She's not the King first cousin, her father is. She's daugther of HRH Prince Adam Czartoryski, son of HRH Princess Maria de los Dolores of Borbón Dos Scilias (sister of the later Contess of Barcelone, King Juan Carlos mother) and HRH Prince Jose Augusto Czartoryski.

I belive that she is HSH Princess Tamara Czartoryski (not Borbón, because isn't her last name)

Princess Tamara Czartoryski was on Australian Princess (the episode that just went on air tonight in Australia, Channel 10). Paul Burrell introduced Tamara as Princess Tamara Czartoryski (I think he also said Bourbon) to the four remaining contestants. Tamara introduced herself to the viewers, in private, to the camera man, as "the first cousin of the King of Spain" and that her title comes from the Polish side of the family.
Tamara was also accompanied by Princess Anna Theresa. Anna introduced herself, in private, to the camera man, as Princess Anna Theresa of (I couldn't exactly recall all of it but...here goes nothing...) Bourbon de Orleans (there were a lot more names preceeding the Bourbon-Orleans bit). Anna said that she was the "niece of the King of Spain". Anna also went on to say that her title comes from the Brazil-Portuguese side of the family.
Well, anyway Tamara and Anna went to a tea party that the four contestants were hosting. Tamara was on a table with Prince Michael (head [or soon to be head] of an important Polish noble family that "shaped Poland to what it is today". Prince Michael was acting as an undercover prince hence the name Mikush Sapieha) and two girls. Anna was (by herself) with two girls.
There was a lot of fuss made by Jean Broke-Smith over (one of the four contestants) Leanne not eating because Anna wasn't eating. There was another situation where Leanne made a mistake in regards to the tea, and realized her bobo when she was pouring the tea (pot) into Tamara's tea cup and swore infront of Tamara.
Just want to end by saying that Tamara looked very pretty and that Anna had a very strong accent.

looks like they're claiming all the connections they can muster up to the King of Spain just so they can legitimise their status. okay i'm being bad here, as they're all really related to the king, but this is just plain name-dropping of sorts to gain fame (which i think is a bad way).

The only Brazilian Anna Theresa I can find is (Princess) Ana Theresa, daughter of Prince Alberto Orléans-Bragança, but she was born in 1995. I'm not sure where the Australian Princess Anna Theresa fits in.

I assume this is Prince Michael Sapieha-Rozanski, who was born sometime after 1980. His mother is Princess Cristina Orléans-Bragança, and his father is Jean, Prince Sapieha-Rozanski. Michael's grandmother is more illustrious, being the sister of the Countess of Barcelona, the mother of the King of Spain.

The connections are interesting...
Take three Princesses of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, all sisters:

• Princess Dolores > grandmother of Princess Tamara Czartoryski
• Princess Maria de las Mercedes > mother of King Juan Carlos
• Princess Maria de la Esperanza > grandmother of Prince Michael Sapieha-Rozanski.

Tamara was in the second series of a TV show in Britain called The Games . It's where 'celebrities' compete in sports in order to win.

I say celebrities lightly as one of the contestents was the man who cheated his way to one million pounds on the British 'Who wants to be a millionaire?'!

[Paty]

I have to say that, we, the Spaniars dont know who is that Princess

[EmpressRouge]

Found this on youtube. Tamara has been name dropping on another "royal" show

[Von Schlesian]

Interesting, Tamara speaks of 'the' Polish Royal Family. Any Poles like to nominate which one of ther many Princely families is the Royal family?

[Lady Jennifer]

I *think* she was on American Princess as well.

[magnik]

Tamara's relationships with:
Juan Carlos I Relationship
Elizabeth II Relationship
Beatrix Relationship
Otto von Habsburg Relationship
Albert II of Belgium Relationship
Albert II of Monaco Relationship
Albert II von Thurn und Taxis Relationship

Thanks magnik for the links. Tamara doesn't seem all to bothered whether or not she introduces herself as the King of Spain's first cousin or just cousin. On Aussie Princess she intro. herself as the "first cousin" and in one of the video links above she was just the "cousin". I've always wanted to know what being "twice removed from the family" meant [could someone message me or tell me]?

Princess Anna Theresa looked certainly older [around 16-19] and was wearing clothes suited to [older] teen's.

Back on Aussie Princess...Prince Michael Sapieha is a magnificent artist. He drew the English country landscape for Amy.

Good point!
I recall reading a line or two about her family, what I can't remember is if it was in a bio book online or some magazine (Hola or Point de Vue?). But they are part of the King's extended family. And by that we are easily talking about every crowned and uncrowned head and aristocrat there is. If there is so much King name dropping must be because her family relations are closer to the Borbon-Spain than the other crowned heads around.

Here are some pictures of (as we say in Spanish speaking countries) of La Czartoryski:
Tamara Czartoryski
Tamara Czartoryski
Tamara Czartoryski

and her ancestor Adam Casimir, Prince Czartoryska (1734-1823)- 1793
"... statesman and candidate to the polish throne (1764) and later Austrian Field Marshal...


Now on the family:
History of Siedlce the 3rd paragraph mentions the family taking over a town in Poland:
..Additionally Siedlce was plundered during the Swedish invasion, destroyed by plagues and diseases spread by the occupation of various armies.
At that time the ruined city was taken over by the Czartoryski family, who taking care of the town's development, reinstated former privileges and granted the citizens favourable new ones in 1693, 1727 and 1728...

Their history in 18th Century Poland along with the Lubormirski and Poniatowski families

Prince Adam Jerzy Czartoryski and his quarrels with the Ottoman Empire in the 19th Century

And last bonus link:
the name with a different spelling as Chartoriyski’s (Czartoryski) family, this link talks about another branch of this very international family. When you scroll down click on the link that says 'castles'. It provides a map with historical castle locations, I can't understand the language (German?) but maybe someone of our fellow Royal Forum members could tell us if they belong to the Czartoryski family.


Hope this short history and trivia about La Czartoryski and her kin gives you all something interesting to read about the young celebrity aristocrats.
Good night
