Infanta of Spain Eulalia

Raised as the youngest daughter of Queen Isabella II of Spain, she spent part of her childhood in exile after the 1868 revolution. She later married Antonio, Duke of Galliera, and was known as the Duchess of Galliera, though her life was marked as much by independence and controversy as by royal ceremony.

She is especially remembered for her writing. In memoirs and other books, she reflected frankly on royal life, politics, and society, earning a reputation for speaking more openly than many of her relatives would have liked.

That mix of rank, travel, and candor makes her an unusual figure among European royals of her era. She lived from 1864 to 1958, long enough to witness enormous changes in Spain and across Europe, and her published recollections remain a window into that world.
