Princess Katarina of Yugoslavia (born 28 November 1959) is a princess of the former Kingdom of Yugoslavia and a member of the House of Karađorđević. She manages her own businesses and undertakes various commercial work around the world.
Katarina was born in London to Prince Tomislav of Yugoslavia, second son of Alexander I, King of Yugoslavia, and Princess Margarita of Baden. Her father's dynasty having been deposed and banished from Yugoslavia after World War II, she grew up in exile, largely in England. She has one brother, Prince Nikola of Yugoslavia, and two half-brothers, Prince George and Prince Michael. She is a first cousin of Alexander, Crown Prince of Yugoslavia.
She married Sir Desmond Lorenz de Silva QC (born 13 December 1939) on 5 December 1987. They divorced on 6 May 2010. Their only child is Victoria Marie Esmé Margarita de Silva (born 6 September 1991 in London).
Princess Katarina is distantly in the line of succession to the British throne as a descendant of Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom. Following the death of her mother in 2013 she became the senior female descendant of Queen Victoria, from whom she descends paternally through Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and maternally through Alice, Grand Duchess of Hesse and by Rhine. As the granddaughter of Princess Theodora of Greece and Denmark, she is a grand-niece of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, consort of Queen Elizabeth II.
