The king being asked to pose for these dreadful selfies outside the cemetery after the funeral was a tad too much!Another video of the funeral:

The Duke of Soria is so devoted to the Infanta and they are a wonderful couple!I saw in live the arriving of the guests, I supose Grandees of Spain and friends , they all know each other well and a lot of warm Kissings. It lasted one hour before before the arrival of the King and the Queen.
I was impressed by the arrival of Infante Margarita . How devoted is her old husband Dr Carlos Zurita.
The Widow of Don Fernando was there with their Son. Both were kissed by King Juan Carlos and King Felipe.
Hew was the youngest of 5 children so certainly he would not have become King but probably his oldest brother Juan FilibertoGlad to see the family be together despite of being a sad moment for all of them. Princess Pilar, mother of Fernando, was the oldest child of Juan Carlos' father. Imagine had Franco selected her and not the kid brother Fernando would have been the king if only for a brief period of time. Rest in peace.
Thanks Stephan, it's 7:57 AM and I need more coffee to get my genealogy brain to work!Hew was the youngest of 5 children so certainly he would not have become King but probably his oldest brother Juan Filiberto
I disagree because I grew up hoping for a restoration, and the country to be stabilized with a dignified King, yet the later only occurred with the current king.Spain needed a King , No need of an Infanta.
The Infanta renounced her succession right upon marriage to Don Luis,Viscount la Torre in 1967.Glad to see the family be together despite of being a sad moment for all of them.

I just remembered an historical footnote on Pilar, she was supposed to marry and become Queen of Belgium, which would have led her children to a totally different life.
I think watching Marvel's multi-universe series is ruining my mind with alternative realities for Pilar today.
Doña Fabiola de Mora was a lady in waiting to the Infanta I believe and the king fell for the lady Fabiola over the Infanta Pilar. |
He had no title except for the honorific style His Excellency Don Fernando/Lord Fernando ,not sure if that extends to his son?Coming back to the thread, Don Fernando never divorced what are the titles of his Widow and his Son.?
No, this treatment is for the children of infantes and infantas and is for life, their children do not inherit it and their spouses can't use it either..
