Η ΑΒΥ Πριγκίπισσα Ελένη της Ελλάδας της Δανίας και της Ρουμανιας Γεννήθηκε πριν 127 χρόνια στις 2 Μαΐου 1896 στην Αθήνα και ήταν το τρίτο παιδί και η πρώτη κόρη του Κωνσταντίνου Α΄ της Ελλάδας και της Σοφίας. Στις 10 Μαρτίου 1921, έγινε η πρώτη Πριγκίπισσα της Ελλάδας που παντρεύτηκε στην Αθήνα.Η τελετή έλαβε χώρα στον Μητροπολιτικό Ναό των Αθηνών, όπου παντρεύτηκε τον δεύτερο εξάδελφό της, διάδοχο του ρουμανικού θρόνου τότε, Κάρολο.

Ο γάμος αυτός στην αρχή ήταν ευτυχισμένος, αλλά σύντομα η κατάσταση άλλαξε και έτσι στις 21 Ιουνίου 1928, ο γάμος διαλύθηκε από το Ανώτατο Δικαστήριο της Ρουμανίας για λόγους ασυμβατότητας.

Κατά τη διάρκεια του Β΄ Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου αφοσιώθηκε στη φροντίδα των τραυματιών. Για τις προσπάθειές της στη διάσωση Εβραίων της Ρουμανίας από τους Γερμανούς Ναζί, τιμήθηκε με τον τιμητικό τίτλο του Δίκαιου των Εθνών.

Από τον γάμο της με τον Κάρολο της Ρουμανίας απέκτησε το μοναδικό της παιδί ένα γιό τον Μιχαήλ (1921-2017), μετέπειτα Βασιλιά της Ρουμανίας.

Η Ελένη απεβίωσε στην Λωζάνη, στις 28 Νοεμβρίου 1982

HRH Princess Helen of Greece, Denmark and Romania was born 127 years ago on May 2, 1896 in Athens and was the third child and first daughter of Constantine I of Greece and Sophia. On March 10, 1921, she became the first Princess of Greece to marry in Athens. The ceremony took place in the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens, where she married her second cousin, heir to the Romanian throne at the time, Crown Prince Charles of Romania

This marriage was initially happy, but soon the situation changed and so on June 21, 1928, the marriage was dissolved by the Supreme Court of Romania on grounds of incompatibility.

During the Second World War he devoted himself to the care of the wounded. For her efforts in rescuing Romanian Jews from the German Nazis, she was awarded the honorary title of Right of Nations.

From her marriage to Charles of Romania, she had her only child, a son, Prince Michael (1921-2017), later King of Romania.

Eleni died in Lausanne on November 28, 1982

Currently there is no known photos of the wedding of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and Princess Alix of Hesse and By Rhine on 14 November 1894 ( 26 November 1894 N.S.) at the Grand Church of the Winter Palace.Of course they may still be in the Russian Archives,not yet released

On 19 April 1894, Tsarevich Nikolai Alexandrovich Romanov of Russia was at the wedding of Ernst-Ludwig Grand Duke of Hesse, to their mutual cousin,Princess Victoria Melita of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Nicholas had also obtained permission from his parents, Tsar Alexander III and Empress Marie Feodorovna, to propose to Ernst's younger sister, Princess Alix of Hesse and by Rhine.The Emperor and Empress had initially been opposed to the match. However, Nicholas, who had first met Alix a decade earlier in St. Petersburg when Alix's sister, Princess Elisabeth of Hesse and by Rhine, married Nicholas's uncle, Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich Romanov of was not to be dissuaded. Furthermore, Tsar Alexander's health was beginning to fail.

Shortly after arriving in Coburg, Nicholas proposed to Alix. However, Alix, who was a devout Lutheran, rejected Nicholas's proposal, as in order to marry the heir to the throne, she would have to convert to Russian Orthodoxy.However, Alix's cousin, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, who had been at the wedding, insisted that it was her duty to marry Nicholas, despite her religious scruples.Elisabeth also spoke with her, insisting that there were not that many differences between Lutheranism and Orthodoxy. At the prompting of the Kaiser, Nicholas proposed for the second time, and she accepted.

On 1 November 1894, Alexander III died at Maly Palace, Livadia, leaving twenty-six-year-old Nicholas as the next Tsar of Russia. The following day, Alix, who had arrived at Livadia several days earlier in order to receive the dying Tsar's blessing, was received into the Russian Orthodox Church as Grand Duchess Alexandra Feodorovna.Alix had apparently expressed her wish to take the name Catherine, but decided to take the name Alexandra on Nicholas's request.
