Tsar Simeon Sakskoburggotski began ruling Bulgaria in 1943 at the tender age of a few years old, due to the unexpected death of his father, Boris III. However, shortly after, the monarchy was overthrown by the communists, and Simeon, along with his mother and sister, had to leave the country. They were granted asylum in Spain and remained connected to the country for many years. The Tsar (although the system of governance changed, he never abdicated) returned to Bulgaria only after 50 years and immediately became involved in politics. He even served as Prime Minister for one term, although his popularity later waned.
Princess Kalina Has Been Accused of Plastic Surgery for Years. "This Is Spreading Disinformation"
In recent months, there has been increasing talk about the Bulgarian royals, largely due to the actions of Simeon's daughter. Princess Kalina is the only daughter among the Tsar’s five children. For many years, she did not draw much attention to herself, but in recent years, more attention has been paid to changes in her appearance. As early as the early 2000s, curious onlookers were searching for information about plastic surgeries she was allegedly undergoing. These rumors have followed the princess to this day.
"All these absurd theories about Kalina's plastic surgeries and cosmetic procedures are nothing more than spreading disinformation," said Kalina's husband, Antonio José Muñoz y Valcárcel, in 2018. The Spanish traveler and former commando revealed in an interview with "Hola!" magazine that his wife, at a young age, was injured in an accident, resulting in the loss of her front teeth. She decided to undergo surgery in the late 1990s. Unfortunately, complications arose during the procedure, leading to an infection that affected her nasal cartilage and part of her eye, impacting the princess's facial appearance.
Bulgarian Princess on the Lips of Haters. Her Short Response: "I Am an Athlete"
However, the speculations did not cease, and they were further fueled by Kalina's appearance at a funeral this year, where she appeared alongside her family. She wore a dress that revealed very muscular arms. It turns out that in recent years she has dedicated herself to maintaining her physique. Photos appeared, among other places, on the Facebook page Icons+, which is dedicated to the lives of celebrities.
I am committed to weight training and taking care of my health. I am an athlete
- the princess explained, as quoted by "Hello!" magazine. A significant part in instilling this love for fitness was played by her husband, who is himself a former commando. As stated in the same source, her husband is happy about this and wholeheartedly supports his wife.
"She is in excellent physical shape because she leads a healthy lifestyle, exercises daily, and eats well. You can see it not only by looking at her figure but also at her beautiful face
- he said. Munoz stands firmly by his wife, along with others who support the princess in her battle against haters. Despite this support, there are still many negative, cruel, and mocking comments about Kalina, although it would seem that everyone has the right to make decisions about their life and appearance without being subjected to hurtful remarks from others. Many people also compare old photos of Kalina, ignoring the fact that there are several decades between them (the woman is now 52 years old) and the previously mentioned unsuccessful dental procedure. In certain situations, it’s worth remembering the saying that "silence is golden".
