The map of Yugoslavia you used is incorrect. Slovenia was a part of Yugoslavia. This is shameful for a news organization as powerful and respected as NBC.
I just do not understand how NBC, CNN and any other big American broadcast television fails so much to give any proper map of Yugoslavia or Balkans. How the hell you manage to forgot whole country (Slovenia) from this map? How you manage sometimes to mix Croatia and Serbia, Bosnia and Macedonia, Serbia and Syria, what is your problem, what kind of sources you use for your news articles?
Dear mister TheDukeGreat, we are so unimportant these days, and so razed by red terrorists that we can be grateful for some great individuals like Crown Prince Aleksandar II Karađorđević. He is the reason why anyone strong still talk about this part of the world. Do you maybe know where is "Sao Toma and Principe", or where are their borders???
@@marelli777 there are orthodox Serbs, afflicted Serbs, Catholic Serbs, and Serb sectaries. it is not the same to be worthy of kind and faith (Orthodox Serb) for the cost of life and anything else.

I'm reading comments below and see defects of Communist's terror and tyranny. Anyone who lives in Serbia today and really wants better life for us and our children must know that our traditional allies are on the same side of history like they were 75 years ago!!! We have to admit that we lost our path with satanic communist regime, we chose wrong side and we let those red plague to spread in King Aleksandar's I Yugoslavia! Serbia today, thanks to God and allies, has Crown Prince Aleksandar II, worldwide respected recognized and well known person, real leader and unifier who is above daily political issues. Only Crown can give us continuity with our honorable ancestors and an uncorrupted system and a sound basis for the return of the old glory and honor of our people and country! Kingdom of Serbia is the only correct and possible way if we want to be worthy of our ancestors and responsible to our descendants. Crown will unite us with our real allies and more important to unite all ideas and politics for wellbeing of Serbia and Serbs where ever they live. This is the hardest way, but the only correct and only possible way! With trust in God, for King and Country. In whole human history, progress never made majority, always minority!
@@SumadinacMilos80 "Satanic Communist Regime" 😂😂😂 okay.... Also, you want to fix your country by giving lots of taxes to some fat guy who has done nothing in his life except leach of his pretender status.

. well, yes and no, because the karadjorjeciv clan assassinated the obrenovic clan who were ruling before them and claimed to be the only ruling family
@@Purwapada No, they didn't.Serbian people killed king Aleksandar Obrenovic and his wife Draga because Aleksandar wanted to be friends with Austria-Hungary.
This isn't a "pretend royal family", it IS a royal family, just not officially so. When Crown Prince Alexander was born in London in the 1940's, Prime Minister Winston Churchill declared the hospital room that he was born in to be officially "part of Yugoslavia" for the day, so that he would technically be born in Yugoslavia, a prerequisite for inheriting the throne. At his Christening, his Godparents were King George VI of England and daughter Elizabeth, now Queen Elizabeth II. "Pretend" my foot.
all of you are so stupid. Pretenders doesn't mean: people that pretend to be royal but aren't. A pretender is an: "aspirant or claimant to a monarchy that either has been abolished or suspended, or is occupied by another." Charles Napoleon isn't emperor of France, Andrew Romanov isn't Tsar of Russia and Alexander Karađorđević isn't king of Serbia.
Made Yugoslavia, instead Great Serbia ( krajina do kosova ) was the end of the serbian nation, and royal masonic Karadjordjevic family was and is guilty, 100% , karadjordjevic was worst than jozip broz to the serbian nation, those 2 were the perpetrors of the annihilation of the serbian nation and big country.
Bro, you’re not making a very good argument for its legitimacy by mentioning that a foreign leader of government unilaterally made part of his territory a part of another country for *one day* just so Alexander could inherit the throne.
"For almost 2 centuries the Karađorđević dynasty ruled the kingdom of Yugoslavia" It's amazing for a family to rule 200 years over a country that existed for about 80 years
Our Royall familly are good people and help people of Serbia but our media are not show that to people because republic pollitics dont love OUR ROYALS! GOD BLESS ALL good people in world! LONG LIVE KINGDOM OF SERBIA!
they dont even know to speak serbian, random gypsi on street speak serbian better, last serbian king was petar and after him no one from hes family cant call himself a king
Because what??? Their people, who wants revolution and they forced their king to exilled. And the last king move to London. There, they grow up, so yeah of course they don't speak serbian. It's all because their close minded people who influenced by the politics! Shameee

