Draga was not of noble origin, she was a widow, 12 years older than him, who could not give him an heir. One of the five conspiratorial groups that executed the married couple on the night between May 28 and 29 and carried out the &#8220;May Coup&#8221; started right from the &#8220;Hotel Bulevar&#8221; tavern, where they patiently waited for the moment of action, which would end the Obrenovi\u0107 dynasty and change the course of Serbian history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"535\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/agitated-kowalevski.162-55-85-125.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/razglednica_iz_1900.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/warped-development.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/razglednica_iz_1900.jpg 535w, https:\/\/warped-development.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/razglednica_iz_1900-201x300.jpg 201w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 535px) 100vw, 535px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ten years after the screening of the film about the wedding of the royal couple, the sound film &#8220;Chronomegaphone Gomon&#8221; was also broadcast.
