Her already recognizable style is manifested through the collages she creates and actively exhibits through solo and group exhibitions and art fairs, thus becoming part of the cultural milieu of both Belgrade and Paris. Among numerous solo exhibitions in Belgrade, Princess Danica had solo exhibitions in Parisian galleries: Galerie Origines and Galleries Artessepia within the Carré Rive Gauche event, Saint-Germain des Près, in 2007 and 2008. Her works were also exhibited at the Biennale of Contemporary Art in Paris in 2008, 2010 and 2014. She has been a member of the Applied Artists and Designers Association of Serbia in the design section since 2010.[10][7]

On 24 July 2017, her engagement to Prince Philip of Serbia was announced. They married on 7 October 2017, at the Cathedral Church of Saint Michael the Archangel in Belgrade, Serbia. Their witnesses were Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden and Philip's older brother Prince Peter.[11] Several members of foreign royal families also attended, including Queen Sofía of Spain, Princess Anne, Duchess of Calabria, Prince Guillaume of Luxembourg with his wife Sibilla of Luxembourg, Prince Amyn Aga Khan, Princess Jeet of Nabha Khemka, as well as numerous relatives and guests of the Karađorđević royal family and the Marinković family, including president of the National Assembly of Serbia Maja Gojković among others.[12] It was the first royal wedding in Serbia since 1922 and the wedding of King Alexander I and Princess Maria of Romania, the paternal grand-grandparents of her husband. Her wedding gown was created by Serbian fashion designer Roksanda Ilinčić.[13]

Princess Danica gave birth to their son, Prince Stefan, in Belgrade on 25 February 2018, at 10:30 am.[9] Stefan is the first male child born to the royal family on Serbian soil for 90 years, the last such birth being that of Prince Tomislav in Belgrade in 1928.[14][8] The prince was baptized on December 15, 2018, at the Royal Palace's Chapel in Belgrade.[15] Danica gave birth to their daughter, Princess Marija, on 5 November 2023, in Belgrade.[16]

Arms

Notes
All heraldic questions pertaining to the House of Karađorđević are under jurisdiction of the Herald of the House. The blessing of having numerous offspring in the House requires further codification for the members of the House so that a clear system of identification among the generations is enabled. The decree is not signed yet although it was verbally confirmed by the Head of the House so it is possible to give the graphical illustration of the proposed system.[30]
