She is one of the two daughters of Robert Batis (1916–2011) and Anna Dosti (1922–2010). Her sister is Betty Roumeliotis (née Batis). Katherine was educated in Athens and in Lausanne, Switzerland. She studied business at the University of Denver and the University of Dallas. She worked in business for several years in the United States.
On 25 November 1962, Katherine married Jack Walter Andrews (1933–2013),[1][better source needed][2] the son of Walter Andrews and Elizabeth Pifer.[3] They had two children[4] and divorced in 1984. Katherine has traveled extensively and has lived in Australia, Africa and the United States.
She met her second husband in Washington DC in 1984, and they were married in London, civilly on 20 September 1985 and religiously the next day at the St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church, Notting Hill. Their best man was Constantine II of Greece, and the witness was Prince Tomislav of Yugoslavia, Crown Prince Alexander's uncle.[6]
She has dedicated much of her time to charitable activities since the conflict in the former Yugoslavia. She works in humanitarian relief, and is the patron of various humanitarian organizations including Lifeline Humanitarian Organization. In 2001 she established The HRH Crown Princess Katherine Foundation in Belgrade, in order to expand her charitable works.[7]
In 1991, the Crown Prince traveled to Belgrade with his wife and sons. They were enthusiastically greeted by hundreds of thousands of supporters, many of whom advocated making the Karađorđević family the head of a constitutional parliamentary monarchy.[citation needed]
Katherine speaks Greek, English, French, some Spanish, and now Serbian. She enjoys music, reading, cooking, theater and cross-country skiing.
In 2019, Katherine celebrated 25 years of Lifeline Humanitarian Organisation in London. The event was held at the Claridge's hotel in Mayfair, the birthplace of her husband.
