In 1936, on an estate outside Madrid, a one-year-old girl lost her father, mother, and grandmother in less than 100 days. Decades later, that same girl entered the Bulgarian government palace, on the arm of the man that country had dethroned as a child. She never gave an interview to tell her story.