@@HunterShows, the lexicographers who compile the Oxford English Dictionary are not illiterate. The plural of the singular noun "royal" is "royals". The collective noun is "royalty". Just as we have "Jew", "Jews" and "Jewry".
Catchy title but they are no more "pretend" than any other monarch with no or limited constitutional power. Besides a strong historical and symbolic influence, our royal couple has done much for their country - especially Princess Katherine, who selflessly accomplished dozens of humanitarian projects so far. I have organized a few myself, and I know how much heart, effort and time has to go into each one of them. She deserves a huge thank you from our people. As for my countrymen who think that the Prince should speak better Serbian, I can only say, language affinity is a very personal matter, and I find of much more importance the fact that he is a well-connected, educated, decent positive force for Serbia in times when Serbia needs as much of it as possible to keep the delicate balance when facing its own challenges against the framework of fragile World peace & politics.
Kind of wrong on multiple accounts here. While there is little legitimacy of government in royalty to begin with, his claim to the "Throne" is a rather disputed one. Post Ottoman Serbia really only had political actors that used the title of king. His claim is no greater than that of an Obrenovic. Now a claim of being humane is completely asinine here. In 2015 the royal residence alone cost 34 Million RSD. 34 Million out of taxpayer money. Your money. They are a pointless drain on an already stained economy with questionable and potentially fraudulent income. Katarina does not donate to charity. She, with no elected legitimacy or authorization appropriates Serbian taxpayer money in order to fuel a populist lifestyle presentation. We need to make this abundantly clear. They are awarded our money, money that could be spent fixing roads, hospitals etc, and simply direct the funds to where they choose. Exempt from taxes or the rule of law. As all monarchs do. Monarchies are evil, there is no god given right of Sovereignty. A government is legitimized only by the will of the people. This is just robbery.
I think this is awesome. As a Swede, I am proud of living in a country that is still a monarchy even though Sweden has sadly been declining in many ways throughout tha last decade. A few months ago we had a parliament crisis but it did not stir things up much, because we are a monarchy, the King is always head of state regardeless of the whim of politicians and voters. Long live the King! Живео краљ Србије!
@black human I guess for me it is a religious matter, ”King by God’s grace” and all that - that God gave us a king back in the day and we should stand by him, whereas modern political leaders are elected by people, by humans, and as we all know, errare est humanum. That is my reason to be a Royalist, I don’t know about general arguments in the matter, for me it is a religious question.
@black human On this point I think we disagree, however, that is ok. People will always differ in their opinions and that is one of the reasons why I dislike politics. However, we are all entitled to our opinion. Have a nice day!

The fact you call them "pretend monarchs or royals" is not correct. They are not pretending to be royals because they are royals. They are related to Queen Elizabeth II by way of Queen Victoria. So they're not "pretending to be royals" cause technically they are also part of the House of Windsor. And, Queen Elizabeth II is his god mother as well as cousin. And your map of Yugoslavia is not correct. Might want to make sure you include Slovenia next time. Before it was Yugoslavia it had a different name and Slovenia was literally in that name.

Well damn, Im glad this many people still believe in the Serbian monarchy! And good to see that young people aswell. May God be with Serbians and good luck in their path towards the restoration of the kingdom. If only the monarchy had so much support here in Bohemia (the Czech Republic) aswell.

We truthfully need more monarchies back. And strangely enough, there is quite a bit of support for returns of monarchies in many countries, for am example, in Germany, 2 out of 5 people want to restore the Kaiserreich, which is actually quite a bit of people.

You my have well have said that Princes Charles and William are the "pretend royal family of the UK." Prince Aleksandar was the heir to the Yugoslavian throne (country which was divided following the war of the 90's). His father (King Petar 2) did not abdicate from the throne - Tito abolished the monarchy and formally deposed King Petar 2. This was done without any referendum and as previously stated the King refused to abdicate. Churchill designated Suite 212 at Claridge's Hotel, London Yugoslav territory for the day so that Prince Aleksandar could retain his right to that same throne. As with many European households after WW2 when the communists took over, these people were thrown out of their countries along with thousands of men who were for King and country (as was the case in Serbia). The journalist who wrote this article should undertake more investigative work before commenting.
yeah the dude is the cousin or something to Prince Charles lol. And worked with the guy in the UK Military. These journalists need deported to North Korea.. Go Do Journalism in Labor Camp...
The funny thing is that the Serbian "prince" doesn't even properly speak Serbian, nor does the princess. But he represents the people of Serbia, right? Lol

