Prince Nicholas of Greece and Denmark (Greek: Νικόλαος; 22 January 1872 – 8 February 1938), of
the Glücksburg branch of the House of Oldenburg, was the fourth child and third son of George I of
Greece, and of Queen Olga. He was known as "Greek Nicky" within the family to distinguish him
from his cousin Emperor Nicholas II of Russia (first cousin on the paternal side and second cousin
on the maternal side). Prince Nicholas was a talented painter, often signing his works as "Nicolas Leprince."
He married Grand Duchess Elena Vladimirovna of Russia (1882–1957), daughter of Grand Duke
Vladimir Alexandrovich of Russia and Marie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, the only sister of the future
Russian imperial pretender, Grand Duke Cyril Vladimirovich, and his second cousin through his
mother Olga Constantinovna of Russia and her father Vladimir Alexandrovich of Russia, on 29
August 1902 in Tsarskoye Selo, Russia.
They had three daughters:
• Princess Olga of Greece and Denmark (1903–1997); married Prince Paul of Yugoslavia.
Olga was the maternal grandmother of actress Catherine Oxenberg & author Christina Oxenberg.
• Princess Elizabeth of Greece & Denmark (1904–1955); married Count Carl Theodor of Toerring-Jettenbach.
• Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark (1906–1968); married Prince George, Duke of Kent.
Marina was the mother of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, Princess Alexandra, & Prince Michael of Kent.
The princesses were raised with an English nanny, Kate Fox, known as "Nurnie".
Along with his elder brothers Constantine & George, Nicholas helped to organize 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens.
