Princess Olga of Greece and Denmark

Princess Olga of Greece and Denmark (11 June, 1903 ? 16 October, 1997) was the granddaughter of King George I of Greece and wife of the last Prince Regent of Yugoslavia.

Diminished status

Yugoslavia became a republic in 1945, and the Yugoslav Royal Family went into exile, Paul and Olga settling in South Africa. Greece became a republic in 1975 and stopped recognizing royal titles in Greek citizens. Olga's Yugoslavian and Greek titles were thus of questionable validity in those respective nations, but her Danish title remained valid, and she continued to be known as Princess Olga until her death.
