The Bulgarian monarchy was abolished in 1946. The last reigning monarch was HM Tsar Simeon II of Bulgaria, who is now the currect head of the Bulgarian Royal Family. The law of succession of the family is agnatic primogeniture. Thus therefore, only males can succeed Simeon II, leading to the theoretical order of succession to the Bulgarian throne:

Kardam, Prince of Turnovo, Duke of Saxony(born 2 December 1962)^[1]
Prince Boris of Bulgaria, Duke of Saxony (born 10 October 1997)^[1]
Prince Beltran of Bulgaria, Duke of Saxony (born 23 March 1999)^[1]
Kyril, Prince of Preslav, Duke of Saxony (born 11 July 1964)^[1]
Prince Tassilo of Bulgaria, Duke of Saxony (born 20 January 2002)^[1]
Kubrat, Prince of Panagyurishte, Duke of Saxony (born 5 November 1965)^[1]
Prince Mirko of Bulgaria, Duke of Saxony (born 26 April 1995)^[1]
Prince Lukás of Bulgaria, Duke of Saxony (born 15 July 1997)^[1]
Prince Tirso of Bulgaria, Duke of Saxony (born 3 June 2002)^[1]
