Like Fantômas, she could easily embody a fictional character who changes face throughout her wanderings. His life has everything of an adventure film. For more than twenty years, Kalina from Bulgaria has been transformed with each of her appearances. His last family outing did not fail to surprise.
On May 29, at the Varna Palace in Sofia, the princess was surrounded by her husband Kitin Munoz and their son Simeon Hassan to witness the return of the remains of her great-grandfather, Tsar Ferdinand I. Not far from her father Simeon II, also present, Kalina showed impressive musculature in her classic sleeveless dress.

At 52, Kalina from Bulgaria said she is a very sporty woman, concerned about her health, who trains in particular with weights. “I am an athlete,” commented the woman who launched the first “Princess Kalina Fitness Cup” in Sofia in 2008.

If the princess then left to live in Morocco, where her husband worked, she returned to Bulgaria, to Sofia, to give birth to her son Simeon Hassan, named in homage to the King of Morocco Hassan II
A face marked by health concerns
So many metamorphoses, as if to distract attention from a face marked by a medical accident that occurred when she was a child. If some thought that the princess abused cosmetic surgery, her husband Kitin Munoz reestablished the truth during an interview with Hello in 2018: Kalina broke two teeth at school when she was 8 years old. In 1999, while a student in London, she went to the dentist to have crowns fitted, but he drilled too deeply into the base of the tooth. “This caused serious problems, an infection and a new operation.
The princess suffered another serious facial infection in 2000, while accompanying her husband on a sea expedition. “The inability to go to hospital and the conditions at sea” meant that “the “The infection progressed and got worse, affecting part of the eye,” he recalled. “We then had to urgently evacuate her, she underwent surgery to first clean the eye. infection and avoid cosmetic damage, but that did not matter at the moment. The most important thing was to save the eye and the nose,” the explorer concluded