Crown Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia (officially in Serbia as Aleksandar Karađorđević) was born and raised in London. His second wife Katherine (née Katherine Clairy Batis) was born in Greece. After Peter II of Yugoslavia (Alexander's father) was deposed by Yugoslavia's Communist Constituent Assembly, he settled in the United States and died in Denver, Colorado. he was interred in Saint Sava Monastery Church at Libertyville, Illinois, the only European monarch so far to have been buried in the United States. In 2013, Peter's remains were returned to Belgrade, Serbia and buried in the Royal Family Mausoleum at Oplenac.
Lol yourself. There have been numerous instances in history where kings or queens didn't speak the language of their people. William III of England spoke Dutch. The last Tsarina of Russia, Alexandra, spoke German and had to learn Russian. There's more to loving and representing a nation via historical continuity and symbolic traditions than "language", which can in time be learned, something that many Serbians will agree on.
Ah......Nekic? 1. The royal family didn't betray their country in 1941 by "escaping" it, as they were essentially kicked out, FORCED INTO EXILE by the Communists, as were other royal families in Europe. Prior to this, as you know, King Alexander was assassinated, and Prince Paul was appointed regent for the 11 year old, King Peter II. Paul tried to restore elements of democracy to Yugoslavia that King Alexander had removed. He was later pressured into signing a compact with Hitler that put Yugoslavia in the Axis powers sphere, so in this sense, HE betrayed his people, yet he was never tried for war crimes by the Allies, and he was later rehabilitated by the government at Belgrade. Even British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed an agreement with Hitler and Mussolini, allowing Hitler to take parts of Czechoslovakia, with the promise that Germany wouldn't attack Great Britain. Easy for us to look back and criticize, but we might have acted the same way then if faced with the same dilemmas 2. The present heir to the throne, Crown Prince Alexander, didn't "betray his country" because wasn't even born then. 3. The Serbian royal family moved from London back to royal palace in Belgrade in 2001, SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO. You didn't know that, yet you claim to be knowledgable about Serbians?
Very propaganda like, belittling video using low class lingo, like "kicked out," "the man who would be king," "Great Serbia," (Which is a very little country), etc. The father and grandfather of Alexander Karageorgievich have never been crowned so Alexander II cannot be, and is not even willing, to be the king. Alexander II is Prince of Serbia and distant relative of King Charles. While serving as a UK military officer, Alexander II has publicly declared that he does not claim any rights to the throne of, Yugoslavia, and now Serbia. The palace he resides in now, was purchased by his grandfather Alexander I, so Alexander II has all rights to own the palace, that was confiscated by the totalitarian communist regime of Tito. It is not clear, what is so funny or amusing, in saying that the state still denies that property to its rightful owner! This video is one scholarly example of the subtle propaganda that NBC pushes in all semantic directions!
The governmental infrastructure is already in place for a restoration into a constitutional monarchy like Britain or Norway my question is will they return as the royal house of Serbia or Yugoslavia.
His father drank himself to death. He was initially buried in a small church in the northern suburbs of Illinois. I am a catholic and I would stop by the church and pay respects. His body was eventually moved to Serbia.
Tehnically, yeah. From 1910 to 1918,it was an independent kingdom, that gained independence the same year as Serbia and Romania (1878).after ww1, montenegro united with the kingdom of serbs, croats and slovenes (later the kingdom of Yougoslavia). In 2006,Montenegro voted to be an indepenent country, and they did.
Monarchy is mostly unaccepted because the king isnt speaking fluently Serbian, while he is speaking fluent English, that is why Serbs don't want their King to be a part of the country. But however support constitutional monarchy so he could control our "one party" political system.
@@Dunsapie bruh, it has nothing to do with video, of course they will speak English in English video, but in reality who would want king who doesn't know language of his country.

