Alexander, Crown Prince of Yugoslavia, also named Alexander II Karađorđević (; born 17 July 1945), was the last heir apparent to the throne of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia before its abolition by the communists, and is the current pretender to the defunct throne of Serbia. He is the head of the House of Karađorđević. Alexander is the only child of former King Peter II and his wife, Alexandra of Greece. He legally held the title “Crown Prince Aleksandar” in the Democratic Federal Yugoslavia for the first four-and-a-half months of his life, from 17 July 1945 (his birth) until his father's deposition by the Communist Parliament of Yugoslavia in late November of the same year. Born and raised in the United Kingdom, he is known for his relationship with the British royal family, his support of monarchism, and his humanitarian work. His godfather was King George VI and his godmother is Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. ==Status at birth== As with many other European monarchs during World War II, King Peter II left his country to establish a government-in-exile.〔Louda; Maclagan (1981), p. 296〕 He left Yugoslavia in April 1941 and arrived in London in June 1941. The Royal Yugoslav Armed Forces capitulated. After the Tehran Conference, the Allies shifted support from royalist Chetniks to communist Partisans.〔Fenyvesi (1981), p. 211〕 Commenting on the event and what happened to his father, Crown Prince Alexander said, “He (II ) was too straight. He could not believe that his allies –- the mighty American democracy and his relatives and friends in London –- could do him in. But that's precisely what happened.”〔Fenyvesi (1981), p. 212〕 In June 1944 Ivan Šubašić, the Royalist prime minister, and Josip Broz Tito, the Partisan leader, signed an agreement that was an attempt to merge the royal government and communist movement. On 29 November 1943, AVNOJ (formed by the Partisans) declared themselves the sovereign communist government of Yugoslavia and announced that they would take away all legal rights from the Royal government. On 10 August 1945, less than a month after Karađorđević's birth, AVNOJ named the country Democratic Federal Yugoslavia. On 29 November 1945, the country was declared a republic and changed its name to People's Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.〔Fenyvesi (1981), p. 215〕 In 1947, Alexander's whole family except for his grand-uncle Prince George, was deprived of Yugoslavian citizenship〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The decree on stripping the Karađorđević family of citizenship (translation) )〕 and their property was confiscated.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The royal family was stripped off their property (translation) )〕 As of 8 July 2015 the High Court in Belgrade rendered the decision that decree nr. 392 depriving King Alexander and members of the House of Karađorđević, issued by the Presidency of the Presidium of the National Assembly of the FPRY of 3 August 1947, is null and void from the moment of its adoption, in the parts pertaining to HRH Crown Prince Alexander, and all legal consequences thereof are null and void.〔(Rehabilitation of Crown Prince Alexander )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alexander, Crown Prince of Yugoslavia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
