Their Royal Highnesses Crown Prince Alexander and Crown Princess Katherine were the guests of the St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Cathedral parish in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The visit and reception were arranged by Cathedral Dean, Very Rev. Dragan Veleusic, and prominent members of the Serbian community.
The purpose of the entire Royal Visit was to recognize the contributions of Serbian community leaders, as well as leading nonprofit organizations, such as Lifeline Chicago committed to organizing and supporting relief efforts that reduce and relieve the suffering of the most disadvantaged and underserved populations in Serbia.
The Royal Midwest Tour is managed by the Lifeline Humanitarian Organization – Chicago office, operating under the patronage of Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Katherine.
During their weeklong visit, Their Royal Highnesses were also received at St. Lazarus Serbian Orthodox Cathedral in Detroit, Michigan, and at the St. Sava Academy School and Holy Resurrection Serbian Orthodox Cathedral in Chicago. They will be the honored guests of the Serbian Bar Association of America on Thursday, also in Chicago.
On Friday, the Royal Couple will visit the museum at St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church in Merrillville, Indiana, and attend dinner with golfers and guests following the First Charity Golf Outing sponsored by Lifeline-Chicago. The event is designed to raise awareness and gain support for the ongoing medical and humanitarian needs of the Serbian people.
In Milwaukee, the Royal Couple toured the cathedral and surrounding grounds prior to a well-attended dinner reception inside the St. Sava Cultural Center.
