Princess Victoria Eugenia (Ena) of Battenberg and Princess Beatrice (Bee) of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, granddaughters of Queen Victoria of United Kingdom, married into the Spanish royal family.

In 1906 Ena became the consort of King Alfonso XIII, who had been sovereign since his birth in 1886. Three years later Bee married his cousin, Infante Don Alfonso de Orleans (Ali). Ena's marriage proved unhappy with the ill-health of her haemophiliac sons and her husband's infidelities. The King abdicated in 1931, and they led separate lives in exile until he died in 1941.

Bee and her husband Ali were more popular, although personal differences between them and the King resulted in their temporary exile for the first years of their marriage, they later returned to Spain, staying there for the rest of their lives. Bee died in 1966 and Ena three years later.

This dual biography, written by Anna de Sagrera with additional material from Dona Beatriz, Bee's granddaughter, looks in depth at the friendship of the mutually supportive cousins against the often turbulent background of twentieth century Spanish politics.

Apart from the Queen of Italy, whose marriage was exceptionally brilliant, the other Princesses of Montenegro were all wedded to men with numerous advantages of position and fortune. The eldest, Militza, became the wife of the Grand Duke Peter Nicolaievitch, with whom she has been always exceptionally happy. The second, Anastasia, or Stana, after a few years of a tempestous and stormy union with Duke George of Leuchtenberg, succeeded in obtaining a divorce from him, and remarried very soon afterwards the Grand Duke Nicholas, the brother of her sister's husband and the present Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Army. As for the third one, Princess Anna, she is the consort of handsome Prince Francis Joseph of Battenberg, the brother-in-law of Princess Beatrice of Battenberg, and the most amiable man. The Princesses Xenia and Vera are still unmarried and the King is not without hope that he may yet in time arrange a union for one or the other of them with another member of the Russian Imperial Family, either one of the sons of the same Grand Duke Constantine who is the father-in-law of the Princess Hélène of Servia, or with one of the boys of Grand Duke Alexander and of the Grand Duchess Xenia, the sister of the Tsar. He has been so lucky hitherto in the establishment of his children that he is in a certain sense justified in indulging in such an ambition; and one thing is certain, and that is, that if such a marriage ever takes place it will be immensely popular in Russia, where Montenegro and its ruler are in possession of the warmest sympathies, and count far more partisans than is generally known in the rest of Europe.

The A to Z of the royal wedding

New Post has been published on https://harryandmeghan.xyz/the-a-to-z-of-the-royal-wedding/

The A to Z of the royal wedding

Here’s an A to Z of Princess Eugenie’s forthcoming royal wedding:

The Queen’s granddaughter is marrying tequila brand-ambassador Jack Brooksbank at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle on October 12.

Andrew – Proud father the Duke of York, the Queen’s third child, will walk his youngest daughter down the aisle.

Beatrice – Eugenie’s big sister Beatrice is her maid of honour. The sisters are very close, but had their worst ever fight when one stole the other’s Converse trainers, they revealed to British Vogue magazine.

Carriage – The bride and groom will take a carriage ride through Windsor after the ceremony but will not go up the Long Walk like the Duke and Duchess of Sussex did when they married in the same venue in May.

Days – The celebration is said to be lasting two days, beginning with the church service, day reception and evening reception on the Friday and continuing with further festivities throughout Saturday.

Eugenie – The 28-year-old bride is the Queen’s granddaughter and ninth in line to the throne.  She is an associate director of an art gallery and also patron of several charities.

Fergie – The mother of the bride is Sarah, Duchess of York, formerly Sarah Ferguson, and dubbed Fergie.  For years, she was cast into the royal wilderness, amid her split from the Duke of York, and the various scandals that ensued.

Green – The bride and groom are committing to having an environmentally friendly wedding by making it anti-plastic.

Heirloom – Will the Queen loan Eugenie one of her tiaras for her big day or will the princess wear the York tiara worn by her mother at her wedding in 1986?

Invites – Some 800 people, 200 more than at Harry and Meghan’s nuptials– will gather in St George’s Chapel, and attend the afternoon reception afterwards, hosted by the Queen in St George’s Hall. Around 1,200 members of the public have been given balloted invites to the castle’s Lower Ward, as have charity representatives, children from Eugenie’s old schools, and Royal Household staff.

Jack – Mr Jack Brooksbank is the UK brand ambassador for Casamigos Tequila, which was co-founded by actor George Clooney. The 32-year-old Stowe-educated socialite used to be the manager of Mayfair hotspot Mahiki.

Kiss – Royal fans will be hoping to see Eugenie and Jack kiss on the West Steps of the gothic 15th century chapel, just as Harry and Meghan did.

Love at first sight – Jack admitted it was love at first sight when he was introduced to the princess on a ski trip to Verbier.

Myrtle – Eugenie’s bouquet will undoubtedly have a sprig of myrtle in it as is the tradition for royal brides, dating back to the 1850s.

Nicknames – Jack calls his bride-to-be “Eug”. But her mother calls her “Eugie Boogie”, while to her friend Cressida Bonas, she is “pooch face”.

O­­­ctober – The wedding is taking place in October, but the couple had their heart set on September. This did not fit in with royal diaries. The Queen stays up in Balmoral in the Scottish highlands until early October.

Philip – The Duke of Edinburgh has never forgiven his former daughter-in-law Fergie for embarrassing the royal family in the wake of her split from Andrew. It will be the first time they have been in such close proximity for many years.

In happier times, the Queen with, Sarah Ferguson, Prince Andrew and the Duke of Edinburgh on the palace balcony in 1986 (PA)

Queen – The Queen will be there. She could give Jack a title on the morning of the wedding or even offer the couple a new home as a wedding present.

Royal Lodge – The evening reception is said to be taking place at Royal Lodge, the home the Duke of York shares with his ex-wife Sarah in Windsor Great Park.

Sussex – All eyes will be Meghan, as she returns to the chapel for the first time since she wed Harry there just five months ago.

Meghan and Harry will be guests at the wedding (Victoria Jones/PA)

Taxpayer – The taxpayer will foot the bill for police presence at the wedding, with the inclusion of a carriage ride increasing the security costs.

Uniform – Jack is not a military man so there will be no uniforms at this royal wedding. Morning coats, or day dress with hat, are the order of the day.

Victoria – Eugenie was named after one of Queen Victoria’s granddaughters, Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg, who was born in 1887. Her name is pronounced “Yoo-junnee”

Welsh Gold – Royal brides are traditionally given wedding rings made from gold nuggets from Clogau St David’s mine at Bontddu in North Wales and usually presented with the precious metal as a gift from the Queen.

X – Exes – Cressida Bonas and Chelsy Davy, who both dated Harry, are good friends of Eugenie’s and likely to be invited.

York – Eugenie is a princess of York. The Archbishop of York John Sentamu will lead the prayers during the service.

Zara – Zara and Mike Tindall are expected to be among the royal guests, along with the Cambridges, the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall, and other members of the Windsor family.
