‘THIS YEAR WE’RE NOT GOING TO SEVILLE’
How will you celebrate your first New Year’s and Christmas as a family of four?
“This time of year we usually spend in Seville at Phillip’s mother’s and his brother Peter and his sisters’, enjoying a nice family time. However, this year, since Marija is still a baby, we’ll be spending the New Year’s at our home in Belgrade, where we’ll celebrate Christmas as well, with our family.”

BORN IN LUXURY, BUT AN EMBODIMENT OF MODESTY
For almost 140 years the direct line of succession has been waiting for a princess. What would you like her to inherit from Queen Maria, who you named her after?
“Queen Maria was born as a Romanian princess, and by marrying the chivalrous King Alexander I she won the hearts of the Serbian people and became a source of spiritual revitalization as well. The most beloved and most dignified Serbian queen, she was also the greatest benefactor in our history. The daughter of the Romanian king and queen, the granddaughter of the Russian Emperor Alexander III and the great-granddaughter of the British Queen Victoria, she was born in luxury, but she was an embodiment of modesty, love, goodness, humanity, bravery, and sacrifice. And these are some of the noble traits that I hold in high esteem and which I’d like for Marija and Stefan to have. This is why we decided for the baby to have the name of Queen Maria, also Phillip’s mother’s, Maria da Glória’s name.”

AN ARTIST TAKING AFTER HIS GRANDDAD CILE
Does Stefan show his artistic or his warrior’s streak, because he has both in his genes?
“Stefan is very creative and artistically oriented, which makes me happy. He has an ear for music, and likes to draw and paint, especially in Cile’s atelier, where he spends a lot of time. It is precisely his persistence and the artistic streak, which he has inherited from my father, that help him focus his energy on noble and good work, similar to how I was taught in my childhood about the importance of work habits. But I also learned about organizational skills from my mother Beba, who infused love, stability, and a pragmatic spirit into a great creative energy. And that is now imparted to Stefan, which is a great source of his stability and support.”
