We recently attended a delightful luncheon at Elizabeth Thieriot’s Tiburon home which was held in support of the Lifeline Humanitarian Organization.  Founded by Crown Princess Katherine in 1993, Lifeline provides food and medical care to refugee camps and orphanages throughout the former Yugoslavia.

The Royal Family of Serbia was in the Bay Area to attend a wedding, and stayed for a few days to attend the Opera and visit friends.  Locally, their Royal Highnesses are longtime friends of Denise Hale, who wasn’t at the luncheon but has been a generous supporter of the needs of people in Serbia (she once donated an ambulance to a Belgrade hospital, in memory of her grandparents, whom she grew up with in Serbia.)

Their Royal Hignesses Crown Prince Alexander and Crown Princess Katherine spoke eloquently of the struggles that the poor and the displaced are still dealing with in Serbia.

Lunch was served poolside. The beautiful Tiburon home has gorgeous panoramic views of the Bay and the San Francisco skyline.
