King Peter II of Yugoslavia was born on 6 September 1923 in Belgrade, Serbia, Yugoslavia. He was married to Princess Alexandra of Greece and Denmark. He died on 3 November 1970 in Denver, Colorado, USA.
Father of Crown Prince Alexander of Serbia, he became king at age 11 after the assassination of
his father, Alexander I. When he refused to ally with Adolf Hitler, Germany
invaded Yugoslavia, forcing Peter into exile; communists seized control
of the country after the War. On 4 March 2007, Alexander announced
plans to move his father's remains to Belgrade. He is the only foreign
monarch to be buried in the US.
