  • 15 October 1968 - present: Princess Alexandra of Greece

Unlike other members of the Greek Royal Family, Alexandra and her sister Olga are not deemed a full member of the Greek royal house under the monarchy, despite being born of a marriage recognized by King Constantine II of Greece (pursuant to Greek legislative decree 1298/1949). As daughters of a non-dynastic marriage, she and her younger sister are not accorded the traditional style of Royal Highness, nor do they bear the title Princess of Denmark".[1][2]
