Background
The Princess' father-in-law, Nikola I, was deposed on 26th November 1918 and the following year the elected government chose to unite Montenegro with the new Yugoslavia. With his German wife, Danilo had felt uncomfortable about opposing Austria during the War, and shortly after Nikola I's death in 1921 abdicated his rights to his nephew Michael.
