| Notes |
- She was queen consort of Greece as the wife of King George I. She was br i efly the regent of Greece in 1920.
A member of the Romanov dynasty, she was the oldest daughter of Grand Du k e Constantine Nikolaievich and his wife, Princess Alexandra of Saxe-Alt en burg. She spent her childhood in Saint Petersburg, Poland and the Crim ea , and married King George I of Greece in 1867 at the age of sixteen. A t f irst, she felt ill at ease in the Kingdom of Greece, but she quickl y beca me involved in social and charitable work. She founded hospitals a nd scho ols, but her attempt to promote a new, more accessible, Greek tra nslatio n of the Gospels sparked riots by religious conservatives.
On the assassination of her husband in 1913, Olga returned to Russia. Wh e n the First World War broke out, she set up a military hospital in Pavl ov sk Palace, which belonged to her brother. She was trapped in the palac e a fter the Russian Revolution of 1917, until the Danish embassy interve ned , allowing her to escape to Switzerland. Olga could not return to Gre ec e as her son, King Constantine I, had been deposed.
In October 1920, she returned to Athens on the fatal illness of her gran d son, King Alexander. After his death, she was appointed regent until t h e restoration of Constantine I the following month. After the defeat o f t he Greeks in the Greco-Turkish War of 1919–22 the Greek royal famil y wer e again exiled and Olga spent the last years of her life in the Uni ted Ki ngdom, France and Italy.
