Everyone knows that Greece is a republic, but in fact it was still a monarchy decades ago.
Like Marina, the Duchess of Kent in the United Kingdom, and Prince Philip (both cousins) both came from the Greek royal family back then.

Since Greece is an Orthodox country, They have always been married to the same faith as the Tsarist Russian royal family intermarriages, so the princes and princesses in Greece have deep facial features and always have a mysterious oriental temperament.
Marina's generation has produced many elegant and lively princesses.
For example, Marina's eldest sister Olga.
Olga
For example, Prince Philip's third sister Cecily.
But none of them seemed to get a good ending.
Marina married George, Duke of Kent, England at the age of 27, becoming the last foreign princess to marry into the British royal family.
Unfortunately, George took all men and women and sought flowers and would ask for help. He died of a plane crash one month after his youngest son was born. Marina, who became a widow, had to raise three children alone, and lived a difficult life.
As a side branch princess, Olga married the regent of Yugoslavia and won the right to speak for his sisters' marriage.
Yugoslav royal family was subsequently deposed, and the Olga family was forced to go into exile. In her later years, their children used her name to hype up and became uneasy.
Cecily's beauty is a poor life.
Although he married back to his grandmother's Hesse royal family and became the hostess of Hesse, he was destroyed on the way to attend his brother-in-law's wedding.
Cecily, who was eight months pregnant at the time, died of her husband, mother-in-law and two sons, leaving only a daughter who could not board the plane because she was young. As a result, her daughter also died of meningitis two years later.
or above is just a side princess. The daughters of Greek king Constantine I are serious princesses. They are the same generation as Marina and the others, and their appearance is outstanding, and their miserable fate is even worse.
Constantine's eldest daughter Helen has such a peerless and elegant name. Helen's appearance is slightly inferior to her cousins, but she is very dignified after a country.
She is the mother of the last king of Romania. Unfortunately, Her husband was unfaithful and transferred his post-marriage property; her son was deposed and he was in exile all his life. He had to sell his jewelry in the most difficult time.
The Greek classic rebroken crown worn by Shanghai Lun at the wedding was lost in exile.
Helen's sister Erin is the favorite heroic appearance in the 1920s.
She was engaged to the prince of Schaumburg-Lipper, Germany. For the princess, this marriage was considered a low marriage. However, the Greek royal family was shaky at that time, and no one cared about Erin's marriage. In the end, Erin was resigned.
It was not until the age of 33 that Erin married Emon, the fourth Duke of Aosta in Italy.
After marriage, Eimon was established as the puppet king of the Croatian fascist government, and Erin became the puppet queen because of this. However, two years later, the two were deposed and the queen went into exile. Erin gave birth to her only child Amedio at the age of 37.
Middle-aged Erin looked bitter and revenge. She must be because her life was too unhappy.
The youngest sister, Katherine, is lucky in comparison.
Catherine was assassinated and killed in the first few weeks before her birth.At the age of four, Catherine's father was forced to abdicate and the family went into exile.
WWII After the fight, Katherine fled to South Africa and lost contact with her family. But on a boat back to the UK from South Africa, Catherine meets her later husband, Lieutenant Richard Brandam, and the two get engaged after arriving in the UK.
From then on, Catherine lived in the UK for a long time, living a low-key but calm life, and always maintained a close relationship with the British royal family. She is the longest-lived great-grandchild of Queen Victoria.
