Princess Kalina of Bulgaria

Princess Kalina of Bulgaria

Princess Kalina of Bulgaria (born January 19, 1972 in Madrid, Spain), is the fifth child and only daughter of Tsar Simeon II of Bulgaria and his wife Doña Margarita Gómez-Acebo y Cejuela.

Kalina got her secondary education in France and speaks Bulgarian, Spanish, French, English, Italian and German. She is an unconventional Royal, often expressing herself through fashion which includes unusual clothing, hairstyle, and makeup. She is a vegetarian, and her interests include fashion, art, furniture restoration, painting, and animal rights. She is also the only of her parents' children who became a Catholic.

On October 26, 2002 Kalina married Antonio "Kitín" Muñoz y Valcárcel, a noted Spanish humanitarian. The Royal wedding was the subject of a television documentary. The wedding ceremony was Roman Catholic at Tsarska Bistritsa but followed by an Eastern Orthodox blessing.

On October 22, 2006 it was announced that Kalina and Kitín are expecting their first child. ["Bulgarian Princess Kalina Pregnant with First Child", "The Sofia Weekly", October 22, 2006] Princess Kalina gave birth to a healthy boy on March 14 2007 at Lozenets Hospital in Sofia. The baby's name, Simeon Hassan Muñoz, is in honour of his grandfather Simeon II of Bulgaria and the late Hassan II of Morocco (because of the friendship between the two royal families).
