Biography
Maria Pia Elena Elisabetta Margherita Milena Mafalda Ludovica Tecla Gennara di Savoia was the second-born child of the Prince and Princess of Piedmont, born in Naples, Italy in 1934. Her parents, married since 1930, were unhappy together, as her mother confessed in an interview many years later (On n'a jamais été heureux, "We were never happy"), and separated after the Italian monarchy was abolished by plebiscite on 2 June 1946. Exiled, the family gathered briefly in Portugal, and she and her three younger siblings soon went with their mother to Switzerland while their father remained in Portugal. Being devout Catholics, her parents never divorced.
Marriage and issue
In 1955 she married Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia (born 1924), son of Prince Paul of Yugoslavia and Princess Olga of Greece and Denmark. However, the couple divorced in 1967. With Prince Alexander she has two sets of twins:
- Prince Dimitri of Yugoslavia (born 1958)
- Prince Michael of Yugoslavia (born 1958)
- Prince Sergius "Serge" of Yugoslavia (born 1963), married to Eleonora Rajneri[1]
- Princess Helene Olga Lydia Tamara Maria of Yugoslavia (born 1963), married to Thierry Gaubert[2]
- Milena Gaubert (born 1988)
- Nastasia Gaubert (born 1991)
In 2003 she remarried to Prince Michael of Bourbon-Parma (born 1926), son of Prince René of Bourbon-Parma and Princess Margaret of Denmark. She has no issue with him. Through him she is a sister-in-law of Queen Anne of Romania.
