No, they didn't interview any other family members - and they only showed a few shots of Joséphine-Charlotte, Jean, Henri and Maria Teresa. I wished they'd interviewed Henri and Guillaume. Anyway, it's a real pity you missed it. The series was basically about King Christian IX of Denmark and his descendants across many of the royal houses of Europe.

She lived in NY for some time.

Pictures of Maria Teresa 1981-1983

1. birthday of Prince Guillaume on 11th November 1981 (what a nice picture:) )
2. Grand Duke Henri with his new born son
3.and 4. in the garden of Château de Fischbach (Fischbach Castle) with Grand Duke Jean and Grand Duchess Josephine Charlotte on 1.7.1982
5. and 6. 2nd anniversary of Prince Guillaume


Note: Grand Duchess Maria Teresa has dark hair on these pictures! But as a child she had brown hair and in the early 90s her hair was rather blonde. So certainly she dyed her hair.


Most of these pictures are in the unpractical bmp size and so they are not shown immidiately as pictures. Excuse me!

Who were Maria Theresa´s parents? Did they come from noble families?

Grand Duchess Maria Teresa was born in Havana, Cuba, on 22 March 1956, to José Antonio Mestre and Maria Teresa Batista-Falla de Mestre.
In October 1959, at the time of the revolution, Maria Teresa Mestre left Cuba with her parents. The family settled in New York where, as a young girl, she was a pupil at Marymount School.

That's some cutting of a report about Maria Teresa I found on the web and which I post a few posts ago in this thread. Her parents were rich, but not nobles. Her mother Maria Teresa Batista-Falla de Mestre was related with a certain Fulgencio Batista (1901-1973), the president of Cuba (1954-1955) and pro-american. I have found a report from him on the web and the adversary of Fidel Castro seems to be not a nice (quite a nasty) person (basing on all I read about him). He was involved in the Cuban Revolution in the fifties and lead a tough regime.


And here you find two links of this Fulgencio Batista: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulgencio_Batista
http://www.historyofcuba.com/history...cts/batist.htm


Note: It is perhabs because of the relationship to this Fulgencio Batista that Maria Teresa and her parents have to leave Cuba.:(
What's your opinion after reading the reports of him? If this is all true poor Maria Teresa certainly doesn't had a happy childhood! After all she was not responsible for a related person involved in a revolution!:(

Please don't take me wrong to write this article. You know that I respect and like Maria Teresa and this is not to harm her in anyway. I have only found this reports on the web and want to show it to you.