Furthermore what was found in his secret safe opened (after 30 years) by the National Bank of Serbia ??? This included money (in different foreign currencies), diamonds, jewels and property belonging to the Karadjordjevic family - whilst his wife Jovanka lived the end of her life in abject poverty. Little wonder his family are protesting - they do not want the truth to be known. I am sorry he died before Yugoslavia broke up and question what his body is still doing in BG. He should have been left to suffer in the mess he created and his body returned to Croatia where he belongs.
@@lordofthephoenix1609 I was born and brought up abroad and we have a different view of who and what he was. I had an uncle (married to my aunt) from Zagreb and a brother in law (my cousin's husband) who was from Dubrovnik. Both of these wonderful gentlemen spoke Serbo-Croatian quite normally, as we all did. The "story" of Tito's early days is just a fable and listening to him speak it is evident that he struggles with the Serbo-Croatian language even allowing for different dialects. I don't know from which part of the former Yugoslavia you hail from but Tito killed, jailed or confiscated property from Serbs and the damage to Serbia started during his reign of terror.
@@susansmith6737 you are telling me Vucic and milosevic and his gang is better than Tito. When we were Jugoslavie living standards were far better, we werre respected internationally, and he did not oppress people. Sure my family was high up in his government (in the presidium) but thats cuz my great grandfather and great grandmother were partisans who fought for our freedom, they only did what was best for the people. You cannot act like we mass executed people like in the ussr, there was one camp, and even then it was small and only for extreme nationalists.
@@lordofthephoenix1609 I am certainly not saying that! The leaders of today's Serbia were born in and brought up during Tito's totalitarian reign. Unlike your ancestors - my family were from BG which was known as the centre of Serb activity before WW2. After the war my father was forced to leave his homeland as he was in the King's Army. My grandfather's had factories, real estate and land confiscated by the communist government. Reputable and rich households, industrialists and intellectuals (in fact anyone who was a threat to the communist regime) were killed. Tito's regime resulted in the death of 500,000 people (mostly Serbs) as critics and ideological opponents were liquidated. Those who were left were fed lies which they believed, history was rewritten and the "wonderful standards of living" were funded by foreign bank loans organised by Tito to pay for his lavish lifestyle (for which todays Serbia is still paying - I believe over 80 million euros was repaid only last year).So the Royals may not speak perfect Serbian but they are in their rightful place. What I don't understand is why young Serbs don't insist that Tito's body be removed from BG and returned back to where it came from.......wherever that is ???????
One of the other princes, Alex, worked at "Escape from New York Pizza" in San Francisco. I saw him all the time. He speaks American English with no accent.
Simple mathematics -let me explain....... Yugoslavia formed in 1918 and Tito and his communist party deposed the King in 1945 and declared Yugoslavia a Republic. 1918 - 1945 = 27 years so the Karadjordjevic family rules for nearly 30 years or 3 decades (each decade being 10 years).
I fully support monarchy. But I detest aristocracy. Czar Nicholas II tried to introduce many reforms into the Russian Empire that were very similar to Nordic Socialism, today. But the greedy aristocracy thwarted all such reforms. And we know what happened. A monarchy devoid of hanger-on aristocracy is the best idea. Serbia can do that, today.
This is very well done! The Kingdom is the best course for the Serbian people to restore and retain their long historic culture. The only way that Serbia will ever take back its Christian Orthodox holy land of Kosovo and Metohija is with the valid claim of their King and Kingdom. It would be reinstated as a constitutional monarchy much like The United Kingdom. Unfortunately the Serbian people have been through hell and simply have an aversion to any deviation from the status quo. However there is no better way to solidify the country and to protect the country from being colonized by a foreign power.
Oplenac is the mausoleum of the Karađorđević dynasty See also: List of Serbian monarchs and List of heads of state of Yugoslavia Prince Alexander with his second wife, Princess Katherine. See also: Kingdom of Serbia and Kingdom of Yugoslavia
They are not pretenders tho pretender is someone who claims a title that isn't theirs. Historically, Serbia's Karadjordjevic dynasty does have a claim to not just Serbia, but entire Yugoslavia (today Croaria, Bosnia, Montenegro, Macedonia and Slovenia)
You are out of date when it comes to history - this was propaganda created by the communist party. It would be better if you found out how much Tito borrowed from foreign Bank's and which Serbia is still paying for to this day. Also read up about the secret safe Tito held in the National Bank of Serbia - how much was stashed there (some of it property of the Karadjordjevic family).
They are trying to reclaim it as it was all confiscated by Tito. The communists also took land, businesses and real estate from ordinary people living in Yugoslavia
Lol..if "he" representing the "the people" why he doesn't truly help people in need , schools, infrastructure ect...might need " connection " attending lavish dinners but roll your sleeves and truly show you care!!! I think the whole world is upside down!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well they are not “King and Queen “ of Yugoslavia anymore. Serbia is the only one country who has king since Yugoslavia broke up. They do not rule Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia Macedonia, Montenegro and Kosovo anymore.
These are professional spin masters so you need to actively listen to what they are saying as well as what they are inferring. You will pick up on the fact that the entire piece was carefully crafted to gently nuge the viewer toward one central idea or theme. For instance the creators of this video ( I wouldn't call it news or journalism) clearly want the viewer to look at this Royal family and monarchies in general as a joke or a farce and not to be taken seriously. At the beginning of the video she eludes to and tries to get the audience to assume that in the 40s when the Monarchy was overthrown and exiled from their kingdom it was a good thing, like it was some grass roots revolution for the people, by the people. Later we learn that it wasn't a revolution as much as a strategic power grab by Russian backed communists that kicked the Royal family out. It wasn't a good thing for the country and ended up weakening the country and furthering inequality.
They can't help it - they were force fed a rewritten history and a Tito lead propaganda machine which discredited the Royal family and tried to kill off anything relating to Serbs or orthodoxy. Many are uneducated despite receiving a state education and don't bother to read the world press and what really happened in Yugoslavia after WW2. They are to be pitied !!

