Not much is known about it. Some books refer to the guy and they all say it is unsure if it was an actual relationship. Her parents found him unsuitable anyway, so the guy didn't have a chance (Prince Friso has 'David' as one of his names btw). It was in the early sixties when there was a major earthquake in Persia, don't know the exact year from the top of my head.

Well cousins aren't that bad are they? I've got a 2nd cousin who is absolutely gorgeous. It can work - although I'd draw the line at brothers. Although I haven't got a brother so it wouldn't be an issue.

After Felipe she had a relationship with Javier Soto, ended also she has a nice doughter but she spent the last 8 years quite alone, she got a kind of depression when she got many many kilos, she does not look to have a full accomplished life.

It isn't that damaging either, for reproduction I mean. The social stigma of marrying a cousin is bigger then the actual damage (that is, with one generation of cousin marriages).

1. Endogamy isn't always good, check the Borbon family on that, the infamous nose survived for centuries because of marriages between cousins.
2. Infanta Elena dated Luis Astolfi, an spanish horseman and Infanta Cristina dated Fernando Leon, sailing gold medallist in Seul'88 and Álvaro Bultó, spanish champion of rallys in motorcycle (she seems to like the sporty type ); she also supposedly dated Phillippe of Belgium and Dmitri of Yugoslavia, but I don't believe that.
3. Prince Felipe has an "invented" romance with Gwyneth Paltrow as well
4. Princess Stephanie dated (along with maaany others ) Paul Belmondo, Jean Paul Belmondo's son in the 80's
5. Didn't the Duke of York date a porn actress?

LIFE IS NOT FAIR...
Isabel Sartorius got a very bad deal... and for the silliest of reasons: supposedly because her parents were divorced. But there she was: educated, noble - father is a marquis- presentable etc.

Then came poor Eva. I must admit she did not have a whole lot going for her except "attractive" and multi-lingual; fact is she did not have much in terms of formal education (but then neither did the formidable, late Lady DI in the UK)
What did her in is the media: mean, nasty, judgemental. It would have been difficult for anyone to recover from these newspaper attacks.

Good thing that came out of the Eva situation is that Felipe learned a great deal from that experience. Enter Letizia: educated, professional, but with a bit of a past. He kept Letizia hidden until the big anouncement. At that point she was officially announced as the future queen, it was harder for media to openly disrespect her.
TIMING AND STRATEGY ....

Koo Stark wasn't a "porn actress" as we know the term. She appeared in just the one "erotic" film, 'Emily', directed by the Earl of Pembroke, and shown on HBO in the United States. The Duke of York is godfather to her daughter.

More tellingly, Koo Stark has never spoken publicly about her relationship with Prince Andrew, and in the 80s she refused big money offers from the London tabloids (up to half a million pounds) to kiss and tell. Absolute discretion, and all class.

What about Katherine of Aragon who married 2 brothers, each prince of wales at the time. This was not an uncommon phenomenon at a time when treaties and alliances of state were paramount

She wasnt a porn star as in actually did 'it' on screen. It was more along the lines of her having a soft focus 'nude' shower scene...alone i might add
