The Hereditary Prince noted: "Three generations, in a direct hereditary line united in one place for the first time." He added that this "has never happened in the history of Karađorđević dynasty."
In April 2022. Philip's older brother, Prince Peter, renounced his hereditary rights in favor of Prince Philip.
King Peter I's father, Alexander, Prince of Serbia, died in 1885, two years after Peter's marriage to Princess Zorka of Montenegro. Peter's first son, Crown Prince George was born in 1887. In 1909, George renounced his rights after killing his valet. King Peter I's second son, Alexander became the Crown Prince and succeeded his father in 1921. Alexander married Princess Marie of Romania. They were the parents of three sons: King Peter II, Prince Tomislav, and Prince Andrej.
