Crown Prince Alexander at the fifty fourth memorial service of HM Queen Maria at St. George Church Oplenac

22/06/2015

His Royal Highness Crown Prince Alexander, attended the Holy Liturgy and Memorial Service at the Church of St. George in Oplenac today, on the occasion of the fifty fourth anniversary of death of his grandmother Her Majesty Queen Maria. The clergy of St. George Church officiated the service. His Royal Highness laid a wreath and lit candles at her tomb, but also at the tombs of all members of Karadjordjevic Family that were hurried at the Royal mausoleum at St. George Church in Oplenac.

HM Queen Maria was the daughter of HM King Ferdinand of Romania and HM Queen Marie of Romania (a daughter of HRH Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, a son of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom). The Queen was born in Gotha, Thuringia, in Germany 6 January 1900 and died in London 22 June 1961. Her Majesty married HM King Alexander I of Yugoslavia in Belgrade 8 June 1922 and they had three sons Crown Prince Peter (later HM King Peter II, father of HRH Crown Prince Alexander II), Prince Tomislav and Prince Andrej.

She was loved very much by the Serbian people. She was a role model of a devoted and caring wife and mother. She was very much engaged in humanitarian work. After the assassination of HM King Alexander I in Marseilles 9 October 1934 she continued to care for her sons and became the Queen Mother. She was very active with the Red Cross during World War II, and sent a lot of humanitarian help to Yugoslavia, but always signed herself with alias Maria K. Djordjevic.

She lived modestly on her estate in Kent, England after World War II. Charles de Gaulle decorated her with the Great Cross of the Legion of Honour in 1959. She passed away on 22 June 1961, and was buried at the Royal Cemetery in Frogmore in Windsor.

Her remains were transferred to Serbia on 29 April 2013, and she was buried at the Royal Mausoleum in Oplenac during the State funeral 26 May 2013.

22/06/2015

Patients at the Clinic for oncology in Knez selo will go from now on for radiation treatment to Nis everyday, thanks to today’s donation of a car by Their Royal Highnesses Crown Prince Alexander and Crown Princess Katherine. Beside the car, the Royal couple also donated two air conditioners to the clinic.

Crown Prince Alexander and Crown Princess Katherine visited the Clinic for Oncology in Knez selo last week, on the occasion of renovation of two separate apartments and replacement of windows in one department. The Royal couple was then informed that Clinic has serious problems with the transportation of patients for radiation therapy in Nis, due to the lack of cars. Their Royal Highnesses promised that they will do their best to provide a vehicle as soon as possible. The car was bought last Friday, and today it will be delivered to the Clinic for Oncology in Knez selo. Beside the car, the Royal couple will donate two air conditioners to the clinic.

Crown Prince Alexander and Crown Princess Katherine traditionally help the functioning of the Clinic for Oncology in Knez selo. 100,000 EUR were invested in the renovation of the ward for palliative care, that bears the name of Princess Katherine, and that money was raised thanks to Lifeline Humanitarian Organization from London, whose Patron is Princess Katherine.
