Highness the Prince and Lord Nikola I Petrovic and the Golden Jubilee of H.R. Highnesses the Prince Lord and Princess Milena. On that occasion, Cetinje was visited by members of many European dynasties, above all because of the fact that marriages of Nikola's daughters made him the most famous European father-in-law. Among the participants were the Russian Grand Duke Nikolay Nikolaevich Romanov (special attention was drawn to the arrival of the Russian fleet to Bar) with his wife Anastasia-Stana, the daughter of King Nikola, the Italian king Vitorio Emanuel (with his wife Jelena, the second daughter of King Nikola), Count Franc Batenberg (with his wife Anne, third daughter of King Nikola), as well as Nikola's grandson, Serbian Crown Prince Alexander Karadjordjevic. The declaration of Montenegro for the kingdom was held in the hall of the Government House, followed by the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the marriage, the " Golden Jubilee " of King Nikola and Queen Milena. The ceremony ended with the defile of the Montenegrin war veterans, who, after the welcoming speech of serdar Rade Plamenac, have intimately surrounded their sovereign.More rare films here: filmsbytheyear.com/chronological-list-of-filmsJoin the Films by the Year Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/filmsbytheyear
