Fr John Salter writes in Chrysostom Apostles-Dormition 2013:
In 1961 Her Majesty Queen Maria of The Serbs, the Croats and the Slovenes, the widow of the assassinated King Alexander, daughter of Queen Marie of Romania and a great granddaughter of Queen Victoria, died in exile in England and was buried at Frogmore in Windsor Great Park. This spring the body of this Orthodox Queen was disinterred and taken for burial in the Royal Tombs in Belgrade, in the presence of her Majesty’s grandson Crown Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia, the Orthodox Kings of Bulgaria and Greece and her grandson and grand daughter T.R.Hs Prince Nicholas and Princess Katerina of Yugoslavia.
Her Majesty’s life had been tragic – the loss of her husband at the hands of an assassin in Marseilles her elder son’s loss of his throne and the exile of her family. She remained a rallying point for exiled Yugoslavs in this country and worked hard in visiting her former subjects and supporting their cathedral of St.Savva, the former Anglican church of St. Columb in Lancaster Road, Notting Hill, London.
May the Handmaid of God, Maria, now Rest in Peace.
