Prince Karl Boris Frank Markwart of Leiningen (born 17 April 1960) is the elder son of Prince Karl of Leiningen and of his wife, Princess Marie Louise of Bulgaria. As a third great-grandson of Queen Victoria, he is in the line of succession to the throne of United Kingdom and those of the other Commonwealth realms.

Biography

Boris was born in Toronto, Ontario. He is the grandson of King Boris III of Bulgaria and the great-grandson of King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy. As a descendant of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, her great-great-great grandson, he is in the line of succession to the throne of Canada and those of the other Commonwealth realms.
