Everything about Danilo Crown Prince Of Montenegro totally explained
Danilo Aleksandar Petrović-Njegoš (Anglicised:
Daniel Alexander Petrovich-Nyegosh) (
June 29,
1871 –
September 24,
1939) was the Crown Prince of
Montenegro. He was eldest of the sons of
King Nikola I Petrović-Njegoš of Montenegro and Queen
Milena Vukotić. From
March 1,
1921 -
March 7,
1921 Danilo was the self-assumed King of Montenegro leading an unrecognised Government-in-exile. On March 7 1921 for reasons which are still unclear Danilo abdicated his royal claims and headship of the royal house in favour of his nephew,
Prince Michael Petrović-Njegoš of Montenegro. His reputation was undermined by announcing his abdication on
March 5 only to publically retract this the following day, before re-affirming it the day after that. His decision was met with much dismay amongst the Montenegrin expatriot community.
Prince Danilo was married to
Duchess Jutta of Mecklenburg (1880-1946) the daughter of
Adolf Friedrich V, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, but the marriage was childless. After he abdicated in 1921 he spent most of his life living in
Nice.
Prince Danilo resurfaced in 1934 when he sued
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer for libel and collected $4,000 in a Paris court for the false-depiction of him in the first version of the film
The Merry Widow. In the film "Prince Danilo of Montenegro" seduces a commoner and then rejects her because it could impoverish the royal treasury. He then regrets his actions and tries to win her back but fails to convince her of his true love. The film bears no relation to reality. The film was re-shot and addition to demoting the Prince to a Captain, they were careful to change the date of the action from 1905 to
1885, when the real Prince was a young boy.
Danilo died at
Vienna (which had recently been annexed by
Nazi Germany) in
1939 without issue.
