Does anyone know what her official title was in Greece? The article starts off with Princess Aspasia Manos, and later says that she used the title Princess of Greece and Denmark after Alexander's death. Was she Princess Aspasia of G&D or Princess Alexander of G&D (to follow the example of Princess Alice of Battenberg, who became Princess Andrew of G&D)? Prsgoddess187 19:46, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
I think that after King Alexander's death, she was recognized a Princess of Greece in hew own right, so she was known as HRH Princess Aspasia of Greece. Likewise, her daughter, Alexandra, was also recognized a Princess of Greece, but not from Denmark.
I believe Alexandra was recognized also as princess of Denmark, in addition to Greece. Such info is somewhere where her marriage with king of Yugoslavia is narrated. For Aspasia, I think all titles were just courtesies - she was wife of a king, but was not recognized as queen - and after the death of her husband, all relevant quarters remembered that her late husband actually was just a second son, the elder brother living, thus legalistically just a prince. No use to try find some rule for Aspasia's titulary, it was not a systematically controlled thing, just courtesies.
