Princess Alexia of Greece and Denmark (Greek: Πριγκίπισσα Αλεξία της Ελλάδας και Δανίας), born 10 July 1965, is the elder daughter and eldest child of King Constantine II of the Hellenes and his wife Queen Anna-Marie (née Princess Anne-Marie Dagmar Ingrid of Denmark who is the youngest daughter of King Frederick IX of Denmark and his wife Ingrid of Sweden).

Princess Alexia was born at Mon Repos, Corfu, Ionian Islands, Greece, the same house as Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

Since her own birth and until the birth on 20 May 1967 of her brother Pavlos, Princess Alexia was heiress presumptive to the throne of Hellenes, then an extant monarchy. The succession law of Greece was not a Salic one, instead it was effectively similar with the ones of the United Kingdom and Spain.

On 9 July 1999 Princess Alexia married Carlos Morales Quintana, an architect and a champion yachtsman, at St. Sophia Cathedral, London. Princess Alexia and Carlos Morales have four children:

  • Arrietta Morales y de Grecia, born 24 February 2002 in Barcelona.
  • Ana María Morales y de Grecia, born 15 May 2003 in Barcelona.
  • Carlos Morales y de Grecia, born 30 July 2005 in Barcelona.
  • Amelia Morales y de Grecia, born 26 October 2007 in Barcelona.

Alexia is godmother to Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece, Princess Isabella of Denmark and Emma Tallulah Behn.

Alexia and her family live now in Puerto Calero, Lanzarote, Canary Islands in a house designed by her husband.[1]
