Grand Duchess Alexandra Georgievna of Russia ((ロシア語:Алекса́ндра Гео́ргиевна)), née Princess Alexandra of Greece ((ギリシア語:Πριγκίπισσα Αλεξάνδρα της Ελλάδας)) (30 August 1870 – 24 September 1891) was the third child and firstborn daughter of King George I and Queen Olga of Greece, who herself was a daughter of a Russian grand duke, and was also a grandchild of Denmark's King Christian IX and Queen Louise. She was a sister to Constantine I of Greece, and thus aunt of three kings and two queens, Constantine's three sons, who all became kings of Greece, and two of his daughters, who were queens, in name, of Romania and Croatia, respectively. She was also a paternal aunt of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. ==Marriage and children== Alexandra, whose nicknames were "Greek Alix" or "Aline", was well-loved by her family. "She had one of those sweet and lovable natures that endeared her to everybody who came in touch with her," recalled her brother Prince Nicholas of Greece. "She looked young and beautiful, and ever since she was a child, life looked as it had nothing but joy and happiness in store for her."〔Mager (1998), p. 124〕 She had close ties to the Russian imperial family, being, through her mother, a granddaughter of Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich of Russia, and through her father, a niece of Empress Maria Feodorovna, wife of Tsar Alexander III. When she was eighteen years old, she was married to Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovich of Russia, her maternal first cousin once removed and the youngest child and sixth son of Emperor Alexander II and his first wife Princess Marie of Hesse and by Rhine. They had become close when Grand Duke Paul spent winters in Greece due to his frequent respiratory illnesses. The Greek royal family also frequently spent holidays with the Romanov family on visits to Russia or Denmark.〔Zeepvat (2004), p. 49〕 They had two children: * Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna * Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grand Duchess Alexandra Georgievna of Russia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
