The military junta in Greece began noticeably distancing itself from the monarchy when [[Georgios Zoitakis]] replaced [[Georgios Papadopoulos]] as the [[Regent of Greece]].{{sfn|Dimitrakis|2009|p=141}} In 1972, Constantine's face was replaced on coins by a phoenix, a symbol of the Greek military and the national bird of Greece.{{harv|Palmer|Greece|1990|p=114}} There began a period of growing uprise against the military dictatorship, which resulted in the abolition of the monarchy in 1973.{{sfn|Palmer|Greece|1990|pp=114–116}}{{sfn|Dimitrakis|2009|pp=141–143}} Anne-Marie and Constantine were officially dethroned by the [[1974 Greek republic referendum]] on 29 July 1974. The royal family were stripped of their monthly payments from the government, forcing them to leave their home in Rome. Margrethe II immediately agreed to house Anne-Marie, Constantine and their family in [[Amalienborg]] for a year.{{sfn|Mateos Sáinz de Medrano|2004|p=374}} Anne-Marie moved with her family to England. They lived first in [[Chobham]] in Surrey. Later, they moved to the London suburb of [[Hampstead]].

The military dictatorship in Greece collapsed in 1974 after a [[1974 Cypriot coup d'état|failed coup d'état]], which aimed to unite Greece and Cyprus. The failed coup directly resulted in the [[1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus]], which brought great opposition to the Greek junta.{{sfn|Palmer|Greece|1990|p=116}} It was hoped that their positions as King and Queen of the Hellenes would be restored as democracy was reinstated, but another referendum confirmed that the monarchy would stay abolished and the [[Third Hellenic Republic]] was finally formed.{{sfn|Van der Kiste|1994|pp=184–185}} The new Greek government continued to enforce the exile of Anne-Marie and her family as they saw them as a threat to the new republic.{{sfn|Mateos Sáinz de Medrano|2004|p=374 and 376}} The family were disallowed to enter the country from then on. They were denied entry into the country even for Frederica's funeral. Frederica had died in exile in February 1981 in Madrid, where she had been staying with her daughter, Sofía. The Spanish royal family and Spanish government intervened and gained authorisation for the Greek royals to return for only one day, the day of the funeral.{{sfn|Mateos Sáinz de Medrano|2004|pp=168–169 et 378}}{{sfn|Palmer|Greece|1990|p=119}} 

In London, Anne-Marie established with Constantine the [[Hellenic College of London]] to again help their children learn the Greek language and culture.{{sfn|Mateos Sáinz de Medrano|2004|p=384}}{{sfn|Celada|2007|p=134}} The family continued to earn support from the Spanish royal family, Danish royal family, [[British royal family]], [[Swedish royal family]] and [[Norwegian royal family]]. Anne-Marie and Constantine received financial aid from [[Hussein of Jordan]] and [[Mohammad Reza Pahlavi]], the [[Shah of Iran]].{{sfn|Mateos Sáinz de Medrano|2004|p=373, 378}} Following a miscarriage in 1980, Anne-Marie and Constantine agreed to expand their family. After the christening of [[Prince Peter of Yugoslavia]], whom Anne-Marie and Constantine baptised, the couple gave birth to [[Princess Theodora of Greece and Denmark (born 1983)|Princess Theodora]] in June 1983 and later [[Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark|Prince Philippos]] in April 1986. In 1989, the silver anniversary of Anne-Marie's marriage to Constantine was celebrated at Kronborg Castle in Denmark.
