Editing Queen Anne-Marie of Greece (section)

==Later life==
Following the resolution of the disputes, relations between the Greek royal family and the Greek government began to relax. On 21 May 2004, Anne-Marie was peripherally involved in a dispute in Madrid between former [[Vittorio Emanuele, Prince of Naples|Crown Prince Vittorio Emanuele of Italy]] and his cousin and dynastic rival, [[Amedeo, 5th Duke of Aosta|Prince Amedeo of Savoy-Aosta]]. At a ''[[soirée]]'' held at the [[Zarzuela Palace]] during the wedding celebrations of [[Felipe, Prince of Asturias]], Amedeo approached Vittorio, who reportedly punched him twice in the face, causing him to stumble backward down the steps.<ref name="mcintosh">{{cite journal|last=McIntosh|first=David|title=The Sad Demise of the House of Savoy|journal=European Royal History Journal|volume=8.6|issue=XLVIII|pages=3–6|publisher=Arturo E.

On 14 August 2004, Anne-Marie and her husband Constantine visited their former home in Athens, the former Royal Palace that is currently the Presidential Palace, for the first time since 1967. They were received by then-[[President of Greece]] [[Costis Stephanopoulos]] along with other members of the [[International Olympic Committee]], of which Constantine was an honorary member of. In December 2004, Constantine, Anne-Marie and their children were again invited to pay a personal private visit by President Stephanopoulos.{{sfn|Mateos Sáinz de Medrano|2004|p=383}} Once the games concluded, the government announced that Anne-Marie and Constantine's exile would finally be revoked.<ref>{{cite web|lang=es|title=Constantino y Ana María de Grecia están buscando casa en Atenas y en cuanto la encuentren se trasladarán allí|work=El Confidencial|date=25 August 2004|url=http://www.elconfidencialdigital.com/casas_reales/Constantino-Ana-Maria-Grecia-Atenas_0_142185782.html}}</ref>

On 19 December 2024, Anne-Marie's children and five of her grandchildren applied for Greek citizenship, selecting the surname "Ντε Γκρες" (De Grèce; "of Greece"). Anne-Marie did not apply, with it being reported that she was "not interested".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tovima.com/society/former-greek-royal-family-members-apply-for-citizenship-opt-for-surname-de-grece/|title=Former Greek Royal Family Members Apply for Citizenship, Opt for Surname 'De Grece'|date=19 December 2024|access-date=21 December 2024|website=[[To Vima]]}}</ref>
