HM NATALIJA OBRENOVIC b. 1859, Florence as Natalia Keshko
This is Queen
Natalija and Elizabeth became friends with her. She married King Milan
Obernovic IV of Serbia in 1875 and they had a son called Alexander. She
was the Moldovian/Russian Duchess of Serbia 1875-1882 and the Queen of
Serbia 1882-1889. The King and Queen divorced in 1888 and then in 1889,
her former husband abdicated and she became regent for her son. Alex
married a lady-in-waiting Draga and the Queen was finally banished by
her son for opposing the match. But King Alex & Draga were killed
in a military coup in 1903 and Natalija became the sole heiress to the
Obrenovic dynasty. She coverted to Catholicism and spent her remaining
years as a nun in exile. She died in 1941 in St. Daniel in France and
her unpublished memoirs are kept at the Vatican.
King Milan had devoted great energy in his early reign to the improvement of communications and development of natural resources and this is when Rossall worked for him - I heard tell there was a bridge named Papineau - not the Canadian one but in Serbia.