Only Crown can give us continuity with our honorable ancestors and an uncorrupted system and a sound basis for the return of the old glory and honor of our people and country! Kingdom of Serbia is the only correct and possible way if we want to be worthy of our ancestors and responsible to our descendants. Crown will unite us with our real allies and more important to unite all ideas and politics for wellbeing of Serbia and Serbs where ever they live.

This isn't a "pretend royal family", it IS a royal family, just not officially so. When Crown Prince Alexander was born in London in the 1940's, Prime Minister Winston Churchill declared the hospital room that he was born in to be officially "part of Yugoslavia" for the day, so that he would technically be born in Yugoslavia, a prerequisite for inheriting the throne. At his Christening, his Godparents were King George VI of England and daughter Elizabeth, now Queen Elizabeth II. "Pretend" my foot.
I mean you shouldnt expect good journalism about monarchism from some leftist students
yeah, they are a royal family, just not a ruling one
all of you are so stupid. Pretenders doesn't mean: people that pretend to be royal but aren't. A pretender is an: "aspirant or claimant to a monarchy that either has been abolished or suspended, or is occupied by another."
Charles Napoleon isn't emperor of France, Andrew Romanov isn't Tsar of Russia and Alexander Karađorđević isn't king of Serbia.
Made Yugoslavia, instead Great Serbia ( krajina do kosova ) was the end of the serbian nation, and royal masonic Karadjordjevic family was and is guilty, 100% , karadjordjevic was worst than jozip broz to the serbian nation, those 2 were the perpetrors of the annihilation of the serbian nation and big country.
Bro, you’re not making a very good argument for its legitimacy by mentioning that a foreign leader of government unilaterally made part of his territory a part of another country for *one day* just so Alexander could inherit the throne.
Negative presentation, negative take on the Serbian Royals as well as Serbia. Inaccurate and unprofessional. Overall Anti Serbian broadcast.
"For almost 2 centuries the Karađorđević dynasty ruled the kingdom of Yugoslavia" It's amazing for a family to rule 200 years over a country that existed for about 80 years

@@elgee6202 No. Glad we had this discussion.
Catchy title but they are no more "pretend" than any other monarch with no or limited constitutional power. Besides a strong historical and symbolic influence, our royal couple has done much for their country - especially Princess Katherine, who selflessly accomplished dozens of humanitarian projects so far. I have organized a few myself, and I know how much heart, effort and time has to go into each one of them. She deserves a huge thank you from our people. As for my countrymen who think that the Prince should speak better Serbian, I can only say, language affinity is a very personal matter, and I find of much more importance the fact that he is a well-connected, educated, decent positive force for Serbia in times when Serbia needs as much of it as possible to keep the delicate balance when facing its own challenges against the framework of fragile World peace & politics.
Tatjana C. They are still “pretenders” as Serbia is not a monarchy. Look up the term.
King is king by blood only, which language he speaks is irrelevant.
Kind of wrong on multiple accounts here. While there is little legitimacy of government in royalty to begin with, his claim to the "Throne" is a rather disputed one. Post Ottoman Serbia really only had political actors that used the title of king. His claim is no greater than that of an Obrenovic. Now a claim of being humane is completely asinine here. In 2015 the royal residence alone cost 34 Million RSD. 34 Million out of taxpayer money. Your money. They are a pointless drain on an already stained economy with questionable and potentially fraudulent income. Katarina does not donate to charity. She, with no elected legitimacy or authorization appropriates Serbian taxpayer money in order to fuel a populist lifestyle presentation. We need to make this abundantly clear. They are awarded our money, money that could be spent fixing roads, hospitals etc, and simply direct the funds to where they choose. Exempt from taxes or the rule of law. As all monarchs do. Monarchies are evil, there is no god given right of Sovereignty. A government is legitimized only by the will of the people. This is just robbery.
You support a monarch who cannot even speak the mother tongue of their supposed kingdom. Do you understand how absurd that is?
Not absurd at all - Royal households throughout history had marriages arranged with members of Royal households from other countries.
I think this is awesome. As a Swede, I am proud of living in a country that is still a monarchy even though Sweden has sadly been declining in many ways throughout tha last decade. A few months ago we had a parliament crisis but it did not stir things up much, because we are a monarchy, the King is always head of state regardeless of the whim of politicians and voters. Long live the King!
Живео краљ Србије!
@black human I guess for me it is a religious matter, ”King by God’s grace” and all that - that God gave us a king back in the day and we should stand by him, whereas modern political leaders are elected by people, by humans, and as we all know, errare est humanum. That is my reason to be a Royalist, I don’t know about general arguments in the matter, for me it is a religious question.
@black human On this point I think we disagree, however, that is ok. People will always differ in their opinions and that is one of the reasons why I dislike politics. However, we are all entitled to our opinion. Have a nice day!

