The death of Cesar Alierta at 78 years old he has left very alone Isabel Sartorius. Their relationship, which lasted almost four years, had already ended after the pandemic but the former president of Telefónica and the ex-girlfriend of Philip of Bourbon They went on to maintain a good friendship. Alierta was a great emotional and also financial support for the daughter of the Marquis of Mariño. She not only gave him a job, as head of cooperation actions in a company that she worked for the Telefónica Foundation. Also, when Sartorius left this position and their romantic relationship was consolidated, Alierta made him leave the apartment on Miguel Ángel Street, where she had resided for years, so that he could settle in a large luxury apartment in the same neighborhood. of Chamberí, in which they discreetly came to believe.
In the hard times of Covid, they were forced to live from a distance and in 2021, they went through a crisis, to which the nephews of the businessman, a widower and childless, were not immune. She was too visible for the press, given her media past as the first girlfriend of the future King Felipe, as a single mother of Mencía Fitz-James, the daughter that Isabel had with Javier Soto, the relative of the Duchess of Alba with whom Isabel was about to get married, and the interest that always aroused in the media. Among other romances, apart from the one that everyone remembers with the son of Don Juan Carlos and Doña Sofía, Isabel's relationship with Fernando Ballvé, owner of Campofrío and Telepizza, when this millionaire suffered from skin cancer that led to metastasis. Too much sentimental resume for Alierta's family, also reluctant, for their part, to be in the focus of the press.
The forced physical separation due to the pandemic, experienced separately, precipitated the breakup but did not break their friendship. They continued to have sporadic encounters. The businessman was always attentive to Sartorius's financial needs, unable to focus his life on a concrete and solid job, although he turns 59 in a week, on January 20.
They took care of each other when they were bad.
The large apartment in Chamberí was changed for a more normal one for her alone after her daughter Mencía became independent upon returning to Spain after studying in the United States. That move took place when Alierta went through serious health crises due to her heart problems. So, Isabel was attentive to her evolution. In turn, she, as we mentioned in this digital article, suffered a broken hip that left her immobilized. Isabel never lacked Alierta's attention and her unconditional support.
However, this latest relapse that has led to the death of one of the most important businessmen in the history of Spain occurred in Zaragoza, the birthplace of the man who made Telefónica great, surrounded by his nephews and with Isabel without being able to say goodbye to him, separated by the family.
Since the death of Vincent Sartorius, married to the princess Nora from Liechtenstein, his second wife, Isabel always had the help of her father's wife, but Nora had a daughter with Vicente, María Teresa, to whom she is very close. The princess cannot dedicate her entire life to satisfying the needs of her stepdaughter. Isabel faces an uncertain and lonely future, difficult to predict.
