Katarina Konstantinovic was a Serbian noblewoman and a member of the Obrenovic dynasty as the daughter of Princess Anka Obrenovic and the first cousin of King Milan I to whom she acted as his de facto first lady of the royal court after Queen Natalija Keshko separated from him.
Katarina married twice. Prior to her first marriage, she was the mistress of her cousin, Mihailo Obrenovic III, Prince of Serbia, who was considering a divorce from his childless wife Julia Hunyady de Kéthely to make Katarina his consort. On 10 June 1868, while she, Mihailo and Princess Anka were strolling through the park near the royal summer residence, assassins shot and killed her lover and mother, and left her wounded. That same year she married.
