About this person
Paul Karađorđević was born on 27 April 1893 into the Serbian royal house. When his first cousin Alexander I was assassinated, Alexander's son Peter II inherited the throne at eleven years old, and Paul stepped in as prince regent. For the next several years he governed the Kingdom of Yugoslavia during the boy's minority, navigating a country split by ethnic tension and encircled by gathering war. He never took the crown himself. Paul died on 14 September 1976, decades after the monarchy fell and the kingdom ceased to exist.
