Как самая титулованная аристократка мира купила право выйти замуж у собственных детей. Каэтана Альба

Caetano Alba was born in March 1926 in Madrid and became the first and only child of the 17th Duke Alba and his wife Maria Less than a month later, the whole world of Spanish aristocracy gathered at the baptism of the baby Caetano's godparents were the Spanish king Alfonso XIII and his wife Queen Victoria Evgenia At the age of 6, Caetano first learned what real grief was His mother died, which the girl could not even approach for several months, since due to the threat of tuberculosis, the baby was not allowed to her After the death of his wife, Duke Alba did not marry for the second time, but completely devoted himself to the upbringing of his heiress He instilled in his daughter a love for sports Since childhood, Caetano Alba skated, jumped high, played tennis and danced flamenco By the way, her father also taught her to dance, whom she adored and considered an absolutely outstanding and very brave person On the day of the debut of the young Caetano Alba on April 28, 1943, she was beautiful in a white dress with collars And the day before, Father Stanuki, that's what her father called her, rejected the request of General Franco He asked Duke Alba to combine the debut of Caetano with the debut of his own daughter Carmencita, but was only worthy of a short answer She is not equal to us Caetano Alba was well-educated She was versed in art and spoke several foreign languages The upbringing of young dukes was done not only by the father, but also by the grandmother on the maternal line and the governess But only the father was allowed to give her advice and instructions, which she always listened to When Caetano, at the age of 16, first fell in love with the beauty of Tarrero, Pepe Luis Vasquez, her father immediately sent her to London, considering that the daughter was still too young, affectionate and impulsive However, in Great Britain, young Caetano literally fell in love with men She had a crazy success, but firmly learned this lesson from her father and got married only in 1947 to the aristocrat Luis Martinez de Erujo, whose candidacy was approved by her father In marriage, Caetano Alba was happy and gave birth to her husband six children, five sons and a daughter The baby Evgenia Martinez was born when the Duchess was already 42 years old And in 1972, the Duchess Alba got pregnant and six years later she got married again Her second marriage caused a real scandal in society Jesus Aguirre, a former Jesuit priest and director of the Department of Music of the Ministry of Culture, was 9 years younger than his wife and wrote his favorite revered poems The Duchess's children were against this union The elders even suspected the second husband of the mother in selfish interests Society reacted to this marriage with great discontent And not a single guest came to the reception in case of marriage But Caetano Alba was again in love and happy and could afford not to pay any attention to public opinion This marriage lasted 23 years until the last day of Jesus Aguirre's life, who died of cancer Ten years after the death of Jesus Aguirre, the Duchess Alba got married for the third time Her husband became a simple official of Sobesa, Alfonso Díez Carabantes For the first time she appeared in the light in his society in 2008 And already then she had to go to the reception of the Queen of Spain, Sofia, together with six children Caetano Alba wanted to marry Alfonso The children were categorically against not only the marriage of the mother, but also her relationship with Alfonso Then the Queen managed to persuade the Duchess to give in to the marriage But after three years Alba still went to her beloved who was newlyweds for 24 years The groom was not at all confused by the appearance of Caetano The face of the once first beauty of Spain has changed a lot because of the disease Melcherson rosenthal, which disfigured the face For some time, the Duchess tried to restore beauty with the help of plastic surgery and then made a choice in favor of nature Giving a vow of loyalty to her third husband, Caetano Alba hoped to live next to her beloved for many more years Her payment for happiness was a complete refusal of the Duchess Alba Caetano Alba refused to give up his titles, property and jewelry in favor of the children In turn, the marriage agreement meant that he would never claim the inheritance of the Duchess At the wedding, she flew again on the wings of love and demonstrated to others all her strength and passion, which reflected in her beloved dancer Flamenco The Duchess's husband admitted that he feels older than his wife While he calmly sunbathes in a chaise longue of a swimming pool, Caetano always makes him get up, run somewhere and do something She loved life, knew how to enjoy every moment and admitted, I have a very bad temper However, this did not prevent her from remaining a favorite of the Spaniards until the last day This is my life and I want to live it as brightly as possible, said Caetano Alba On November 20, 2014, she passed away
