The Albas break ties with Genoveva Casanova after the scandal of her photos with Federico of Denmark

In the Alba family they have always seen Genoveva Casanova with suspicion. But the photos of the Mexican with the crown prince of Denmark have dynamited the last (and fragile) bridges that the children of the duchess with whom she was the wife of Cayetano Martínez de Irujo, the favorite son of the Duchess of Alba.

Upon her arrival in Spain and at the beginning of her relationship with the horseman, Genoveva was considered a careerist who maintained an inconsistent relationship with the Count of Salvatierra. And a few weeks after they met, she became pregnant with twins Luis and Amina. Cayetano reacted as he should: he took charge of the situation and, although it took him a long time to marry her, he ended up assuming that they could become a happy marriage.

The Duchess of Alba chose as her daughter-in-law that girl with a sweet and smiling character who could guide a son who couldn’t quite focus and find his place. But above all, what Cayetana liked most was that Mar Flores, whom the aristocrat detested, was forgotten behind her.

The wedding did not serve to forge the happiness of the marriage but it did serve to give Casanova a status, which, despite the divorce, placed her socially. Being the daughter-in-law of the Duchess of Alba opened doors for her, gave her a position in the Casa de Alba Foundation, and provided her with advertising income. But Genoveva never managed to achieve anything through her own merits and she has lived since then on the financial support of her ex-husband. Her romances with Luis Miguel, José María Michavila o Gonzalo Vargas Llosa, among others that we do not know, they did not end in anything concrete either.

With Cayetano, however, he has maintained a close and constant relationship, although it has drawn attention that within their good relations, Genoveva always appeared as inseparable from the rider and his current girlfriend, Barbara Mirjan Aliende, a very young businesswoman, discreet and prudent, who, despite being 33 years younger, has given stability and support to the Duke of Arjona, the aristocrat’s current title.

A few years ago, as we previewed from Informalia, Carlos Fitz-James Stuart, Duke of Alba, decided to exclude Genoveva of the family dinner that the Albas celebrate every Christmas at the Liria palace. The duke argued that Genoveva and Cayetano were divorced and she was no longer part of the family. Again, with a gentleman’s reaction, Cayetano responded to his brother’s veto, refusing to attend the palace dinner with his children Luis and Amina, who were invited. Since then he has celebrated Christmas Eve at Casanova’s house with the Mexican woman and her children.

Genoveva’s photos with Frederick of Denmark They have fallen like a bomb on the House of Alba. Cayetano has literally said: “This matter does not concern me,” Eugenia He has avoided responding to journalists, and the rest of the Albas do everything possible not to speak out. Meanwhile, Luis and Amina, who work and study in England, will come home for Christmas, overwhelmed by enduring questions from their mother.

Danish mille-feuille, a dessert that is too indigestible for the Albas

The husband of Mary Donaldson He traveled to Madrid on October 25 and shared a walk through El Retiro with Genoveva. After her they went together to her residence, where they got ready to go to dinner in a booth in El Corral de la Morería. At dawn, once everyone had left the tablao, they returned to Genoveva’s house, after one in the morning. Prince Frederick went up to Genevieve’s apartment and spent seven hours there. He left the house early in the morning, carrying his own suitcase.

The Mexican issued a statement denying that there is “a romantic relationship” between them but, regardless of the nature of the relationship between Genoveva and Queen Margarita’s son, the majority of the Albas have decided that this scandal is too saccharine dessert to that Cayetano’s ex-wife is part of their lives.
