  1. Amalia.


  2. Olga Constantinovna of Russia (Russian: Великая Княжна Ольга Константиновна), later Queen Olga of Greece (Greek: Βασίλισσα Όλγα των Ελλήνων) (3 September 1851 – 18 June 1926), was the queen consort of King George I of Greece and briefly in 1920, Regent of Greece.

    added: I beg to differ. King Othon, was never really king. He kept his Roman Catholic faith, and refused to accept othodoxy. This meant that he could not be crowned as king in accordance to the ritual of the Greek orthodox church.

    (copy & paste)

    When the 17-year-old Bavarian Prince Otto was installed by the London Conference of 1832 as King of Greece, he adopted the Greek name Othon. His troubled reign lasted for 30 years before he and his wife Queen Amalia left the way they came, aboard a British warship. During the early years of his reign a group of Bavarian Regents ruled in his name, and made themselves very unpopular by trying to impose German ideas of rigid hierarchical government on the Greeks. Nevertheless they laid the foundations of a Greek administration, army, justice system and education system. Othon was sincere in his desire to give Greece good government, but he suffered from two great handicaps. He refused to renounce his Roman Catholic faith in favor of Greek Orthodoxy, and his marriage to Queen Amalia remained childless. This meant he could neither be crowned as King of Greece under the Orthodox rite nor establish a dynasty.
