This page was earlier a collection of more than one Pr Alex of Y's, and before that, here was only
Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia the youngest. The following vfd is from era when the youngest prince was under grave risk to be deleted from Wikipedia:

BJAODN and delete. It's nonsense, but it's still rather funny nonsense. -- [[User:Bobdoe|

As the article's improved to something useful, I vote keep, but still send the old version to BJAODN; I'll do this in the near future. -- [[User:Bobdoe|

Keep, not sure what you mean, but a quick search on Google gives plenty of decent results for +Yugoslavia +"Prince Alexander" a quick look on some of them backs up the Churchill claim. The proper suffix is "Serbia and Yugoslavia" though. He is, of course, not in power, but I fail to see why that stops us. -

In all fairness to Rossami, he's alluding to an earlier, joke version of the article: it was revised before you read it. As for suffix: it's far from clear that descendants of deposed royalty change their titles when the country's name changes: for example, the descendants of the Kings of Hannover call themselves "Prince of Great Britain and Ireland" rather than "Prince of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". -

Actually, everything which was written in the original article was true - He did go to King's, his brother was in the same house as him (Linacre), he does skate, did break his arm in the multistorey (whitefriars, it's now been demolished), and went to USF, I think. --

Prince Alexander enjoys surfing, snowboarding, skate boarding and scuba diving. (From page above)--

I think that this is non-notable for everyone except really die-hard royalty aficionados. Delete. --

And while we're at it, let's delete all of the other articles about minor royalty, like
Canute the Great and
Clotaire I! In fact, let's get rid of everyone in the lists in
Category:Lists of office-holders except for the names most people recognize. Sarcasm aside, minor doesn't mean non-notable. This is encyclopedic. Keep. -

Well, it's linked to by several other articles such as
Line of Succession to the British Throne, so I guess we may as well delete that to, it's not very interesting. Keep --

He's number 91 on the said list. After around number 35, the vast majority of people on the said list don't have an article — and nobody cares. --

Just to note, I've added another Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia to this page. This one was born in 1924 and is the son of
Prince Paul of Yugoslavia, the former regent.