The fact you call them "pretend monarchs or royals" is not correct. They are not pretending to be royals because they are royals. They are related to Queen Elizabeth II by way of Queen Victoria. So they're not "pretending to be royals" cause technically they are also part of the House of Windsor. And, Queen Elizabeth II is his god mother as well as cousin. And your map of Yugoslavia is not correct. Might want to make sure you include Slovenia next time. Before it was Yugoslavia it had a different name and Slovenia was literally in that name.

You my have well have said that Princes Charles and William are the "pretend royal family of the UK." Prince Aleksandar was the heir to the Yugoslavian throne (country which was divided following the war of the 90's). His father (King Petar 2) did not abdicate from the throne - Tito abolished the monarchy and formally deposed King Petar 2. This was done without any referendum and as previously stated the King refused to abdicate.
Churchill designated Suite 212 at Claridge's Hotel, London Yugoslav territory for the day so that Prince Aleksandar could retain his right to that same throne. As with many European households after WW2 when the communists took over, these people were thrown out of their countries along with thousands of men who were for King and country (as was the case in Serbia). The journalist who wrote this article should undertake more investigative work before commenting.

Crown Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia (officially in Serbia as Aleksandar Karađorđević) was born and raised in London. His second wife Katherine (née Katherine Clairy Batis) was born in Greece. After Peter II of Yugoslavia (Alexander's father) was deposed by Yugoslavia's Communist Constituent Assembly, he settled in the United States and died in Denver, Colorado. he was interred in Saint Sava Monastery Church at Libertyville, Illinois, the only European monarch so far to have been buried in the United States. In 2013, Peter's remains were returned to Belgrade, Serbia and buried in the Royal Family Mausoleum at Oplenac.
Lol yourself. There have been numerous instances in history where kings or queens didn't speak the language of their people. William III of England spoke Dutch. The last Tsarina of Russia, Alexandra, spoke German and had to learn Russian. There's more to loving and representing a nation via historical continuity and symbolic traditions than "language", which can in time be learned, something that many Serbians will agree on.
Ah......Nekic?
1. The royal family didn't betray their country in 1941 by "escaping" it, as they were essentially kicked out, FORCED INTO EXILE by the Communists, as were other royal families in Europe. Prior to this, as you know, King Alexander was assassinated, and Prince Paul was appointed regent for the 11 year old, King Peter II. Paul tried to restore elements of democracy to Yugoslavia that King Alexander had removed. He was later pressured into signing a compact with Hitler that put Yugoslavia in the Axis powers sphere, so in this sense, HE betrayed his people, yet he was never tried for war crimes by the Allies, and he was later rehabilitated by the government at Belgrade. Even British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed an agreement with Hitler and Mussolini, allowing Hitler to take parts of Czechoslovakia, with the promise that Germany wouldn't attack Great Britain. Easy for us to look back and criticize, but we might have acted the same way then if faced with the same dilemmas
2. The present heir to the throne, Crown Prince Alexander, didn't "betray his country" because wasn't even born then.
3. The Serbian royal family moved from London back to royal palace in Belgrade in 2001, SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO. You didn't know that, yet you claim to be knowledgable about Serbians?
Very propaganda like, belittling video using low class lingo, like "kicked out," "the man who would be king," "Great Serbia," (Which is a very little country), etc.
The father and grandfather of Alexander Karageorgievich have never been crowned so Alexander II cannot be, and is not even willing, to be the king. Alexander II is Prince of Serbia and distant relative of King Charles. While serving as a UK military officer, Alexander II has publicly declared that he does not claim any rights to the throne of, Yugoslavia, and now Serbia.
The palace he resides in now, was purchased by his grandfather Alexander I, so Alexander II has all rights to own the palace, that was confiscated by the totalitarian communist regime of Tito. It is not clear, what is so funny or amusing, in saying that the state still denies that property to its rightful owner!
This video is one scholarly example of the subtle propaganda that NBC pushes in all semantic directions!
what do you mean "pretend", they are a royal family, just not a ruling one, and there isn't a debate, he isn't a monarch, we are a republic .

