    Heartfelt condolences to all the members of the Spanish Royal Family.
    Princess Irene had such a remarkable personality and led such an eccentric/ nonconformist and inspirational Life.
    She was a free spirit, selfish and fond of meditation.
    A brilliant mind, too.
    I would have liked her and shared some aspects of her character for sure , if I had had the luck to meet her.
    A well spent Life , full of personal accomplishments.
    R.I.P., Madam, surrounded by all deserved honors and tributes🙏🌹

      Yes, she seemed to be selfless rather than selfish. It’s an easy typo to make!

    Very sad news from Spain (and Greece, and Denmark), indeed.

    Irene had her own style, colourful blouse with pants. In her younger days she was very fashionable. Perhaps her years of living in India influenced her choices later in life. She was an accomplished pianist. I especially like the blouse in the second photo, nice colours for her complexion. Always a pleasure to see her with her sister and the kings family.

    My condolences to the family and loved ones of Princess Irene. I feel especially for Queen Sofía as not only is Irene her sister but HM has also recently suffered the losses of dear friend, Princess Radziwill, and her brother, King Constantine, as well.
