Princess Kalina of Bulgaria responds to media buzz on her transformation: 'I am an athlete'

52-year-old Princess Kalina of Bulgaria is Internet's favorite obsession since May this year after she made her public appearance after a gap of four years. She was reportedly last seen in January 2020 and then she attended a funeral ceremony on May 29 along with her husband Antonio José (Kitin) Muñoz Valcárcel and their son, Simeon-Hassan Muñoz.
All what the Internet gawked at were her muscular arms.How long has she been sporting such an athletic frame, social media users wondered and scouted for her soft era images
The princess has, however, reacted to the media buzz over her muscular appearance and said she is an athlete, dedicated to train with weights.
Princess Kalina of Bulgaria is the only daughter and the fifth child of King Simeon and Queen Margarita. From an early age, the princess had a penchant for art. After graduating from the Lycée Français and continuing her studies at the English College in Madrid, Kalina relocated to London for university, where she obtained a degree in History of Art.
Princess Kalina of Bulgaria and her ever-changing apperance
This is not the first time that the princess shocked with her unrecognizable appearance. In the early 2000s, she was rumored to have undergone a major facial surgery. Some reports say Kalina sought the help of a dentist in London, in 1999, to replace her broken teeth with crowns, but after complications, the princess contracted an infection that spread into her nasal cartilage.
Her husband Kitin addressed controversies over his wife's appearance and once said that in her childhood she met an unfortunate accident. "All the absurd theories of Kalina's different operations and aesthetic treatments are nothing more than misinformation," her husband said in 2018, revealing that his wife had suffered an accident aged eight resulting in her losing two front teeth.
In 2002, Kalina married Kitin, a Spanish sea navigator and explorer and UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador. Their son Simeon-Hassan was born in March 2007.
