Renowned actress Beren Saat will play the title role in a new Turkish drama, titled ?Kösem Sultan.?

The Bulgarian Patriarch Neophyte held a memorial service marking forty days since the death of Prince Kardam, the eldest son of Bulgaria's last King and former Prime Minister Simeon Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.

The service, which was held in the Saint Sedmochislenitsi Church in Sofia on Saturday, was attended by members of the royal family and notable Bulgarians.

"Nobody asked for the King's return to politics, this is where incredible fantasies and myths have been set off," Bulgaria's last monarch and former PM has said.

The Duchess of Cambridge Catherine Middleton, who was admitted to hospital in the early stages of labour on Saturday, gave birth to a daughter.

Kensington Palace informed that the birth went well and both the duchess and the baby were doing well, the BBC reports.

The Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to a healthy baby girl, two hours after her arrival at St. Mary’s Hospital. She had entered the hospital earlier this morning (6 am local) and gave birth a couple of hours later.

Her husband, Prince William was present.

Prince William?s wife Kate has given birth to a girl at a London hospital, who will be fourth in line to the throne and the fifth grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II.
                   
In a brief statement, palace officials said the Duchess of Cambridge was admitted at 6 a.m. local time (0500 GMT) on May 2 at St. Mary?s Hospital. She traveled by car to the Lindo wing with William.

Princess Marie-Chantal of the Greek Republic, feeling nostalgic, shared a throwback wedding photo to the day she married the former Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece. The photo was taken 20 years ago in London on July 1, 1995, and she doesn't appear to have aged a day. Titled, "My Wedding Picture", the photo shows Marie-Chantal Miller in a Valentino wedding gown?

Princess Theodora, aged 32, the youngest daughter of the former king of Greece, Constantine, is known in the U.S., not as an obscure princess but a budding actress. She has appeared on the Bold and the Beautiful as well as Janna King's Boners and Other Mistakes at the Renegade Theater in Los Angeles. In credits, her name appears as Theodora Greece.

Prince Philippos, the youngest son of ex-king Constantine of Greece and Queen Anne-Marie of Denmark, would have been Greece's top bachelor had the country not been declared a republic in 1973. Instead, he took to New York's Wall Street and carved out a ludicrous career for himself as a financial analyst for a hedge fund.

Prince Kardam, the eldest son of Bulgaria's last King and former premier (2001-2005) Simeon Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, has passed away, BGNES reported.

Kardam, 52, passed away at 11:30 am on Tuesday at the Madrid university hospital of Sanchinarro from a respiratory infection after being permanently immobilised for nearly seven years.
