Pilar needed to renounce her rights of succession to the Spanish throne to marry a commoner as stipulated by the Pragmatic Sanction of Charles III on marriages of members of the royal family.

She married Don Luis Gómez-Acebo y Duque de Estrada, 2nd Viscount of La Torre, Grandee of Spain (23 December 1934 – 9 March 1991) on 5 May 1967 in Lisbon, Portugal at Jerónimos Monastery. They had five children.

The article is not quite correct, I am afraid. Under the terms of the Pragmatic Sanction, an unequal marriage concluded without the approval of the monarch would result in the automatic renunciation of dynastic rights. But if the monarch granted permission for an unequal marriage, the issue would still be excluded, but the parent could maintain her or his own dynastic rights.
