Princess Eugénie of Greece and Denmark (Greek: Ευγενία, romanized: Evyenía; 10 February 1910 – 13 February 1989) was by birth member of the Greek royal family and by marriage member of the House of Radziwiłł and House of Thurn und Taxis.

Early life and ancestry

Eugenie was the youngest child and only daughter of Prince George of Greece and Denmark and his wife, Princess Marie Bonaparte, daughter of Marie-Félix Blanc and Prince Roland Bonaparte, a great-nephew of Napoleon I. Her father was the second son of George I of Greece and Olga Constantinovna of Russia. She had one elder brother, Prince Peter of Greece and Denmark, who, at the time of his birth, was third in line of succession to the Greek throne, preceded only by his unmarried cousin Paul and his own and Eugenia's father, Prince George.

As a cousin of the bridegroom, Eugenie was a leading guest at the 1947 wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. She was also attending the Coronation of Elizabeth II in 1953.

She authored Le Tsarevitch, Enfant Martyr, a biography of Aleksey Nikolaevich, Tsarevich of Russia, written in French, which was published in 1990.

Marriage and issue

She married Prince Dominik Rainer Radziwiłł, member of the House of Radziwiłł (and son of Prince Hieronim Radziwiłł and Archduchess Renata of Austria), on 30 May 1938 in Paris. They divorced in 1946. They had two children:

Eugénie remarried on 28 November 1949 to Prince Raymundo della Torre e Tasso, Duke of Castel Duino, a cadet member of the House of Thurn and Taxis. Their marriage also ended in divorce, in 1965. They had one son:
