Editing Queen Anne-Marie of Greece (section)

==Queen of the Hellenes==
As [[Queen of Greece]], Anne-Marie's initial primary role was to provide the nation with an heir who would eventually take over as King.{{sfn|Lee|2000|p=40}} Anne-Marie spent much of her time working for a charitable foundation known as "Her Majesty's Fund" and later as the "Anne-Marie Foundation", which provided assistance to people in rural areas of Greece. Her Majesty's Fund was an organisation set up by Frederica during her husband's reign which aimed at assisting the poor and disadvantaged.{{sfn|Mateos Sáinz de Medrano|2004|p=131}} Anne-Marie also worked closely with the [[Red Cross]] and other not-for-profit charities.<ref name="Secret"/>

On 10 July 1965, Queen Anne-Marie gave birth at the villa [[Mon Repos, Corfu|Mon Repos]] in [[Corfu]] to her first child, [[Princess Alexia of Greece and Denmark|Princess Alexia]], who was [[heir presumptive]] to the throne of Greece, from her birth until the birth of her younger brother [[Crown Prince Pavlos]] on 20 May 1967 in accordance with Greece's order of succession adhering to [[male-preference primogeniture]].<ref name="burkeI">[[Montgomery-Massingberd, Hugh]].

A falling out resulting in Papandreou's resignation then ensued.<ref>{{cite news|first=Dimitris N.|last=Maniatis|title=Ο Κωνσταντίνος, τα Ιουλιανά του 1965 και ο δρόμος προς τη χούντα|journal=In.gr|date=14 January 2023|url=https://www.in.gr/2023/01/14/life/stories/o-konstantinos-ta-iouliana-tou-1965-kai-o-dromos-pros-ti-xounta/|language=el}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|first=Yannis|last=Pantazopoulos|title=Οι σκοτεινές σελίδες της ιστορίας του τέως βασιλιά Κωνσταντίνου|journal=[[Lifo (magazine)|Lifo]]|date=13 January 2023|url=https://www.lifo.gr/culture/arxaiologia/oi-skoteines-selides-tis-istorias-toy-teos-basilia-konstantinoy|language=el}}</ref>

A group of Greek soldiers in April 1967 overthrew the government of the new Prime Minister, [[Panagiotis Kanellopoulos]], which marked the beginning of a military dictatorship in Greece. The royal family was left unaware and in order to avoid fighting, Constantine and Anne-Marie agreed to recognise the dictatorship against their will, however many members of the public therefore believed that they supported and even funded the coup.{{sfn|Van der Kiste|1994|p=184}}{{sfn|Mateos Sáinz de Medrano|2004|pp=160, 365–369}}{{sfn|Dimitrakis|2009|pp=114–125}} The following month, Anne-Marie gave birth to a son, Pavlos, who immediately assumed the position of Crown Prince of Greece from his sister.{{sfn|Mateos Sáinz de Medrano|2004|p=365}} At his baptism, Anne-Marie and Constantine decided to make Frederica his godmother and the [[Hellenic Army]] his godfather figure. Many people viewed this decision as the royal family's recognition of the military dictatorship. As a result of the military coup, relations between Athens and Copenhagen had been deteriorating and in an attempt to salvage "national security", no member of the Danish royal family was permitted to attend the baptism.{{sfn|Mateos Sáinz de Medrano|2004|pp=367, 384}} [[Margrethe II of Denmark]], the future queen of Denmark, was married to [[Henri de Laborde de Monpezat]] at [[Wedding of Princess Margrethe and Henri de Laborde de Monpezat|their wedding]] on 10 June 1967. Anne-Marie, the sister of Margrethe, and Constantine were subsequently denied an invite to their wedding, further ruining relations for a period of time.{{sfn|Mateos Sáinz de Medrano|2004|p=369}}
