Catchy title but they are no more "pretend" than any other monarch with no or limited constitutional power. Besides a strong historical and symbolic influence, our royal couple has done much for their country - especially Princess Katherine, who selflessly accomplished dozens of humanitarian projects so far. I have organized a few myself, and I know how much heart, effort and time has to go into each one of them. She deserves a huge thank you from our people. As for my countrymen who think that the Prince should speak better Serbian, I can only say, language affinity is a very personal matter, and I find of much more importance the fact that he is a well-connected, educated, decent positive force for Serbia in times when Serbia needs as much of it as possible to keep the delicate balance when facing its own challenges against the framework of fragile World peace & politics.

Kind of wrong on multiple accounts here. While there is little legitimacy of government in royalty to begin with, his claim to the "Throne" is a rather disputed one. Post Ottoman Serbia really only had political actors that used the title of king. His claim is no greater than that of an Obrenovic. Now a claim of being humane is completely asinine here. In 2015 the royal residence alone cost 34 Million RSD. 34 Million out of taxpayer money. Your money. They are a pointless drain on an already stained economy with questionable and potentially fraudulent income. Katarina does not donate to charity. She, with no elected legitimacy or authorization appropriates Serbian taxpayer money in order to fuel a populist lifestyle presentation. We need to make this abundantly clear. They are awarded our money, money that could be spent fixing roads, hospitals etc, and simply direct the funds to where they choose. Exempt from taxes or the rule of law. As all monarchs do. Monarchies are evil, there is no god given right of Sovereignty. A government is legitimized only by the will of the people. This is just robbery.

Alexander II is Prince of Serbia and distant relative of King Charles. While serving as a UK military officer, Alexander II has publicly declared that he does not claim any rights to the throne of, Yugoslavia, and now Serbia. The palace he resides in now, was purchased by his grandfather Alexander I, so Alexander II has all rights to own the palace, that was confiscated by the totalitarian communist regime of Tito.

You my have well have said that Princes Charles and William are the "pretend royal family of the UK."

His father (King Petar 2) did not abdicate from the throne - Tito abolished the monarchy and formally deposed King Petar 2. This was done without any referendum and as previously stated the King refused to abdicate. Churchill designated Suite 212 at Claridge's Hotel, London Yugoslav territory for the day so that Prince Aleksandar could retain his right to that same throne. As with many European households after WW2 when the communists took over, these people were thrown out of their countries along with thousands of men who were for King and country (as was the case in Serbia).

Crown Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia (officially in Serbia as Aleksandar Karađorđević) was born and raised in London. His second wife Katherine (née Katherine Clairy Batis) was born in Greece. After Peter II of Yugoslavia (Alexander's father) was deposed by Yugoslavia's Communist Constituent Assembly, he settled in the United States and died in Denver, Colorado. he was interred in Saint Sava Monastery Church at Libertyville, Illinois, the only European monarch so far to have been buried in the United States. In 2013, Peter's remains were returned to Belgrade, Serbia and buried in the Royal Family Mausoleum at Oplenac.

[@gunnarthorsen]

Lol yourself. There have been numerous instances in history where kings or queens didn't speak the language of their people. William III of England spoke Dutch. The last Tsarina of Russia, Alexandra, spoke German and had to learn Russian. There's more to loving and representing a nation via historical continuity and symbolic traditions than "language", which can in time be learned, something that many Serbians will agree on.

[@gunnarthorsen]

Ah......Nekic? 1. The royal family didn't betray their country in 1941 by "escaping" it, as they were essentially kicked out, FORCED INTO EXILE by the Communists, as were other royal families in Europe. Prior to this, as you know, King Alexander was assassinated, and Prince Paul was appointed regent for the 11 year old, King Peter II. Paul tried to restore elements of democracy to Yugoslavia that King Alexander had removed. He was later pressured into signing a compact with Hitler that put Yugoslavia in the Axis powers sphere, so in this sense, HE betrayed his people, yet he was never tried for war crimes by the Allies, and he was later rehabilitated by the government at Belgrade. Even British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed an agreement with Hitler and Mussolini, allowing Hitler to take parts of Czechoslovakia, with the promise that Germany wouldn't attack Great Britain. Easy for us to look back and criticize, but we might have acted the same way then if faced with the same dilemmas 2. The present heir to the throne, Crown Prince Alexander, didn't "betray his country" because wasn't even born then. 3. The Serbian royal family moved from London back to royal palace in Belgrade in 2001, SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO. You didn't know that, yet you claim to be knowledgable about Serbians?

Tehnically, yeah. From 1910 to 1918,it was an independent kingdom, that gained independence the same year as Serbia and Romania (1878).after ww1, montenegro united with the kingdom of serbs, croats and slovenes (later the kingdom of Yougoslavia). In 2006,Montenegro voted to be an indepenent country, and they did.

Furthermore what was found in his secret safe opened (after 30 years) by the National Bank of Serbia ??? This included money (in different foreign currencies), diamonds, jewels and property belonging to the Karadjordjevic family - whilst his wife Jovanka lived the end of her life in abject poverty.

Simple mathematics -let me explain....... Yugoslavia formed in 1918 and Tito and his communist party deposed the King in 1945 and declared Yugoslavia a Republic. 1918 - 1945 = 27 years so the Karadjordjevic family rules for nearly 30 years or 3 decades (each decade being 10 years).

@@lordofthephoenix1609 I was born and brought up abroad and we have a different view of who and what he was. I had an uncle (married to my aunt) from Zagreb and a brother in law (my cousin's husband) who was from Dubrovnik. Both of these wonderful gentlemen spoke Serbo-Croatian quite normally, as we all did. The "story" of Tito's early days is just a fable and listening to him speak it is evident that he struggles with the Serbo-Croatian language even allowing for different dialects. I don't know from which part of the former Yugoslavia you hail from but Tito killed, jailed or confiscated property from Serbs and the damage to Serbia started during his reign of terror.

[@susansmith6737]

@@lordofthephoenix1609 I am certainly not saying that! The leaders of today's Serbia were born in and brought up during Tito's totalitarian reign. Unlike your ancestors - my family were from BG which was known as the centre of Serb activity before WW2. After the war my father was forced to leave his homeland as he was in the King's Army. My grandfather's had factories, real estate and land confiscated by the communist government. Reputable and rich households, industrialists and intellectuals (in fact anyone who was a threat to the communist regime) were killed. Tito's regime resulted in the death of 500,000 people (mostly Serbs) as critics and ideological opponents were liquidated. Those who were left were fed lies which they believed, history was rewritten and the "wonderful standards of living" were funded by foreign bank loans organised by Tito to pay for his lavish lifestyle (for which todays Serbia is still paying - I believe over 80 million euros was repaid only last year).So the Royals may not speak perfect Serbian but they are in their rightful place. What I don't understand is why young Serbs don't insist that Tito's body be removed from BG and returned back to where it came from.......wherever that is ???????

[@timothy9434]

I fully support monarchy. But I detest aristocracy. Czar Nicholas II tried to introduce many reforms into the Russian Empire that were very similar to Nordic Socialism, today. But the greedy aristocracy thwarted all such reforms. And we know what happened. A monarchy devoid of hanger-on aristocracy is the best idea. Serbia can do that, today.

It would be reinstated as a constitutional monarchy much like The United Kingdom.
