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...

I wonder if the couple enjoy their wedding? They have to entertain a lot of guests... and I mean loads of them. Plus they don't get to have fun that much, every move they make are being watched.

I fear this is a problem for most of the brides and grooms on the day of their weddings...
