Spanish Duchess Marries at 85

6 October 2011 By

One of Spain’s most eccentric and wealthy aristocrat’s, the Duchess of Alba, has tied the knot at the age of 85 to a civil servant 25 years her junior named Alfonso Diez.

Crowds gathered outside the southern Spanish city of Seville’s Duenas Palace – just one of several luxurious residences owned by the billionaire Duchess.
It was a relatively intimate ceremony, attended by her family and a few friends. A flamenco singing troupe, at least two bullfighter guests and innumerable bunches of roses, sunflowers and carnations formed part of the celebration.

The Duchess’s inherited wealth is estimated at up to €3.5 billion. There have been numerous reports about how her children were against the marriage, however she won through by distributing her wealth to them and her fiancée also relinquished any rights to her fortune.

Commenting on her husband earlier this year, the Dutchess said: ”Alfonso doesn’t want anything. All he wants is me.”

Cries of ”Guapa!” or ”Good-looking!” welcomed the grand lady when she appeared at the palace gates for the ceremony, dressed in a pink wedding dress with a green ribbon around her waist. She responded by dancing a few spontaneous flamenco steps.

Having been widowed twice before, third time seems to be the charm for the sprightly aristocrat.
