===Issue=== Alexander's daughter by Aspasia Manos, [[Alexandra of Yugoslavia|Alexandra]] (1921–1993), was born five months after his death. Initially, the government took the line that since Alexander had married Aspasia without the permission of his father or the church, his marriage was illegal and his posthumous daughter was illegitimate. However, in July 1922, Parliament passed a law which allowed the King to recognize royal marriages retroactively on a non-dynastic basis.<ref>[[Ghislain de Diesbach|Diesbach]], p. 225.</ref> That September,<ref name="Montgomery-Massingberd, p. 327"/> Constantine—at Sophia's insistence—recognized his son's marriage to Aspasia and granted her the style of "Princess Alexander".<ref>Van der Kiste, p. 132.</ref> Her daughter (Constantine I's granddaughter) was legitimized as a princess of Greece and Denmark, and later married King [[Peter II of Yugoslavia]] in London in 1944. They had one child: [[Alexander, Crown Prince of Yugoslavia]].<ref>Montgomery-Massingberd, pp. 327, 536, 544.</ref>
