The “Iron Curtain” which came down across Europe after 1945 turned several Balkan kingdoms into Russian communist satellites. The result was banishment and exile for their kings.

An early victim was King Peter II of Yugoslavia who was deprived of his throne on Nov- ember 29. 1945, when the Communist guerrilla leader Josip Broz, better known as Marshal Tito, formally abolished the monarchy.

The Lost Kingdom of Yugoslavia

King Peter never recovered from the shock, which overshadowed the rest of his life. He went to the United States where he became a pitiful figure, frequently drunk and prone to regaling anyone and everyone with the great tragedy of his life and the beauties of Yugoslavia which he never saw again.
