Cavalier Spaniard Cross
Much to the quite obvious dis belief of many of the people attending the Duchess of Alba married her "toy boy" yesterday in Seville.
25 years her junior at a spritely sixty years old (she is 85) Alfonso Diez looks mildly concerned rather than happy.
The Duchess who is a distant relative of Winston Churchill, I can see the resemblance, apparently shocked her 6 children by announcing the wedding.
Not as much as she shocked the guests by taking her shoes off.
The Duchess is in the Guinness Book of Records as having more titles than any other noble.
Her full name is Maria del Rosario Cayetana Alfonsa Victoria Eugenia Francisca Fitz-James Stuart y de Silva.
Media are calling it a Fairy Tale wedding but the role of Cinderella is yet to be filled.
