Islam is the official religion of Jordan. The majority of the Jordanian people are Sunni. the king’s daughter in law Simeon of Bulgaria and jewelry designer has remarried this Saturday in a ceremony that was attended by King Abdullah, as reported by the local newspaper Alrai. The local press also reports the presence of Princes El Hassan bin Talal and Talal bin Muhammad.

Professor of philosophy and writer, he studied at the famous British school Harrow (1979-1984) and graduated with the highest marks from the North American University of Princeton (1988). He must be a hopeless romantic if we take into account that his university thesis was titled “What is it to fall in love?: A study of the literary archetype of love”. The new husband of Miriam Ungria he was also educated at Cambridge (1990-1993) and attended the Usul al-Din College in Cairo (2007-2010), where he received his Ph.D.

The princess has a degree in Art History by the Complutense University of Madrid and specialized in gemology and design; she also works as an appraiser. She started working from a very young age for different brands, until she decided to name her creations after her. She started selling her products in The English Court and little by little it was expanding its market both in Spain and abroad.

The tragedy that changed the life of Ungría in 2008

Seven years after the death of Bulgarian cardamom, the widow of the former heir to the royal family changes radically when she becomes the wife of a Muslim prince. Miriam lately lived in her in London, where she developed her professional work as a jewelry businesswoman, although she spent good seasons in Madrid with her family.

Seven years ago Miriam de Ungría lost her husband, Bulgarian cardamom, son of Simeon II, because of the consequences produced by a traffic accident occurred in 2008. He was the heir to the throne of a country that today lacks a monarchy.

Miriam spent almost eight years pending the care of her husband until the day of his death and after a situation that turned out to be irrecoverable. She herself had suffered terrible consequences in her body and had to recover from the injuries in her arm. Years after being widowed, she moved to London, where her children, Boris and Beltrán, live and where she works as a businesswoman. “It’s not an escape, it’s a way of moving on. At the time I lived on the outskirts of Madrid and I went to live in the center, it was not an escape but a new chapter in the book of life. And now that other chapter is being in London, “he explained in 2018 to the magazine Hola.

Her children study in London. The oldest, Boris, is 22 years old and last year he graduated from the London School of Fine Arts at Wimbledon. Boris of Bulgaria is the one who currently holds the title of Prince of Tirnovo and, therefore, heir to a Bulgarian throne, although Bulgaria is a republic. The little one, Beltrán, who is 21 years old, studies Physics. After the death of his father, Boris and Beltrán from Bulgaria attended high school in an Austrian boarding school and then began their higher studies in the United Kingdom.

“I am very well in London. From a work point of view it is a very good opportunity. Everything moves a lot there,” the princess declared not long ago. The death of her mother, Carmen López Oleaga, Marchioness of Montefalcón, was another terrible blow.

Her daughter dedicated the following message to her on social networks: “Goodbye, mom. I’ll keep your smile, your incredible green eyes and our naps in your bed, curled up next to you and feeling your skin, still wonderful at 92 years old “.

At the marquise’s funeral, held at the end of the same month in the Jerónimos church in Madrid, the designer did not separate from her father, Bernardo de Ungría y Goibarri. Her in-laws, Simeón de Bulgaria and Margarita Gómez-Acebo, and even Queen Sofía and Infanta Elena attended the ceremony, since the Bulgarian family maintains good relations with the Spanish crown.

It was at the funeral of Prince Kardam of Bulgaria that we saw King Felipe and his sister Infanta Cristina together for the first time since the proclamation of the current monarch, estranged after the scandal of the Nóos case.

Before the death of her husband, De Ungría had already embarked on her own jewelry company. He founded MdeU in 2014 and four years later he decided to move to London.

Kardam’s memories of Bulgaria will always be there, but she has overcome adversity. “I don’t consider myself an example of anything. I think I am privileged. I think I have experienced very special moments. Obviously I wish nothing had happened, but it has been a journey that makes you live and mature,” he explained years ago.
