"El Rey Posible: Simeon de Bulgaria"

King Simeon

Do you know a good book about King Simeon. Has a biography ever written about him in English?

Thanks

[frank22]

There is one written in spanish:
"Simeón de Bulgaria, el Rey posible"
Author: Ramón Perez Maura
Ediciones Belacqua
Madrid, Spain

Thank you Frank. I wish I could get one in English or French as I do not speak Spanish or Bulgarian either.

Do you know if his wife, Quuen Margarita speaks Bulgarian? Are his children involved in Bulgarian political and social life? What about the Queen?

I met Boris of Leiningen at an event for the Holocaust survivors. He is very articulate and seems to love Bulgaria/.

Thanks

Her wife doesn't speak bulgarian. She is a spanish aristocratic woman that loves living in Spain. When King Simeon was the minister of Bulgaria she prefer to stay in Spain. Her daughter Karin lives in one of the palaces that the family have in Sofia, Bulgaria. The government gave them their old properties. The sons of King Simeon live in Madrid. They are all rich. Sorry for my english.

Thank you, Frank. It's a pity his wife and children are not interested in Bulgaria. After all, they use their titles only for social and personal gain without giving back to the country their father was king.

Thanks

I think all of his sons are businessmen. Kyril is wed to that beautiful Rosario Nadal.They live in London. The other three live in Madrid. Princess Kalina does live in Bulgaria with her husband and little son.
I saw a photo of the whole family in |Bulgaria fro the king´s birthday.

Hello,

I received Simeon of Bulgaria's biography in English. The book is worth reading. It's full of pictures. He has had a very tragic and fascinating life. I wanted to share with you my impression on the book.

[attaininggrace]

The book sounds very interesting. I don't know much about Bulgarian royalty so I'd like to read it.

[yolandenanji]

You can order it from his website. Send an e-mail to his assistant a.rizova@ndsv.bg. The album costs 30 euros and you will also pay for the shipping expenses.

I think that I'll have to wait until the Aussie dollar goes up again to buy this one, unfortunately!
