Prince Andrew of Yugoslavia (Serbian Cyrillic: Андреј Карађорђевић; 28 June 1929 – 7 May 1990) was born in Bled, Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, subsequently Kingdom of Yugoslavia, now Slovenia. He was the third son of King Alexander I of Yugoslavia (1888–1934) and Maria of Yugoslavia (1900–1961), the second daughter of King Ferdinand of Romania (1865–1927) and Marie of Edinburgh (1875–1938).

Exile

After the fall of the monarchy in Yugoslavia, he went into exile in London, where, after graduating in mathematics from Clare College, Cambridge University, he became an insurance broker.

Marriages and Issue

On 1 August 1956, he married his third cousin-once-removed Princess Christina Margarethe of Hesse (10 January 1933 - 21 November 2011), in Kronberg im Taunus, Germany. She was the daughter of Prince Christoph of Hesse and his wife Princess Sophie of Greece and Denmark, by side of her mother is the niece of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. They had two children:

  • Princess Maria Tatiana ("Tania") (born 18 July 1957).[1]
  • Prince Christopher (4 February 1960 – 14 May 1994), a science teacher who died in a bicycle accident; and

The couple divorced in London in 1962.

On 18 September 1963, he married his third cousin Princess Kira of Leiningen (18 July 1930 – 24 September 2005), daughter of Karl, Prince of Leiningen and Grand Duchess Maria Kirillovna of Russia.

The couple had three children:

  • Prince Karl Vladimir Cyril Andrej (born 11 March 1964);
  • Prince Dimitri Ivan Mihailo (born 21 April 1965); and
  • Lavinia Maria (b. 18 October 1961); born while her father was still married to Christina of Hesse (thus making it necessary for him to adopt her legally on 15 February 1965, after marrying her mother).[2][1]

They were divorced on 10 July 1972.[1]

Andrej married thirdly Eva Maria Andjelkovich (born 26 August 1926 in Serbia) on 30 March 1974 in Palm Springs, California, USA.[1] The couple had no issue.
