Kardam, Prince of Tarnovo, Duke of Saxony (2 December 1962 – 7 April 2015), was the eldest son of King Simeon II of Bulgaria and his wife Doña Margarita Gómez-Acebo y Cejuela. Kardam was born after the abolition of the Bulgarian monarchy. As such, it was only by courtesy that he was sometimes styled as if being a crown prince. He was known also as Kardam of Bulgaria and Kardam of Tarnovo, the latter being the title of the heir apparent of the Bulgarian throne.
He was born in Madrid, was baptised into the Orthodox faith and had a master's degree in Agricultural Economics from Penn State University.
In Madrid, on 11 July 1996, Kardam married Doña Miriam Ungría y López, born in Madrid on 2 September 1963, a gemologist and a historian, daughter of Don Bernardo Ungría y Goiburu, honorary president of the Colegio Heráldico de España y de las Indias and author of Los Títulos Nobiliarios Utilizados Como Distantivos Comerciales, and his wife, Doña María del Carmen López y Oleaga, both of Basque descent, paternal granddaughter of Alfonso Ungría y Gargallo (1893 - 21 December 1965) and wife María del Pilar Goiburu y Careche, great-granddaughter of Agustín Ungría y Castro (1847 - Madrid, 5 October 1930) and wife María de la Visitación Gargallo y Lahoz (1870 - Madrid, 10 March 1946), and great-great-granddaughter of Mariano Ungría y Bordería and wife Ana María de Castro.
They had two sons, who are first and second, respectively, in the line of succession to the now-defunct Bulgarian throne: Boris (b. 12 October 1997 in Madrid) and Beltrán (b. 23 March 1999 in Madrid).
