“My wife and I wish our dear Marija a very happy birthday, filled with joy, love, and fun! May you always be healthy, cheerful, and happy, the pride of your parents and our entire family! We all love you very much. Each moment we spend with you is a true blessing!” said HRH Crown Prince Alexander.
Her Royal Highness Princess Marija, the daughter and the second child of Their Royal Highnesses Hereditary Prince Philip and Princess Danica, is the granddaughter of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Alexander of Serbia, and the great-granddaughter of Their Majesties King Peter II and Queen Alexandra of Yugoslavia. She was born in Belgrade, Serbia, on 5 November 2023.
With the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Porfirije of Serbia, the bells of Belgrade’s St. Sava Temple tolled, heralding the birth of the newborn member of the Royal Family of Serbia. That was the second time that the 49 bells of the biggest orthodox temple in the Balkans announced such a birth after it announced the birth of Princess Marija’s brother, HRH Prince Stefan. The bells of St. George's Church in Oplenac, as well as those of Gračanica Monastery and Ziča Monastery, tolled, celebrating the birth, too.
This birth of a female child was the first one in the Ruling Branch of the Royal Family of Serbia, after 139 years, when Princess Hellene, the daughter of HM King Peter I was born.
