Princess Anne-Marie was born on 30 August 1946 at Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen as the third and last daughter and child of the Crown Prince of Denmark and the Crown Princess, Princess Ingrid of Sweden. She is the younger sister of Princess Margrethe and Benedickte. On 20 April 1947, King Christian X died and Anne-Marie's father ascended the throne as King Frederick IX.
At the time of her father's accession to the throne, only males could ascend the throne of Denmark. The popularity of Frederick IX and his daughters and the more prominent role of women in Danish life paved the way for a new Act of Succession in 1953 which permitted female succession to the throne following the principle of male-preference primogeniture. Anne-Marie's eldest sister Margrethe therefore became heir presumptive.
In 1959, at the age of thirteen, Anne-Marie first met her future husband, her third cousin Constantine, Crown Prince of Greece.They met a second time in Denmark in 1961, when Constantine declared to his parents his intention to marry Anne-Marie. They met again in Athens in May 1962 at the marriage of Constantine's sister Princess Sofia of Greece and Denmark to Prince Juan Carlos of Spain at which Anne-Marie was a bridesmaid. On 6 March 1964, King Paul died, and Constantine succeeded him as King of the Hellenes. Anne-Marie and Constantine were married on 18 September 1964 (two weeks after Anne-Marie's 18th birthday) in the Metropolis, the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Athens. They have five children: Princess Alexia, Crown Prince Pavlos, Prince Nikolaos, Princess Theodora and Prince Philippos.
In April 1967, Anne-Marie’s husband King Constantine had been compelled, after a military coup, to swear into office a military junta. In December 1967, the King attempted to shake off the unelected authoritarian regime and tried to stage a counter-coup with the help of certain like-minded people. The counter-coup failed and Anne-Marie and her family had to flee to Italy. In the aftermath, Anne-Marie miscarried a child. In 1973, Anne-Marie moved with her family to England.
On 14 August 2004 Anne-Marie and her husband Constantine visited their former home in Athens, the former Royal Palace that is now the Presidential Palace, for the first time since 1967.

This is so sad: She and Her Husband Constantine (unprepared as They were) simply were unable to understand what the honest + honourable Greek officers' motives were (Revolutionists = undogmatic ἐπαναστάται of 1967: they were no 'perjurers' or ἐπίορκοι !) and what they (21η Ἀπριλίου 1967) really wanted to achieve. The grave misunderstanding between the two sides was predetermined. So sad. - - - What do you mean "so sad"? - What I mean, today both sides (with a much better enlightened Royal player) would have long since known that both players (Greek government and Royal Court) were pulling together in the same direction. So sad indeed. An opportunity was missed. What a tragedy.

@miltospep21 Жыл бұрын

These officers stormed into King's his house with soldiers with automatic rifles, a tank in the front door and Pattakos storming in holding a pistol... Now this does not leave much room for misunderstanding! Pattakos and Papadopoulos used the name of the unsuspicious King to mobilise the Army and establish the Goverment that they leaded. So much for their honesty! All this dishonest staging made the impression that it was the King behind the coop (or Revolution if you like it so, just keep in mind Army overthrowing elected politicians is called coop, civilians overthrowing anyone is called revolution...) and created a word that kept mixing these two separate things: Βασιλοχουντικοί! Now, fatally, it would be the King to collect the people's wrath for actions made by these officers in his name, entirely against his consent.

@@miltospep21 Thank you for your voluble comment: are you by any chance mixing up the Colonels' appearance at His 'house' on April 21st 1967 (to inform the King of what's going on is quite a normal thing to do when you topple a politically unstable regime - believe it or not, by that time the Colonels never wanted to abolish Royalty in Greece -) with that of December 1967, when the King simply disobeyed their orders and crossed a red line challenging their power and authority (which was later called the King's "coup") and which made him leave the country for good ??

@miltospep21 Жыл бұрын

@@monoecumsemper no, I am not. I'm clearly talking about April 21st. You can find Pattakos interview on that if you like. There is Constantine's interview also that coincide on these facts. Also mention that orders do not go bottoms up, King cannot disobey because the King is not obliged to obey in the first place. It was the colonels stepping on their oath ceased to obey on the first place that crossed all red lines, and suddenly you speak of King's coup (anti-coup in reality) the moment you characterized the real coup as a "Revolution". Goverments are subject to the King, not vice versa! Finally the King had no plans on leaving Greece. If he did, he would have found an excuse for the pregnant Queen to go to Denmark and never losing her child. It was the Chunta that was comforted by expeling Constantinos from the country, orelse she'd have to imprison him and face civil unrest and international condemn. The definite answer is: Colonels violated their oath to the King and the Greek people, colonels expeled the King, they escorted him to Larisa and put him in his plane that barely made it to Rome.

@@miltospep21 False ! The King as we all know accepted the new administration/government as of April 21st w/o any oppositional move just as He would have accepted new "rules" and "terms" under a Fascist or a Communist regime, had either of those totalitarian right-/leftwing extremists had come to power. That's that. Get your history right at last as well as your basic knowledge of statesmanship !!! - Your guess is as good as mine: did the King knowingly make a scandal in Dec 1967 or was His disobedience no more than a stupid mistake/error ?? Why not re-read Stylianos Pattakos about this in "21η Ἂπριλίου 1967: Διατί; Ποῖοι; Πῶς; Ἀθῆναι 1992" and later editions. You'd be surprised to see how objective he is about that event. For the rest, I decline any further ""discussion" with you on this point as you don't have a shred of a clue and I'm not your teacher. END OF DISCUSSION.

@@monoecumsemper The King accepted the Chunta in the middle of the night at a gunpoint. He even insisted at taking a photo with the protagonists to show with his expression that he was actually a hostage. If you were objective you would find that out. All these at April 67. Of course it's end of discussion: discussion needs democratic spirit not consistent with an extreme regime supporter and most of all arguments.

English Royalty, at least till Elizabeth and Philip, has no actual relations to British people! Their true dynasty name are Saxeburg Gotha. All royal families are related to eachother making them related to no country and all the countries they rule, simultaneously. The house of Slesvig-Holsten-Sønderborg-Lyksborg of Oldenburg ruled Hellas for over a hundred years. They ruled the Army victoriously against the Turks and Bulgarians, King George, one of the most respected Kings in Greece was assasinated by an anarchist walking in the street... Well I think those gives them enough right to be called Hellenes...

The Olympic games. Maths, science, pholosiphy, medicine . In fact the sugical tools used 2500 years ago ,are still used today . Geometry, .............so many discoveries. The Greeks had the first railroad back 3000 + years ago, the first doors that opened with out been touched ! . 5 story housing with indoir plumbing , hot and cold water running water, baths . Greeks invented the first umbrella , the first machine to take coins and give food. Today doctors have to take the Hypocratic oath once they pass their medical degree ,in irder to practice medicine . We wrote plays poems which are taught at universities , such as , Homer 's work, Platos work, Aristotles work among so many others . So living in Australia with so much if my culture part of this new country ( invaded by the English) is pages of My Greece .
