| Notes |
- Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-S o nderburg-Glücksburg, was the seventh child and fourth son of King Geor g e I of Greece and Olga Constantinovna of Russia. He was a grandson of C hr istian IX of Denmark and father of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. H e w as a prince of both Denmark and Greece by virtue of his patrilineal d esce nt.
A career soldier, he began military training at an early age, and was co m missioned as an officer in the Greek army. His command positions were s ub stantive appointments rather than honorary, and he saw service in th e Bal kan Wars. In 1913, his father was assassinated and Andrew's elder b rother , Constantine, became king. The king's neutrality policy during Wo rld Wa r I led to his abdication, and most of the royal family, includin g Andrew , was exiled. On their return a few years later, Andrew saw serv ice as Ma jor General[1] in the Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922), but the wa r went bad ly for Greece, and Andrew was blamed, in part, for the loss o f Greek terr itory. He was exiled for a second time in 1922, and spent mo st of the res t of his life in France.
By 1930, he was estranged from his wife, Princess Alice of Battenberg. H i s only son, Prince Philip, served in the British navy during World Wa r II , while all four of his daughters were married to Germans, three o f who m had Nazi connections. Separated from his wife and son by the effe cts o f the war, Andrew died in Monte Carlo in 1944. He had seen neithe r of the m since 1939.
