Aleksandar II of Nikolia (Aleksandar Konstantin Petar Petrov-Stefanović; born 26th August 1966) is the current King of Nikolia. Born in the House Petrov-Stefanović, Aleksandar is the eldest child of Queen Viktorija II and Ivan, Grand Prince of Moravia. He succeeded the throne upon his mother's death on 7th of June 1990 at the age of 24.
Studying at the Imperial University of Carigrad, he met with Irena Vladisavljević which he married in 1986, after only 6 months of dating. Their marriage was a major controversy as the Nikolian public life, especially the nobility and politicians, considered the then-Crown Prince rushing into the marriage with a commoner whom he only knew for a couple of months. However, Queen Viktorija II gave her consent and a lavish ceremony was organised for their marriage. Aleksandar has three children: Crown Prince Konstantin, Prince Miroslav and Princess Natalija.
Birth and early life
Aleksandar was born in the Royal University Clinical Centre in Carigrad on 26th of August 1966 to Queen Viktorija II and Ivan, Grand Prince of Moravia. He was long awaited child of the Queen as she was 37 when she gave birth to him.
Becoming heir apparent by birth, as the first child of his parents, Aleksandar enjoyed a special care by the royal family and the court officials. He attended public primary and high school on Dvorsko brdo, close to the Imperial Palace of Carigrad, while he studied international relations at the Imperial University of Carigrad where he met with his now wife and Queen Consort Irena.
In 1986 he requested to be married to Irena, which was deemed controversial as the couple only knew each other for several months, and the fact that Irena had no aristocratic background. The whole ordeal was kept in secrecy as to not create negative image of the monarchy, however, much of the information leaked to the public, which led to protests of support to the young Crown Prince in front of the Imperial Palace. The protests, and possibly the fact that Irena was pregnant at the time, led the Queen to give her consent to the marriage, which was organised later that year in a lavish ceremony with more than 450,000 members of the public celebrating the victory of love. Several months later, in 1987, then-Crown Princess gave birth to their first child, Konstantin, who will later become the Crown Prince in 1990.
In early 1989, the Queen fell ill to the lung cancer (being a passionate smoker of tobacco), and Aleksandar was appointed regent. Just several months later, on 7th of June, 1990, it was announced from the Royal University Clinical Centre in Carigrad that the Queen has passed away, making Aleksandar succeeding the throne and becoming the King. Seven days later, on 14th of June, he was coronated in the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul.
