Thanks for these pics. Infanta Margarita clearly resembles her mother, Doña Mercedes.

Question: why he married her?
There was no other candidates for King's daughter-in-law?

Well, she was the daughter of an Infante of Spain and a French Princess, so she came from an excellent family; and maybe, - but this is only a speculation of mine - considering the previous marriages of his two brothers to a commoner and a noblewoman, whichever Royal woman could have been a good match...

Yes, you're right SLV; while King Juan Carlos rather resembles his mother...
