Yolande, a picture of Margarita which was taken the day she was married to Simeon...
Funny enough: in Spain, the information and pics of their wedding were censored. The Franco´s Regime was not happy about the marriage of Margarita, catholic, with a king without throne who was ortodox.
Margarita was one year old when her parents were killed. Her father was son of a marquis and also a very wealthy man, with a good career as banker. Her mother was from aristocracy too. The couple was killed for spanish comunist, during the bloody years of the Civil War. With her brother, elder than herself, Margarita was raised by her grandmother. She received a good upbringing and education, but she was a young heiress and she needed not a career of her own...Later, she married Simeon, who was lucky enough to caught the eye of the perfect lady with a great amount of money
Margarita has been a traditional woman, supporting her husband and raising their children.
I don´t know if she speaks bulgarian now. When she was married to Simeon, it was out of question to learn bulgarian. They were settled in Spain and the Iron Curtain was a real thing, no one could imagine someday Bulgaria would become a democratic nation among all the democratics european nations...Simeon and Margarita agreed their sons didn´t need to learn bulgarian when they were children or young boys. Maybe right now they had learned bulgarian...specially the "heir of the dinasty" and, pretty sure, the only girl, who is daddy´s favourite. But I have my doubts about Margarita studying bulgarian language...
