Kalina has an illness if I remember. I first thought that she is a plastic surgery victim 
Very nice photos.

Has Kardam come out of the coma after the car accident?

Has Kardam come out of the coma after the car accident? 

I don't think so. They don't talk much about it but IIRC the last thing they said it was that he recognised their voices or something like that.

[Rearden]

I think he is way better but he will never be 100% 

Kalina probably likes too much the white stuff

Prince Kardam still in coma...........after 5 years. I had some improvement but since 2010 after a set back there is apparently no inprovement.

Simeon of Bulgaria palace runs out (another)

Simeon Saxe-Coburg (77 years), the last king of Bulgaria and former prime minister, has lost another court battle to get it returns ownership of a palace nationalized by the communist regime after the fall of the monarchy in 1946, informed the office of the former monarch.

A court has ruled that Sofia Palace Tsarska Bistritsa has always belonged to the state, a decision will be appealed by Saxe-Coburg.

According to the presiding judge argued Filip Vladimirov told the newspaper Tschassa '24 ', the castle which is located in the Rila Mountains, south of the country was part of the state in the past heritage of the royal household and was not property of the monarch.

Didn't he sort out of coma for a short period?

[leatherface]

My condolences to his family, especially his wife and children.

[Thistle]

From what I remember, he has been in and out of the coma and part of his body become paralyzed and never recovered.

That was one of the cause of the death it seems. According to what his father Simeon said to Spanish press, he died from a pulmonary infection related to his paralysis.
