Belgrade, 17 April 2011 - HRH Prince Philip, son of Their Royal Highnesses Crown Prince Alexander and Crown Princess Katherine, grandson of HM King Peter II of Yugoslavia, participated in the Belgrade Half-Marathon today together with his friends and many citizens of Serbia, as well as participants from abroad.

Prince Philip, his friends Ms. Lucy Attwood, Ms. Anna-Rose Martelli, participated in the Half-Marathon, while their friend Mr. Daniel Cartwright ran the whole Marathon to raise funds and sponsors for HRH Crown Princess Katherine Foundation which will be used to help disadvantaged children in Serbia.

The Belgrade Half Marathon is very important to me as it is being held in Belgrade, a city which both my family and I feel very connected to and also because all the collected funds will go toward humanitarian goals. We would be very grateful for your support”.
