kingofgreece

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called La Belle Epoque ca.1890 - ca.1914 incl. ArtDeco and ArtNouveau, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Although they looked rather similar, I'm guessing this is King Constantine I rather than his father King George I, which would date the image no earlier than March 1913.

Constantine I King of the Hellenes

Constantine I was King of Greece from 1913 to 1917 and from 1920 to 1922. He was Commander-in-Chief of the Hellenic Army during the unsuccessful Greco-Turkish War of 1897 and led the Greek forces during the successful Balkan Wars of 1912-1913, in which Greece captured Thessaloniki, and doubled in area and population. He succeeded to the throne of Greece on 18 March 1913, following his father's assassination. --Wikipedia

Is the present Queen of Spain from this family? I know she is Greek royalty.

@ Cassies grandma -- Yes. The former king(s) are related to most of European royalty. King Constantine II's sister, Sophia, is married to King Juan Carlos of Spain (she was the former Princess Sophia of Greece and Denmark). BTW, King Constantine II of Greece and Queen Sofia of Spain are third cousins to Prince Charles of Great Britain. --Wikipedia

King Constantine I, as well as well as the future King Alexander & George II. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Kings_of_Greece

He succeeded to the throne of Greece on 18 March 1913, following his father's assassination. His wife was Princess Sophie of Prussia (Sophie Dorothea Ulrike Alice; June 14, 1870 – January 13, 1932). The children are listed at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophia_of_Prussia Their sixth child was born in May 1913.

We'll add the additional identification to the source data and reload the description. Thanks!
