=================================
Frederica of Hanover
(Frederica Louise Thyra Victoria Margaret Sophie Olga Cecily Isabelle Christina; Greek: Φρειδερίκη
18 April 1917 – 6 February 1981) was Queen consort of the Hellenes as the wife of King Paul.
Queen consort of the Hellenes
Frederica
was born on 18 April 1917 in Blankenburg am Harz, Kingdom of Prussia,
German Empire. She was the daughter of Ernest Augustus III, Duke of
Brunswick and Princess Viktoria Luise of Prussia, the only daughter of
German Emperor William II and Augusta Viktoria of Schleswig-Holstein. As
daughter of a Hanoverian Prince, she was Princess Frederica of Hanover,
Great Britain and Ireland, and also Duchess Frederica of
Brunswick-Lüneburg. Through her maternal grandfather, Frederica was a
great-granddaughter of German Emperor Frederick III and Victoria,
Princess Royal, eldest daughter of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom
and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Through this relationship,
Frederica was a distant cousin of the United Kingdom's Elizabeth II and
also of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. As a descendant of George III
of the United Kingdom, she was, at birth, 34th in the line of succession
to the British throne although she had no British rank or title.
In
1936 Prince Paul, Crown Prince of Greece, proposed to her in Berlin when
he was there to see the 1936 Summer Olympics. Their engagement was
announced officially on 28 September 1937. On 9 January 1938 they
married in Athens. Prince Paul was the son of King Constantine I of
Greece and Sophie of Prussia, sister of German Emperor William II
(therefore he was a great-grandson of Queen Victoria and a first cousin
once removed to Frederica). In addition to her standard style, Princess
Frederica, she used the style of Hereditary Princess (Greek: Πριγκήπισσα
Διαδόχου, Prinkēpissa Diadókhou, literally "Princess of the Heir") as
her husband was heir presumptive to his childless elder brother, King
George II. During the early part of their marriage they resided at Villa
Psychiko in the suburbs of Athens. Ten months after their marriage
their first child was born on 2 November 1938: Sophia, the future Queen
Sofia of Spain. On 2 June 1940 their son and heir, Constantine was born.
Queen
Frederica died on 6 February 1981 in exile in Madrid during ophthalmic
surgery. In its obituary of the Queen, The New York Times reported that
she died during "eyelid surgery," which led to frequent but
unsubstantiated rumors that she died while undergoing cosmetic surgery.
Other sources state that her cause of death was a heart attack while
undergoing the removal of cataracts. She was interred at Tatoi (the
Royal family's palace and burial ground in Greece). Her son and his
family were allowed to attend the service but had to leave immediately
afterwards.
