Prince Alexander, who through his father’s abdication has become King of Servia, was born on 14th August, 1876. He is a tall, slim, good looking boy, with deep black eyes, like those of his mother, and the keen, penetrating look peculiar to his father, whose nervousness, restlessness, and haughty bearing he has also inherited. The Standard correspondent had some time ago an opportunity of speaking with some members of the new King’s daily entourage. They described him as a clever, quick-witted, lively, and unusually intelligent lad, but insincere, calculating, prompt in detecting and profiting by an advantage.
