It seems that Carmen was unable to attend

Does anybody know who the lady with the starf is, next to Borja? She does not look like his wife, Blanca.

IIRC Francesca has one brother and two halfbrothers, all of whom we seldom see at these kind of society events.

Re Painting "Man In A Chair (Portrait Of Baron Thyssen)" that's an odd pose and reflection on those fingers.

It's Andrea Levy. She's the Delegate for Culture, Tourism and Sports of the Madrid City Council

Is she still styled as an archduchess?

Is she still styled as an archduchess?

I would assume she reverted to her previous style Baroness Francesca von Thyssen-Bornemisza post divorce?

I think, she looks quite like an older version of the new Princess of Bavaria Sophie-Alexandra (Evekink)...

I think, she looks quite like an older version of the new Princess of Bavaria Sophie-Alexandra (Evekink)...

She reminds me a bit of Fergie, too. (I guess it's the red hair.)

 

[lucien]

Oh heck no,really!They are as far apart as the sun and the moon.
Francesca being both,and the mother to the Heir,well,racing driver....

 

[SirGyamfi1]

She reminds me a bit of Fergie, too. (I guess it's the red hair.)

Well, they’re both of Scottish origin and from landed gentry (Fergie via her father, Francesca via her mother) and both of their families had ties to the British royal family. They’re also a bit unconventional in their own ways. They’re both in their sixties and are divorced. The two women both have two daughters. Fergie’s a granny and so is Francesca.

 

[SirGyamfi1]

He's entitled to his opinion.. like any public or private person. I dont really think that its a good idea to cling to royal status when ones' country has siad "we dont want a royal family".. but if he does do good work as a fomer member of the RF its acceptable...

I don’t think he’s clinging to anything

Archduke Karl has undergo surgery this week because he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.

The procedure went well & it is unlikely that chemotherapy will be necessary.

How Archduke Georg would have liked to be the Head of the House instead of Karl !
