Princess Marie Louise of Bulgaria (Bulgarian: Княгиня Мария Луиза Българска; born 13 January 1933) also known as Marie Louise Borisova Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, is the daughter of Tsar Boris III and Tsaritsa Ioanna and the older sister of Simeon II of Bulgaria.[2] Her baptism in the Bulgarian Orthodox Church caused controversy at the time because her mother had promised to raise her children as Catholics.[3] After the change in house laws into absolute primogeniture by her brother King Simeon II, Princess Marie Louise became the head of the house of House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha-Koháry.[4]
