NATALIE, QUEEN OF SERBIA, born in 1859, daughter of Peter Ivanovitch Kischko, a Russian officer; married Prince Milan in 1875, who later became King of Serbia. In 1888 they were divorced. A year later Milan abdicated, and Natalie returned to Belgrade to live with her son, King Alexander. Her pro-Russian intrigues caused her to be expelled from the country in 1891, but was allowed to return to Belgrade two years later, when she became reconciled to Milan. After the assassination of King Alexander, in 1903, she was again compelled to leave Serbia, and then lived in France.
