He is in the pudridero since 1985 so already well over 25 years.

There is no public celebration, the monks of the monastery make the transfer in a private act.

Ah; interesting, so it would seem there are two "stages" to burial in the El Escorial. I wonder why Infante Jaime's remains weren't moved sooner since as has already been pointed out, it's already been 25 years since 1985.

The remains of Jaime's mother Queen Ena were also left the pudridero for over 40 years before royal entombment.
Though a gruesome job, the gathering of the bones must be "cleaner work" when so much extra time has been allotted. The process reminds me of the Towers of Silence and similar ancient cultural practices, except they mostly rely/relied on carrion birds and meat-eating animals to speed up the skeletonization process.

Thanks for the additional information. It would seem that Jaime's remains are following in those of his mother's footsteps.

Only that his remains will find their last place in the Pantheon of the Infantes not in the Pantheon of the Kings.
Actually everyone who is buried at the Escorial has to go through this Procedur that the remains are first put in the Pudrideor for some time before finding their last place.
I think the only example who did not have to go through it was the remains of King Alfonso XIII. After his death in 1941 he was buired in Rome and when they where transferred to the Escorial in the 1980's they where directly put it the Pantheon of the Kings.

TRH The Count and Countess I believe are still reposing in the El Pudridero chamber and that there is currently no more space at the Pantheon of the Kings.

There are two last places which are for the Count and Countess of Barcelona. King Juan Carlos decided that they should be buired as ithey had reigned as King and Queen but this decision means that for him and Queen Sofia will be no places in the Pantheon of the Kings.

They are resting in the pudridero of the Pantheon of the Kingfs. There are two pudrideros one for the Pantehon of the Kings and one for the Pantheon of the Infantes.

It's quite fitting anyway that the creators of the "new monarchy" should start a new tradition somewhere else.

I hope that they will continue the Tradition and also be buried at the Escorial.

There was talk about extending the Royal Vaults sometime ago but I've not heard anything of late.

Infante Jaime attended a shoot at the estates of the Count de Leiva at Fuenlabrado on December 6, 1927.

Is that in any way linked to Infanta Pilar's decision not to be interred in the Pantheon of the Infantes?

Unfortunately, after Iñaki Urdangarin's imprisonment, I suspect in the foreseeable future the Royal Family will view it as the safer course of action to leave the morganatic spouses without any title at all.

The Duchy of Segovia reverted back to the crown upon the Infante's death in 1975 and has not been recreated since.
The Duke held the Following Royal Orders
Knight of The Order of the Golden Fleece
Knight of the Order of Carlos III
Night of the Order of Isabel la Católica
Knight of the Order of the Elephant
