    • Eldest daughter of King George I of the Hellenes and his wife, Grand Duc h ess Olga Constantinovna Romanova.

      Paternal grandson of King Christian IX of Denmark and Louise of Hesse-Ka s sel, Queen Consort of Denmark. Maternal grandson of Grand Duke Konstant i n Nikolayevich of Russia and Princess Alexandra of Saxe-Altenburg.

      Called "Aline", Alexandra was a much loved member of her family and he r b rother described her as "sweet and lovable".

      At the age of nineteen, she was married to Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovi c h of Russia, a son of Tsar Alexander II and his wife Princess Marie vo n H essen bei Rhine. Their marriage took place in St. Petersburg, in Jun e 188 9.

      A daughter, Maria Pavlovna was born to the couple a year later. And in 1 8 91, their son Dmitri Pavlovich was born prematurely following an accide n t to his mother.

      Dmitri survived, but Alexandra slipped into a coma and died six days lat e r.

      The Grand Duke Paul was distraught over the death of his beloved wife, a n d she was buried at St. Peter and St. Paul Cathedral in St. Petersbur g un til 1938, when her remains were moved to the Tatoi Royal Cemetery i n Athe ns.

      She was survived by both her parents; her husband, Grand Duke Paul of Ru s sia; her daughter Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna; and her son, Grand Duk e D mitri Pavlovich of Russia.
