Jaime was the only one born prior to his parent's marriage about 8 years later... The second eldest sibling was born two years into their marriage.
I still wonder what exactly happened; did his father not get permission to marry and is that the reason they waited so long? And is this the 'rule' for the nobility in Spain that children that were born out of wedlock can get not only titles but als the 'royal highness' prefix when their parents marry at a later stage (or is this up to the head of the house as defunct Italian titles)?
Canon Law, I am told, recognizes children as legitimate if the parents marry after the birth (and if there were no obstacles to the marriage.) Thus, Jaime is legitimate and the heir. Scottish law allows legtimated children inherit peerages (Scottish peerages)
Where can I find more news about this?
One Spanish newspaper had a story yesterday as well - providing the same basic information as our sources were the same. I added information to what I received my my source.
