Duchess of Alba Married Again At The Age of 85
MADRID - Maria del Rosario Cayetana Alfonsa Victoria Eugenia Francisca Fitz-James Stuart y de Silva (yes, that’s her name) is one of the richest women in Spain with estimated total property asset 850 million - and 5 billion U.S dollar. But for the Duchess of Alba (her nickname) all that money means nothing. He will soon hand them out to all her six children so she could marry the man she loved.
She was born at the Palace of Liria on March 28, 1926, as the only child of Don Jacobo Fitz-James Stuart y Falcó, 17th Duke of Alba, and Doña María del Rosario de Silva y Gurtubay, 9th Marquise of San Vicente del Barco. Her godmother was Queen Victoria Eugenia of Spain.
Sound like a plot of the novel, but that's what happened. Her children opposed the marriage, arguing that love is not pure prospective stepfather. Alfonso Diez, a civil servant is 24 years younger than their mother, allegedly only wanted his money.
