might have had a daughter, but her name does not appear in any sources. A
correspondent has sent me the following note: "I got my information out of
the August 1998 issue of Royalty Digest.
The article on the Obrenovics is on pg. 48 in
the "Glimpses" section, and the article itself is an excerpt from a
book called "A Soldier-Diplomat," by John Murray (c. 1927). This book consists of the memoirs of
Brigadier-General Sir Douglas Dawson, a British militay
attache.
Dawson's visit to King Milan took place in 1886, and with him went
another officer, Major Wortley.
The
section of the article pertinent to the sister is as follows:
"Milan is certainly a good talker and raconteur. At this first audience he gave us a detailed
description of an attack which had been made on him and his sister when as
children playing in the Topchida Park in Belgrade,
instigated, he said, by supporters of the rival dynasty of Kara-Georgevitch...He enlarged on the bitter feud which for many
years had existed between the Obrenovitch and the
Kara-Georgevitch dynasties, and Wortley
and I were initiated that day into much which was soon to make history.
"The
King invited us to a State ball which was given that evening at the Palace, and
to this day I have some favours which Queen Nathalie
gave me in the cotillion. Her majesty
was a striking-looking lady, very much the Eastern type of beauty. During the ball the King presented me to his
sister, whom he described as "full of lead," for as a child she had
been wounded in the head, body, and legs during the assault above referred
to."
However,
a Serbian correspondent has informed me that the "sister" referred to
in that book was likely actually his first cousin Katarina
Konstantinović. He explains that "in Serbia we call all our first, second etc cousins
'brother/sister.' "
