Prince Tomislav of Yugoslavia (Serbian Cyrillic: Томислав Карађорђевић; Belgrade, 19 January 1928 – 12 July 2000) was a member of the House of Karađorđević; the second son of Alexander I and Maria of Yugoslavia. He was a younger brother of Peter II of Yugoslavia and a former nephew-in-law to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
Prince Tomislav was born on 19 January 1928, on Epiphany according to the Julian calendar used by the Serbian Orthodox Church, at 1 A.M., as the second son of the sovereign of the then Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later the Kingdom of Yugoslavia), Alexander I (1888–1934) and Queen Maria (1900–1961), the second daughter of King Ferdinand of Romania (1865–1927) and his wife Queen Marie (1875–1938).
He was baptized on 25 January in a salon of the New Palace in Belgrade, with the British Minister to the Yugoslav Court, Kennard, representing the godfather King George V, with water from the Vardar and Danube rivers and the Adriatic Sea. The Prince was named after Tomislav of Croatia, the King of medieval Croatia.
