Early life

Aurora was born as the eldest the daughter of Pavel Pavlovich Demidov, 2nd Prince of San Donato, and his second wife, Princess Elena Petrovna Trubetskoy (1853-1917).

First marriage

She married Prince Arsen of Serbia, in Saint Petersburg on 1 May 1892. They had a son, Prince Paul of Yugoslavia, who later became the Regent of Yugoslavia.
