As such, he is by courtesy also sometimes styled as if being a crown prince. He is known also as Kardam of Bulgaria and Kardam of Turnovo, the latter being the title of the heir apparent of the Bulgarian throne. He was born in Madrid, was baptized to Orthodox faith, and has a Master's degree in Agricultural Economics from Penn State University. Marriage and children In Madrid, on 11 July 1996, Kardam married doña Miriam de Ungría y López, born in Madrid on 2 September 1963, a gemologist and a historian, daughter of don Bernardo de Ungría y Goiburu, Honorary President of the Colegio Heráldico de España y de las Indias, and author of Los Titulos Nobiliarios Utilizados Como Distantivos Comerciales,[2][3] and of his wife, doña María del Carmen López y Oleaga, both of Basque descent. They have two sons, who are second and third, respectively, in the line of succession to the now-defunct Bulgarian throne: HRH Prince Boris Turnovski of Bulgaria (b. 12 October 1997 in Madrid) HRH Prince Beltrán Turnovski of Bulgaria (b. 23 March 1999 in Madrid) If he were to become Tsar, he would be styled Kardam II of Bulgaria. Car accident On 15 August 2008, Kardam and his wife Miriam were involved in a serious car accident in El Molar, near Madrid. Prince Kardam was taken by helicopter to the Doce de Octubre Hospital, while his wife was taken to the La Paz Hospital. The car they were in crashed into a tree, then turned over just ten meters away from a nearby house. Prince Kardam suffered severe brain-skull trauma and severe injuries to his hands. His wife Miriam suffered a broken elbow, broken ribs and a collapsed lung. She was treated and released from the hospital on 4 September. Galya Dicheva, a spokeswoman for Saxe-Coburg Gotha family confirmed the information about the car accident and explained that Prince Kardam had undergone surgery in the evening following the accident. As of 18 August 2008, Kardam was being kept in an artificial coma. According to doctors at the Doce de Octubre Hospital, both his hands were paralyzed, and reports mentioned that he had lost two fingers.[4][5][6] A Bulgarian news agency reported on 15 October, that Kardam was still in critical condition, but stable, and that his breathing and vital signs had improved.[7] The news agency reported on 23 January 2009, that the prince had been released from the hospital and was slowly recovering at home. Prince Kardam was now able to stand and communicate.[8] In January 2010 however, Prince Kardam suffered a critical setback and was re-hospitalized. He currently remains in a coma.[9] In May 2010, Bulgarian authorities issued a summons to the comatose Prince over issues relating to the management of property returned to him, to his father, and to his aunt (as heirs to Kings Ferdinand and Boris III) by the post communist government. Former King and Prime Minister Simeon II and his sister Princess Maria Louisa have objected to the summons on the grounds that the Prince is incapacitated.[10] Ancestors References ^ Biography HRH Prince Kardam of Turnovo – Official website of H.M.