I am sorry he died before Yugoslavia broke up and question what his body is still doing in BG. He should have been left to suffer in the mess he created and his body returned to Croatia where he belongs.
He barely even knows how to speak Serbian, so how can he rule a country whose language he can't even speak?
Tito didn't speak Serbo-Croatian - so what ??????????
@@susansmith6737 he did. He’s literally Croatian
@@lordofthephoenix1609 I was born and brought up abroad and we have a different view of who and what he was. I had an uncle (married to my aunt) from Zagreb and a brother in law (my cousin's husband) who was from Dubrovnik. Both of these wonderful gentlemen spoke Serbo-Croatian quite normally, as we all did. The "story" of Tito's early days is just a fable and listening to him speak it is evident that he struggles with the Serbo-Croatian language even allowing for different dialects. I don't know from which part of the former Yugoslavia you hail from but Tito killed, jailed or confiscated property from Serbs and the damage to Serbia started during his reign of terror.
@@susansmith6737 you are telling me Vucic and milosevic and his gang is better than Tito. When we were Jugoslavie living standards were far better, we werre respected internationally, and he did not oppress people. Sure my family was high up in his government (in the presidium) but thats cuz my great grandfather and great grandmother were partisans who fought for our freedom, they only did what was best for the people. You cannot act like we mass executed people like in the ussr, there was one camp, and even then it was small and only for extreme nationalists.
@@lordofthephoenix1609 I am certainly not saying that! The leaders of today's Serbia were born in and brought up during Tito's totalitarian reign. Unlike your ancestors - my family were from BG which was known as the centre of Serb activity before WW2. After the war my father was forced to leave his homeland as he was in the King's Army. My grandfather's had factories, real estate and land confiscated by the communist government. Reputable and rich households, industrialists and intellectuals (in fact anyone who was a threat to the communist regime) were killed. Tito's regime resulted in the death of 500,000 people (mostly Serbs) as critics and ideological opponents were liquidated. Those who were left were fed lies which they believed, history was rewritten and the "wonderful standards of living" were funded by foreign bank loans organised by Tito to pay for his lavish lifestyle (for which todays Serbia is still paying - I believe over 80 million euros was repaid only last year).So the Royals may not speak perfect Serbian but they are in their rightful place. What I don't understand is why young Serbs don't insist that Tito's body be removed from BG and returned back to where it came from.......wherever that is ???????
The map of Jugoslavija and modern Serbia are wrong, kosovo is a part of Serbia, atleast mark it as disputed territory.
Monarchies are no longer relevant. I mean what exactly do they do?
They run away when trouble comes
Katie Engelhart is a fantastic journalist who presents information in such an impactful manner. Well done, NBC Left Field!
Thank you for watching, Ryan!
guessing you aren't an objective party - you know Katie from somewhere, right?
wrooong she do terible job here atleast she maybe check maps properly
This video was full of historic mistakes
Kind of disrespectful, better-than-everybody-else attitude, don't you think so?
One of the other princes, Alex, worked at "Escape from New York Pizza" in San Francisco. I saw him all the time.
He speaks American English with no accent.
Gof punish our government for interfering where it wasn't wanted nor useful.
THE DEPOSAL IS ILLEGITIME!
The royal family was also illegitimate since they killed the last one
How can you say they ruled Yugoslavia for two decades when the country lasted less than a decade.
Simple mathematics -let me explain....... Yugoslavia formed in 1918 and Tito and his communist party deposed the King in 1945 and declared Yugoslavia a Republic. 1918 - 1945 = 27 years so the Karadjordjevic family rules for nearly 30 years or 3 decades (each decade being 10 years).
Komunisti i njihova deca - srpska tragedija. O pismenosti, da ne pričam.
good video but the map was wrong for the kingdom, at that time Istra was part of Italy before liberation.
they are not Pretending. they are Pretenders
I fully support monarchy. But I detest aristocracy. Czar Nicholas II tried to introduce many reforms into the Russian Empire that were very similar to Nordic Socialism, today. But the greedy aristocracy thwarted all such reforms. And we know what happened. A monarchy devoid of hanger-on aristocracy is the best idea. Serbia can do that, today.
Look how the communist Tito destroyed Yugoslavia in pursuit of personal gratification and high living.
He should learn Serbian first
Shame on you. Two years - enemy of the people??? How sick government can be??? And you write that's same government propaganda?!? Wake up!
Why ????? Tito didn't speak Serbo-Croatian and ruled the country (badly) for too many years.
This is very well done! The Kingdom is the best course for the Serbian people to restore and retain their long historic culture. The only way that Serbia will ever take back its Christian Orthodox holy land of Kosovo and Metohija is with the valid claim of their King and Kingdom. It would be reinstated as a constitutional monarchy much like The United Kingdom. Unfortunately the Serbian people have been through hell and simply have an aversion to any deviation from the status quo. However there is no better way to solidify the country and to protect the country from being colonized by a foreign power.
❤❤❤
Živio kralj !
How you lie..! The king was not kicked out of Yugoslavia, but cowardly ran away and abandoned his people!
SRBIJA GREAT AGAIN WITH PRINCE ALEKSANDAR KARADJORDJEVIC!!!!!!!!!!!
They have no kids so even if the were official it would end with them
They're monarchs not pretending to be
Slovenia was in Yugoslavia too
British royal Serbs better name.. 😂
Poor journalism
Oplenac is the mausoleum of the Karađorđević dynasty

