Colonel Alexander Simonovic was a trustee of queen Natalia. Being under a lot of pressure because of unfortunate events, she openly told him her thoughts. When she found her peace in the south of France, she was still interested in Serbian Affaires. The Queen Natalie‘s letter’s are very important sours for the understanding of her character, as well her planes which were directed by her status of a divorced woman.
