Konstantin-Assen, Prince of Vidin, Duke of Saxony[1] (born 5 December 1967) is the fourth son of Tsar Simeon II of Bulgaria and his wife Doña Margarita Gómez-Acebo y Cejuela. He is known also as Konstantin-Assen of Bulgaria and Konstantin-Assen of Vidin, the latter being the title of the fourth son of Bulgarian kings. He was born in Madrid. Simeon II was exiled as a child when Bulgaria ceased to be a monarchy, so Simeon's wife and children never received any royal titles from Bulgaria.

Education and career

Prince Konstantin-Assen studied business in Spain before gaining a Masters degree from Columbia University, United States. Currently he is the Rothschild Bank Director for Spain.[2]

Marriage and issue

In Madrid on 7 July 1994 Konstantin-Assen married Doña María García de la Rasilla y Gortázar, daughter of Álvaro García de la Rasilla y Pineda and his wife María de Gortázar e Ybarra, daughter of Manuel María de Gortázar y Landecho, 9th Count of Superunda, City Councilor of the Ayuntamiento of Bilbao, and wife (m. Algorta, Getxo, Biscay, 8 November 1932) María del Rosario de Ybarra y Bergé (Bilbao, 13 June 1908 -), niece of Ignacio de Gortázar e Ybarra, 10th Count of Superunda.[3] Through her parents, the Princess of Vidin has considerable Basque ancestry.

They have twins:[4]

  • HRH Prince Umberto Vidinski of Bulgaria, born 20 November 1999
  • HRH Princess Sofia Vidinska of Bulgaria, born 20 November 1999

The Prince of Vidin is the godfather of Infanta Sofía of Spain, the younger daughter of King Felipe VI of Spain.
