Crown Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia & family

[Marc]

There are almost no chances for that in near future and I am afraid even after that...so...

[Marlene]

Alexander's palaces have not been returned to him.  He pays for the upkeep,etc.,  but he says he will wait his turn to have his property officially returned.

I have been doing some homework folks.
But firstly Lucien, should we change this threads title to Crown Prince rather than just Prince?
That is his title ofcourse.
Anyway, the Serbian State recognizes HRH, has returned his ancestral lands and palaces to him, invites him to all major functions, openings etc etc.
The Serbian Orthodox Church  (soc... ha ha!) has him at every event, chants the Te Dieum whenever he is present, and see's him as their Protector.
The military salute him whenever they see him, even though he has no current State title or role and most official and unofficial bodies, ie Red Cross, UN and others often rank him higher at events than the Serb President and PM.
Remember the Serbs had the stuffing kicked out of them by the Yanks and Poms,with no help from Europe of course  (GRRRRRRR!!) and a strong and stabilizing influence would undoubtably come in handy in these difficult times,(thanks George)
HRH does not want to be an autocrat,but a Constitutional Monarch embodying all the goodness of his peple and nation and from what I have seen and heard, I would not be surprised if in the next few years we will change the HRH title to His Majesty.

Marlene, I believe they are his now.

[Marc]

Marlene is right,they are still not ;(

[Ilias_of_John]

All documentation that I have seen, and all conversations that I have had indicate that they are his.
By the way, I would say that the Crown Prince and the current President of Serbia are rather close!

Restitution has not yet been made for the two palaces, although Alexander liives in the Royal Palace, and pays for the upkeep of the Royal Palace and the Beli Dvor.

Marlene, I believe they are his now.

[Marlene]

When the resitution is made -- and the Serbian government has made little effort to move toward restitution of thousands of properties -- the Crown Prince will announce it.

All documentation that I have seen, and all conversations that I have had indicate that they are his.
By the way, I would say that the Crown Prince and the current President of Serbia are rather close!
