Thanks, Biri.
Are all the children of Inigo Moreno-y-de-Arteaga Marquess of Laserna & Princess Teresa of Bourbon surnamed Moreno-y-de-Borbon, or did Alfonso inherit the Moreno-y-de Borbon title?

[Biri]

Yes, all of them are surnamed Moreno y de Borbon.
The title of Marquess of Laserna will be inherited by their firstborn son Rodrigo (b.1962) when the Marquess dies.
And giving the fact that Rodrigo is childless, his heir will probably by his sister Alicia (b.1964) and after her - her son Inigo Hernandez y Moreno (b.2000).

That's terrible news. Has it only leaked today?

I'm afraid she had little ownership of her own life once the king decided to marry her.

[Biri]

No, not today; recently another wife of the King died from skin cancer (also very young) and the article mentioned that she followed Inkhosikati LaMasango, who apparently committed suicide last year.
I checked this thread and noticed that nobody mentioned her death here so I decided to update it.
