Alexander of Greece belongs to the record of public life as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Alexander of Greece as King of Greece (1917–1920).
Alexander of Greece was born at Tatoi Palace in 1893. His recorded nationality is Greece.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, national institutions, mass media and mass politics changed both the scale of a career and its risks.
Alexander of Greece is described as politician.
What survives of a political career is usually not the speeches but the institutions left behind.
Formal recognition came in the shape of the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath, Knight grand cross of the order of the crown of Italy and knight of the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus.
That the work was done from Greece matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Death came in 1920, at 27. By then the contribution had passed into the settled record.
