Biography

Konstantin-Assen, Prince of Vidin, Duke of Saxony

(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

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.

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.

Through her parents, the Princess of Vidin has considerable Basque ancestry.

They have twins: Umberto (b. 20 November 1999) and Sofia (b. 20 November 1999).

Konstantin-Assen is the godfather of Infanta Sofía of Spain, the younger daughter of King Felipe VI of Spain.
