María Teresa de Borbón Parma , cousin of King Felipe VI known as the 'red princess' and member of the Borbón-Parma family, who for decades was a pretender to the throne of Spain, died this Thursday in Paris at the age of 86, victim of the coronavirus.
The news was announced by his brother Sixto Enrique de Borbón , visible head of traditionalist Carlism, who in a statement posted on his Facebook page said he was "very sorry" and explained that this Friday a funeral for her will take place in Madrid.
He recalled that his sister had been born on July 28, 1933. She was the daughter of the then infant Francisco Javier de Borbón y Braganza , Prince of Parma and Plasencia, who claimed responsibility as the legitimate heir to the Spanish crown, and Magdalena de Borbón Busset .
She was called 'the red princess', a title used in a biography dedicated to her by the Carlist historian Josep Carles Clemente in 2002, in which "her vehement defense of the neediest and of democracy" stood out.
Graduated in Political Science from the Sorbonne in Paris, María Teresa de Borbón Parma was, among other things, a professor of Sociology at the Complutense University of Madrid and advocated an ideological evolution of Carlism .
