Prince Philip Karageorgevich (born 15 January 1982 in Fairfax, Virginia) is a member of the Yugoslavian Royal Family [1].
He is the son of Alexander, Crown Prince of Yugoslavia and Princess Maria da Gloria of Orléans Bragança, and the fraternal twin of Prince Alexander. He would be second in the line to the Throne after his elder brother, Prince Peter. Philip's paternal grandparents were Peter II of Yugoslavia and Alexandra of Greece, daughter of Alexander I of Greece and Aspasia Manos, who trace their patrilineal from George I of Greece to the Komnenos and their matrilineal from Olga Konstantinovna of Russia to the Romanovs. His maternal grandparents are Prince Dom Pedro Gastão of Orléans Bragança and Princess Maria de la Esperanza of Bourbon-Two Sicilies. His Godparents are Queen Sofia of Spain, Constantine II of Greece, and Anne, Duchess of Calabria.
Philip lived in Virginia until 1984. Together with his twin brother, he first attended school in London. In 2000, he graduated at The King's School, Canterbury. Philip graduated from University College London with a Bachelor Degree of Arts. Prince Philip is now working for a foreign financial institution in the City of London.
On July 17, 2001, Philip and the Royal Family took up residence in the Beli Dvor in Belgrade. He is in line for succession to the British throne.
Philip is a matrilineal descendant of Polish princess Marie Leszczynska, Queen Consort of France, through an almost-three-century-long unbroken line of House of Bourbon daughters who all married to their own house.
His ancestry among medieval monarchs of Balkan is presented at Nemanjic pedigree of the Royal House of Yugoslavia.
