Princess Elizabeth of Yugoslavia & Dr. Manuel Ulloa Elias

Although this royal Elizabeth isn’t as well known as the British monarch of the same name, she is a distant cousin of the queen. The member of the Serbian-Yugoslavian royal family married for the third time on this day in 1987.

The princess married Dr. Manuel Olloa Elias, the former Prime Minister of Peru. At the time of their marriage, he was serving as Peru’s Minister of Economy, Finance and Commerce.

The two married in New York City. Due to Elias’ passing in 1992, their marriage only lasted five years. Since his death, the princess has put her energy into human rights activism, politics and writing.