Yes, restore Yugoslavian monarchy!
That cannot happened.
They are not pretenders tho pretender is someone who claims a title that isn't theirs. Historically, Serbia's Karadjordjevic dynasty does have a claim to not just Serbia, but entire Yugoslavia (today Croaria, Bosnia, Montenegro, Macedonia and Slovenia)
The map is messed up. Slovenia was in Yugoslavia and Kosovo was never a country. I mean, at least that didn't change.
Slovenia gained independence, so did Kosovo in 2008
And Serbia DOES not control Kosovo.
@@auroradili-hiller696 oh yeah, I have wings too
@@VukLazarevic y mad
@@auroradili-hiller696 no, I was trying to be delusional like you hahaha
Nobody kicked them, they escaped and also took all of serbian gold with them its probably now in some american uk or swiss safe
You are out of date when it comes to history - this was propaganda created by the communist party. It would be better if you found out how much Tito borrowed from foreign Bank's and which Serbia is still paying for to this day. Also read up about the secret safe Tito held in the National Bank of Serbia - how much was stashed there (some of it property of the Karadjordjevic family).
Its intereting to know that both uk royals and serbian royals have the same blood
Welp he don't want to pay taxes so country has to pay for that
They never gave up all real estate in Yugoslavia.
They are trying to reclaim it as it was all confiscated by Tito. The communists also took land, businesses and real estate from ordinary people living in Yugoslavia
Lol..if "he" representing the "the people" why he doesn't truly help people in need , schools, infrastructure ect...might need " connection " attending lavish dinners but roll your sleeves and truly show you care!!! I think the whole world is upside down!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Get your facts right. The Karadjordjevic family do a lot of humanitarian work and fund raising for Serbia.
5:35 Now it's over 40 percent. Maybe even more
NBC the huge mistake with map... Shame
Not just the map - terrible reportage 🤮
Well they are not “King and Queen “ of Yugoslavia anymore. Serbia is the only one country who has king since Yugoslavia broke up. They do not rule Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia Macedonia, Montenegro and Kosovo anymore.
Kosovo isn’t real
They took all the state gold with them when the fled Serbia. Never returned anything.
These are professional spin masters so you need to actively listen to what they are saying as well as what they are inferring. You will pick up on the fact that the entire piece was carefully crafted to gently nuge the viewer toward one central idea or theme. For instance the creators of this video ( I wouldn't call it news or journalism) clearly want the viewer to look at this Royal family and monarchies in general as a joke or a farce and not to be taken seriously. At the beginning of the video she eludes to and tries to get the audience to assume that in the 40s when the Monarchy was overthrown and exiled from their kingdom it was a good thing, like it was some grass roots revolution for the people, by the people. Later we learn that it wasn't a revolution as much as a strategic power grab by Russian backed communists that kicked the Royal family out. It wasn't a good thing for the country and ended up weakening the country and furthering inequality.
Nas lepi princ od 100 godina
Long Live the Royal Family of Serbia.
Wow, I knew there were a lot of idiots in my country but this... this is just amazing.
They can't help it - they were force fed a rewritten history and a Tito lead propaganda machine which discredited the Royal family and tried to kill off anything relating to Serbs or orthodoxy. Many are uneducated despite receiving a state education and don't bother to read the world press and what really happened in Yugoslavia after WW2. They are to be pitied !!
That also means reinstating Yugoslavia which would go very, very 😞😞😞😞
