Royal House The practically anonymous life of Jaime de Marichalar
Casa Real The revenge of Victoria Federica: spectacular on the red carpet and with thousands of followers on networks
The latest
adventures
(to call them in some way without downplaying them) of Iñaki Urdangarin have made many of us remember Jaime de Marichalar and claim the
impeccable role he played years ago in the Royal House.
"Until now he
was the outlaw of the family
and the poor thing has never made a noise. He just put on three extravagant
pashminas
or a strange mobile phone headset. He was the first to go on an electric scooter through the Salamanca neighborhood and today you see them everywhere parts", says a source from the environment of the Infantas who also misses him a lot.
"The poor guy had a terrible time.
He was never the favorite because he didn't like sports or hunting...
His thing was fashion, that's why he lived in Paris, where he worked in a bank.
He's always been an industry insider, a frustrated fashion editor..."
Doña Elena's ex-husband is, despite himself, on everyone's lips lately.
Yes, this time for good.
Over time he has become a saint compared to his former brother-in-law and now he reaffirms himself again as
a renowned stylist for his daughter,
who starts in the world of fashion.
Last week he went with Victoria Federica, now 22, to the Paris Fashion Week shows.
Jaime is a director of the well-known luxury conglomerate LVMH and
they attended the Dior and Loewe fashion shows together,
where she was photographed with Rihanna and Eugenia Silva.
The two (Victoria without her boyfriend, Jorge Bárcenas) stayed at the Hotel Continental and had lunch at the Café de la Paix, where the girl met her friend
De Ella Gala González

It transpired a few days ago that the youngest daughter of the Infanta and Jaime de Marichalar
had signed for the
influencers
agency Soy Olivia,
which leads the career of María Pombo, among others, but it is not strictly so.
The alarms went off when Victoria (who has a close friend of King Juan Carlos, the now-retired colonel
Nicolás Murga
, as her adviser), tagged several brands on her Instagram, but it seems that she does not want to be a prescriber to use.
She aspires to something better.
Or at least that's what she and her father claim.
We know that
you want to study the last year of your degree in Paris
and dedicate yourself to digital marketing for a major fashion firm.
She has already made her first steps in Spain on a small scale.
Just before the pandemic,
she spent time at Lorenzo Caprile's artisan sewing workshop
learning how it works.
Her clients did not recognize her and told her: "Oh, how you look like the daughter of the Infanta."
She was laughing.

"She is very independent and
her father is reluctant to let her appear in magazines
, but I wouldn't be surprised if he envisions a big campaign for his daughter in a big firm.
Victoria fits perfectly in the new Loewe
, focused on rich and modern young people like her".
Marichalar is a great adviser, the André Leon Talley that Spanish fashion magazines have missed.
It's hers Anna Wintour's hers particular to her, just as he did with her mother when he was married to her.
"The Infanta Elena followed the orders of Queen Sofía's secretary,
Laura Hurtado de Mendoza
, when it came to dressing when she was single. That's why she was from Petro Valverde at her wedding. All that changed when Marichalar appeared."
He encouraged her to go more risky, always with fashion from Paris.
Lacroix, Dior, Chanel were the brands chosen to wear at official events when they were together and were still part of the Royal House.
"
He also tried to act as a stylist for Doña Letizia
, in fact it was he who introduced her to Felipe Varela," says another source consulted and
insider
of the union.
"But the then Princess of Asturias
did not let
herself, she never wanted to."
The Infanta returned to Spanish fashion as soon as she separated from Marichalar.
She trusted Caprile
with a
pink bullfighter-style model
that she wore at Victoria of Sweden's wedding and that went around the world.
"It was said that he did not like it at all, but it was not like that. What
bothered him is that he put on a tiara from the Marichalar family
when he had already divorced her. A tiara that the Infanta kept thinking of Victoria, probably."
A great friend of Jaime's , Carlos García-Calvo,
did not like that suit either ,
who always saw in the former Duke of Lugo (luxury, according to Carmen Rigalt) a fashion expert who
knew how to take advantage of his wife
and who put her on the world's best-dressed lists.
Today Elena is no longer so daring
.
Her style is Armani type, more minimalist.
She never looked as stylish as she did when she was Mrs. Marichalar.
Fortunately, we will always have Victoria Federica...
