Of Alba's House to Guimerà
20 times Great of Spain, Maria del Rosario Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart y Silva known by the title of Duchess of Alba is, from the last 6th of September, the flaming Countess of Guimerà.

Spotlight | Spanish aristocrats lose their glamour | Indiainteracts.com
SPANISH ARISTOCRATS LOSE THEIR GLAMOUR
With all their tax and other privileges (such as that of obtaining a diplomatic passport) having been abolished decades ago, the bearers of hereditary aristocratic titles are "limited to keeping alive the memory of a moment in our historic past," the government said in a 2006 legal bulletin.
The bulletin was announcing a law ending one of the last aristocratic traditions: the first right of sons to inherit titles before daughters.
The aristocracy no longer exists as a class, neither economically, nor socially, nor culturally," said publisher Jacobo Martinez de Irujo, one of the Duchess of Alba's six children
...
"Aristocrats cannot even be distinguished for the quality of their education," he told the daily El Pais.

I think that Rafael de Medina is now dating a lady called Genevova de Casanova, is she related to the husband of Archduchess Monika, Don Luis de Casanova, Duke of Sanangelo.

Genoveva Casanova is Mexican, and is separated from Cayetano Martínez de Irujo, Count of Salvatierra and son of the Duchess of Alba. She is a friend of Rafael Medina, at this moment, after her separation every man who approaches Genoveva is a supposed boyfriend, but for the present time nothing of nothing is of certainly in this history.
