Yes. He is not a reigning monarch and he is not the son of a King of Serbia. He is the son of a king of Yugoslavia.

: Yes, but the royal family of Yugoslavia was

: As Gary said, Alexander has a semi-official

: Yes. He is not only heir to the kings of
: Yugoslavia, but also to the Karadjordjovic
: kings of Serbia. Since both thrones are
: equally extinct, I hardly see what
: difference it makes to which he pretends.
:
: On the other hand, there is a Republic of
: Serbia and it does accord the Crown Prince a
: sort of semi-official status. In this sense
: he is more "of Serbia" than he is
: of the defunct Yugoslavia.
