I remember Simeon auctioned several of Ferdinand's orders and medals about a dozen years ago. There were critical remards in the Bulgarian press because those orders and medals were given not to him persoonally but to the King of Bulgaria.Speaking of regalia, Ferdinand was very vain and had ordered an Emperor's crown before the unsuccessful all-out attack on Istanbul during the First Balkan War.
I am not sure... There are claims that he had no crown at all:http://www.design4you.co.th/magazine/bk_gems/issue903.htmlAt the same time, during his coronation as a king in 1908 he had a crown made in Munich: http://www.bgnews.bg/show_story.html?issue=137260759&media=1523776&class=6852860&story=137262647I cannot find any reference to his "Imperial" crown, although I am certain i have read about it.
This is an outside view of the residence of former Bulgarian King Simeon II in Sofia Thursday June 21, 2001. The former king says he will decide this week whether to take the job of prime minister, after his National Movement for Simeon II party captured half the seats in Bulgaria's parliament.

This is not the Vrana Palace. This is a hunting lodge that was build by Tsar Ferdinand I. He would stay there while hunting. Vrana Palace is close by. Simeon II chose to live in the hunting lodge rather then the palace. I love the picture.
So Simeon II doesn't live in the main palace. Does it belong to him, thus? What is it used for? Anyone visited it?If Tsar Ferdinand had a hunting lodge nearby, who built the main palace and who used to live there?Gleb
Thanks very much Popov2000!! I just hope Tsar Simeon will decide to make a museum out of the main Palace. It would be so beautiful!
