During the civil war Queen Frederika set the Queen's Camps or Child-cities (translation of: Παιδο(υ)πόλεις / Paidopoleis or Paidupoleis) a network of 53 Camps around Greece where she would gather mostly orphans and children of poor families. These camps admirably provided much needed shelter, food, and education to these children who were aged 3 years to adolescence. Many children who were abducted by communist forces during the civil war were taken against their parents' will into countries behind the Iron Curtain with an aim at communist re-education and as a means of recruiting rebels for the communist cause. This cause included the partition of Greece into a northern communist state. It is estimated by sources including the United Nations and the International Red Cross that 28,000 children were taken by the communists to Albania, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and the Soviet Union. Most children were never returned after the civil war ended in the communist defeat. Many of the children who managed to return with the help of the International and Greek Red Crosses were placed in these Queen's Camps with the personal support of the Queen. Furthermore, many children from earthquake ravaged cities in Greece during the early 1950s were accepted into the Paidopoleis.

The role of these Queen's Camps is disputed by the left-wing as a means of propaganda by the monarchy through the educational program. The Queen's Camps were a way to fend for the children - victims of the civil war. Some communist sources have always insisted that many children were illegally adopted by American families while they were in the Paidopoleis. To date there has not been any credible evidence that any child was illegally adopted from the Queen's Camps. Conversely, there are hundreds of personal accounts and written testimonies from children who grew up in the Paidopoleis. These testimonies describe a program of emotional and educational support from the staff involved. Queen Frederika personally visited these camps many times to review the children's program and meet the needs of the children and/or their families. According to the Greek Royal Family's Historic Record over 33,000 children passed through these Queen's Camps. In the years following the civil war, these children were returned to their families or next of kin after they completed their (usually) high school education. This article is about the definition of the specific type of war. ...

The King and Queen worked tirelessly for Greece. The Greek Civil War ended in August, 1949. The Sovereigns took this opportunity to strengthen the monarchy, they paid official visits to Marshal Josip Broz Tito in Belgrade, the Presidents Luigi Einaudi of Italy in Rome, Theodor Heuss of West Germany, Bechara El Khoury of Lebanon, Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia, Chakravarthi Rajagopalachari of India, King George VI of the United Kingdom, and the United States as guest of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. However, at home in Greece and abroad in the United Kingdom, Queen Frederika was targeted by the opposition, because as a girl she had belonged to a Bund Deutscher Madel girl's branch of the Hitler Youth group, while her supporters argued that evading membership in the group would be difficult under the existing political climate in Nazi Germany at the time.

Exile

King Constantine's clashes with the democratically elected Prime Minister George Papandreou, senior were blamed by critics for causing the destabilisation that led to a military coup on 21 April 1967 and the rise of the regime of the colonels. Faced with a difficult situation, King Constantine initially collaborated with the military dictatorship, swearing in their government under a royalist prime minister. Later that year he attempted a counter-coup in an attempt to restore democracy, whose failure forced him into exile. Faced with the loss of the legitimate Head of State, the junta appointed a Regent to carry out the tasks of the exiled Monarch.
