The Royal Family of Serbia is proudly welcoming a new member of the Karadjordjevic dynasty – HRH Princess Dr Vesna, the wife of HRH Prince Alexander, gave birth to a son Marko Aleksandar, in Belgrade on 13 October in the afternoon. Both the mother and the baby are doing well. The name that the parents have chosen is symbolic, as it honours both grandfathers of the youngest Karadjordjevic.
Honouring the tradition and the family rules of the Royal House of Karadjordjevic, HRH Crown Prince Alexander is announcing the birth and the title that he has given to his grandson. “With great happiness and joy, my wife and I and the entire Royal family of Serbia are celebrating most joyous news, that my son, HRH Prince Alexander, and daughter-in-law, HRH Princess Vesna, became the parents of a beautiful baby boy, who we are wholeheartedly welcoming in our family – His Royal Highness Prince Marko Aleksandar, my dear grandson.
Each childbirth brings joy, but knowing that Karadjordjevics are again being born in our homeland, it is what brings special happiness to my heart. It is what I had dreamt of for so long; it is hard even to imagine it actually happening. With sincere congratulations and wishes to the parents for good health and happiness, I am sharing my great joy of becoming a proud grandfather once again!”, stated HRH Crown Prince Alexander.
The parents, TRH Prince Alexander and Princess Dr Vesna, warmly thank everyone for their congratulations, emphasising that they are truly blessed and happy on this joyous occasion, when they left the maternity ward and took their baby home. As they start one of the most important chapters of their lives, with their newborn baby as one of the greatest gifts a person could ever receive, Their Royal Highnesses will in the future period focus primarily on their family life and private obligations of raising a baby.
We all wish the parents and the baby that the immeasurable love they feel and share guide them on this beautiful, but also very responsible journey.
Their Royal Highnesses are very grateful to doctors Natasa and Nenad Zlataric and the entire team of the Euromedik hospital for their commitment, great dedication, and care during the entire period of pregnancy and the childbirth itself. As the Prince and Princess said, the staff of the hospital was so professional and wonderful, and cared so well for the mother and the baby, that, although they could hardly wait to bring the baby home, it was hard to leave.
