I suppose Alejandra de Borbon is a rather unique name, which means that she is editor of the magazine Citizen K, look here.

Wouldn't this thread overlap with the Bourbons of France as well as Italy, which we already discuss in their respective country forums here?

[Marengo]

No, these are collateral branches of the Spanish branch of the Bourbon family, so hence they are discussed here. Only Luis Alfonso de Borbon is moved to the french forum as he is the legitimist pretender to the French throne. The extended Borbon family that is discusse here is usually added to the SpanishRF genealogy in the Almanach de Gotha, and other genealogy sources.
