I think Frederica was not without her charm and it may very well have happened that Farouk hit on her. Her problem was meddling in politics.
I'm not sure you understood what Gregory meant here. When a man hits on a woman, it means he likes her as a woman, he flirts her and suggests they spend the night together. King Farouk liked Frederica and he obviously told her he wanted to sleep with her...Farouk ?????? hahahahaha
Did he returned the sword to the Shah of Persia, and the clock Winton Churchill? Hahahah
Which daughter? What did Sophie or Irene say about Frederica?
I don't consider her a great beauty either and as far as I know she didn't do that herself - she often commented when Sophia was born how dissapointed she was that he baby seemed to have inherited her nose . But she did have a style that suited her very much and let's not forget that she was still a fresh and young woman in her 20s back them when this happened and youth always adds something extra IMO.]I don't know if Frederica was breathtakingly beautiful - I guess we can say she was pretty and well-groomed. We can see this nowadays in Q.Sofia of Spain, her daughter.
I agree with you Nikoplopulos as I have been told by countless individuals the same as you have so articulately put here.I remember that moment she mourned the King as well... very heart rending.Frederika had great dignity throughout her life and until her untimely death.Queen Frederika had grace, elegance and substance and it is certainly seen from her children what she was and what she taught them.What a fantastic mother.!Queen Federica was a very cultured and had a great education, how to take sunglasses, her bag, when she looked her clock...., she was very elegant. She was not high, King Paul was quite high. Jean Dessen appreciated her gestures, he saw in Queen Federica an natural elegance. Queen Federika was close to King Pavlo, when the King Pavlo died, at the funeral, as they walked behind the coffin, there was a time when she broke to mourn ... I still remember that moment.
I found this photo tonight of Sophie and Frederica just after Sophie's birth. I'd never seen it before; it's sweet.

King, Kaiser, Tsar is an excellent book.
If King Paul I had lived longer- say, until the 1980s- would the Greek monarchy have been overthrown?
Of course the King's two younger children, Princess Theodora and Prince Philippos, cannot have any pictures with Queen Frederika, since she died a few years before they were born.The king's 3rd&4rd&5rd children seems never take photo with their grandmother.
