Belgrade, 11 June 2013 – His Royal Highness Crown Prince
Alexander II laid a wreath on the tomb of Their Majesties King Alexander and
Queen Draga Obrenovic. His Royal Highness was accompanied by Her Royal Highness
Crown Princess Katherine.
King Alexander and Queen Draga Obrenovic were assassinated
in a coup d’etat on this date 110 years ago. The last King of the Obrenovic
Dynasty was buried with his wife in the Crypt of St. Mark's Church in Belgrade.
Prince Peter Karadjordjevic, the great grandfather of HRH
Crown Prince Alexander II, was appointed King of Serbia by a Constitutional
Assembly of the Serbian Parliament and Senate two weeks later. He was crowned
King of Serbia on 21 September 1904 in St. Michael's Cathedral Church in
Belgrade. The reign of HM King Peter I the Liberator was a period of great
prosperity and stability for Serbia.
