A man can be handsome, wealthy and royal these days but that may not be enough to guarantee a flood of admirers.
The Serbian royal family has resorted to personal ads, headlined “Princess Wanted” to attract would-be wives for its three bachelor princes. Prince Peter, 25, and his twin brothers Philip and Alexander, 23, hope they can attract three local girls to become the loves of their lives.
"They are young, beautiful and perfectly educated. They have charm, a sense of humour. They always have (a) smile on their faces," read an extract from the royal statement emailed to Story magazine.
"They are descendants of one of the oldest royal families in Europe, but their titles don't prevent them from skiing, surfing, dancing and cooking fabulous meals. "
"Their royal highnesses Peter, Philip and Alexander have something else in common: those they will choose to marry will become princess."
The email release featured photographs of the three princes, who the Serbian royal family's website says are descendants of Britain's Queen Victoria. Peter, Philip and Alexander are the sons of Serbia's crown prince Alexander Karadjordjevic, 60, who returned to Serbia in late 2000 and serves a largely ceremonial role in the Balkan state. Alexander II had lived in exile in London after being banned from his homeland by former socialist leader Josip Broz Tito.
The crown prince is the son of Peter II, the young king crowned in 1941 who fled his country after Nazi Germany invaded.
His three sons were raised abroad and none of them speaks the language of their homeland perfectly.
"A real love hasn't happened to me yet and for the time being I cannot say that it exists," said Philip, who along with Alexander was born in Fairfax, Virginia. "Sometimes I think about marriage as a part of my future," said Peter, who was born in Chicago. "It is nice to meet someone who then becomes a real friend, because the basis of any love is friendship and trust," he said.
