Helen of Greece and Denmark
Princess Helen of Greece and Denmark ((ギリシア語:Ελένη); 2 May/3 May 1896 – 28 November 1982) was married to King Carol II of Romania prior to his accession, and was the mother of King Michael. She is noted for her humanitarian efforts to save the Romanian Jews during the Second World War, which led to her being awarded the honorary title of ''Righteous Among the Nations''

Helen was born in Athens, the third child of the future King Constantine I of Greece and Sophia of Prussia. Helen had three brothers, each of whom reigned as kings of Greece - George II, Alexander, and Paul - and two sisters, Irene and Katherine.
In 1910 Helen went into exile with her parents and siblings as a result of a military plot to put her father on the Greek throne in place of her grandfather King George I of Greece.〔Arthur Gould Lee, ''Helen, Queen Mother of Rumania, Princess of Greece and Denmark: An Authorized Biography'' (London: Faber and Faber, 1956), 25.〕 The family spent the summer at Schloss Friedrichshof, the home of Helen's maternal aunt Margaret, Landgravine of Hesse. They spent the winter at a hotel in Frankfurt before returning to Athens.
In 1917 Helen and her family went into exile a second time as a result of her father not supporting the Allies in World War I.〔Gould, 63-64.〕 After a brief stay at St. Moritz, the family moved to a villa near Zurich. Their movements were severely restricted by the Allies; they had to reside in the German-speaking part of Switzerland, their French and English staff had to be dismissed, and they were not permitted contact with other French and English people.
