Notes
- ↑ The exception is King Otto, who was styled King of Greece. Amalia, accordingly, is the only person to hold the title Queen of Greece (rather than of the Hellenes).
- ↑ Aspasia and Alexander's marriage was kept secret, and Aspasia was never styled as Queen of the Hellenes. Sometime after Alexander's death she was recognized as a Princess of Greece and Denmark instead.
