Serbia’s Royal Couple “In Love” With Bermuda

August 25, 2014

HRH Crown Prince Alexander II and HRH Crown Princess Katherine of Serbia are presently vacationing in Bermuda, and the couple had high words of praise for the island, saying that they “fell in love” with Bermuda and that arriving here is like “arriving in another world.”

The couple has visited the island before, and are staying at the Fairmont Hamilton Princess, calling the hotel’s owner Peter Green a “dear friend” of theirs.

The Crown Prince said, “We’ve always liked coming here, visiting them, and also I like diving here – I haven’t done any diving this time – but Bermuda’s been so hospitable to both of us.”

When asked how he had discovered Bermuda for the first time, the Crown Prince first joked that he found it on the map, but then said, “I think that we discovered Bermuda very much thanks to Sir David and Lady Lully Gibbons.

“We had met many years ago and they said, ‘you’ve got to come visit Bermuda. So we came here and we fell in love with Bermuda immediately, it’s great.”

The Crown Princess said, “There’s something about Bermuda. I cannot exactly tell you what it is; every time I come, I think I’ll find the secret….I can’t.

“There’s something about this place that gives you a good feeling. First of all, the people are very hospitable, they’re happy to see you.”

“It’s a beautiful, beautiful island. And the location; let’s say from New York – you just come. But you arrive here and you think you’re on another planet, another world.”

    • Longtail says:

      Neve a good word to say about anything. I feel only pity for you.

      • Toodle-oo says:

        Don’t pay him any mind . With people like him around it just gives credence to his constant claims that there’s two Bermudas.

    • sonso says:

      The King and Queen of Serbia are a liiiitle bit different than PRC holders in Bermuda. First thing that comes to my mind is the length of time PRC’s have been here; most of them no less than 10 years.

      And you KEEP adding an ‘a’ at the end of your name. People might be able to understand your viewpoint a little better with out it.

    • Mike says:

      What do you consider not giving a s–???? Are they suppose to give you some of there money? Pay for your education? Buy you a car? Employ you even though you dont apply yourself? Please explain what you mean when you say “they the PRC’s” dont give a s—? I dont see them hurting you in any way? Did they take your CEO job away from you? Im confused! You are mad at folks that really have done absolutely nothing to you. They live here and work here and pay taxes here just like you….oh I forgot they just werent born here but how far back does you ancestry go? Im a young “black Bermudian” and my great grandmother was from St. Kitts. That means that my ancestry only goes back 3 generations.

    • Anon says:

      Kunta,

      I’d rather have a 1000 PRCs rather than one person as narrow minded and unBermudian as you are any day

    • A tourist says:

      Kunta, you don’t deserve to live here. I’m so glad the rest of the people we meet aren’t like you.

  4. animallover says:

    So nice to hear that people, like we do, think that Bermuda is the most beautiful island in the world. We’re so lucky to live here. Enjoy your stay with us.

  5. Wow says:

    Kunta…. Get a clue

  6. Terry says:

    Kunta.
    Just a note to let you know that your name suits you fine.
    Don’t let the spelling wrangle your brain.
    Would not want you running off to the liquor store, having a few and then sitting down at your computer and being a real kunta.

    Shalom.

    • Christopher Notoriouss says:

      Kunta – your ignorance clearly shows no limits. And your name is spelled wrong.

  7. aceboy says:

    Also, if you happen to read these comments please ignore the resident idiot…Kunta.

  8. mercy says:

    Kunta, go find your missing foot, insert in mouth.

  9. Steven says:

    Glad they enjoying Bda. I love going to Serbia. Go once a year and have been doing so for almost 20 years. Love Belgrade, Zemun , Novi Sad. This story’s got me craving rakia and some pljeskavica or cevapi, with Sampita for desert :)

  10. Raymond Ray says:

    We thank you both for choosing Bermuda once again…Please, “keep coming back” :-)

  11. Wanderer says:

    Am so pleased to hear that The Serbian Crown Prince and Princess have enjoyed Bermuda yet again and hope that they shall continue to do so for many more years. It truly is one of the most beautiful places in the world, with an extra “je ne sais quoi” that defies description. Have a safe journey home and come back soon!
