Former Yugoslav king arrives in the USA

February 22, 1951

Former King Peter II of Yugoslavia, and his wife, Queen Alexandra, arrived in New York today on the Queen Mary, reports the Associated Press.   Reporters showed the king "newspaper reports of a rift, and a subsequent reconciliation," and asked Peter if they were true.   King Peter responded: "No."  He and Queen Alexandra made no further comments regarding the state of their marriage.

King Peter and the former Princess Alexandra of Greece were married in London in 1944.  They have one son, Crown Prince Alexander, who was born in July 1945.
