Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Duchess was Spain's most photographed woman for decades—her 2011 wedding to Alfonso Díez, a civil servant 25 years her junior, dominated headlines and divided public opinion on whether she was empowering or embarrassing herself.
She once posed nude for a famous photographer at age 82, specifically to prove she still had 'the body'—the photos were never published during her lifetime per her estate's wishes.
