- 'Royals': Prince Joaquín of Belgium, with Covid-19 at a party in Córdoba skipping quarantine
- Covid-19.Joaquin of Belgium apologizes after acknowledging that he did not keep quarantine for coronavirus during his trip to Spain
The commotion due to the party that Prince Joaquín of Belgium (28) attended with Covid-19 in Córdoba has given rise to curiosity to know more about the Cordovan girl who has fallen in love with the nephew of King Felipe de Belgian.
Her name is Victoria Ortiz Martínez-Sagrera (28), she has a sister and a brother, Ángela and Antonio, younger than her. Her parents, Francisco and María Victoria, live in Córdoba in El Brillante, a residential area of chalets in the Cordovan capital, where the controversial meeting apparently took place.
Her maternal grandmother, María Victoria Eguilaz de Prado , was the founder of the NGO Adevida Córdoba, a non-profit association that defends life "from its conception to its natural extinction in all its fullness and dignity." That is why Victoria has grown up in a very religious environment with strong Christian principles. The family is well known in Córdoba and those who frequent it assure that the Ortiz family are "close, close, very hard-working and always ready to help others."

On the mother's side, Victoria has an aunt, Elena Martínez-Sagrera, who has been linked to politics and has been a councilor for the PP in the Córdoba City Council . Perhaps for this reason, and after studying Law at the CEU in Madrid, Prince Joaquín's friend traveled to Brussels to do an internship in the European Parliament together with the Bulgarian MEP Eva Maydell, who belongs to the Christian Democratic party in her country. According to what they say, Maydell was a friend of a young Belgian , with whom the Cordovan was dating before meeting Joaquín.
After Brussels, the young woman's next destination was London. But she has also lived in Milan, as she loves fashion and traveled to the Italian city to study design , in addition to continuing her training in other parts of the world, for example, investigating fabrics.
Her passion for fashion has led her to act as a model for the Verónica Pacheco firm , created by the Sevillian Angela and Verónica Pacheco Guardiola. It is a brand without a physical store that is about to launch a website and that dresses a large group of well-to-do girls from Madrid and Seville.
Among them is Victoria, who along with Angela's daughter and Veronica's son's girlfriend, help sign their friends by wearing some of their clothes on social networks.
Victoria's family is engaged in agribusiness . They have red cows and produce oil, and among others, they have a farm near the Cordovan town of Palma del Río .
As for the young woman, they say that she is "charming", that she likes to ride a horse -like the rest of her family- even participating in some equestrian championships , and that she is very lively. They say that during his stay in Europe he did not hesitate to attend appointments such as the Vienna Opera Ball, the Cologne Carnival or the Oktoberfest, not to mention the Seville Fair, accompanied by his group of European aristocratic friends.
They also say that, due to their romantic relationship, the young woman has visited Brussels on many occasions, just as Prince Joaquín has traveled to Córdoba often.
As for the controversial and recent trip of the Belgian royal , it has been published that he traveled from Brussels to Madrid by plane , but there could be contradictions. On the one hand, the Belgian royal house has explained that the young man traveled to Spain for work and with a permit to enter our country. In this regard, in his closest circle it was commented these days that Joaquín has a diplomatic passport , one of the exceptions to the confinement that allows travel, and that the young man could have used it as a safe-conduct . On the other hand, it seems that at the moment there are no direct flights between Brussels and Madrid, which raises the question of how the prince traveled .
They also comment that the Cordoba date was not a party, but a family meal with twelve people and a snack with fifteen others. In theory, its defenders allege that they do not exceed the established limit, which is true as long as both groups did not join.
The prince, a financial analyst, is the son of Archduke Lorenzo of Habsburg and Princess Astrid of Belgium, sister of King Philip, and is ninth in succession to the throne.
The strength of the relationship has made many remember the kings Balduino and Fabiola, and if she continued, she could be the second Spanish to join the Belgian royal family.
