Fifty years of art contemplate Isabel Pantoja (66). A musical golden wedding that the tonadillera will begin to celebrate on the right foot because on March 25 she will be one of the guests at the Ball of the Rose. It is one of the most important social events in Monaco created by Grace Kelly in 1954 to raise funds for the Princess Grace Foundation for vulnerable and disadvantaged people.

Her Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco (65) and Princess Caroline of Monaco and Royal Highness the Princess of Hanover are the hosts of the event which this year costs 850 euros per cover. Since Karl Lagerfeld died four years ago, Christian Louboutin is in charge of the decoration and as he is a fan of Indian cinema, this time the evening is dedicated to Bollywood.

It is the magazine of the greeting who bears all the expenses of plane, hotel, travel, meals and tickets to enter the Sporting Club

Isabel pays nothing. Neither did his brother Augustine. Both come through a German millionaire lover of the arts based in the Principality who for four decades has a reserved table at the Sporting Club. To his verita will be the tonadillera who received an invitation in his name with the possibility of bringing a companion. Undoubtedly, this event will serve as a balm for the artist of Sailor of lights because in a short time she has lost her brother Bernardo and her mother Ana María, in addition to the displeasure that her children Kiko and Chabelita give her day in and day out.

Behind the makeup and her exquisite designs hides a weak, sad and depressed woman, despite the fact that in the cover report of the magazine ¡Hola! held last Saturday in El Puerto de Santa María it looks plethoric. But there is still more, since the Pantoja has agreed another exclusive with the greeting magazine during its stay in Monte Carlo. In fact, it is ¡Hola! who bears all the expenses of plane, hotel, travel, meals and tickets to enter the Sporting Club.

It doesn't matter how millionaire you are. If Prince Albert II at least does not sound familiar, you have no chance of entering. There is always a list with the most prominent names of Monegasque society who, in turn, can invite those who wish. But the capacity is what there is. Hence the figure of that anonymous millionaire that LOC does not intend to discover. In principle, the table was for four people and, finally, it has been expanded to seven.

Isabel Pantoja: "I'm having a very bad time, although there is no other way to continue"

There are several rumors that point to the possibility that the Pantoja coincides with one of the best voices in the history of music, Shirley Bassey (86), who this year also celebrates seven decades in music. How unforgettable his performance of Sean Connery's James Bond soundtrack in Goldfinger. (1964). It would not be unreasonable since in the last album of the Spanish singer, Canciones que me gusta (2020) she interprets the Spanish version of This is my life that the British artist released in 1968.

One of Isabel's greatest illusions would be to personally greet Carolina de Monaco because, as she has confessed to ¡Hola! she feels identified with her because they both had children when they became widows so young. But nothing is assured. The Princess of Hanover is quite distant. However, His Serene Highness often approaches some tables to greet, especially familiar faces.

OTHER 'CELEBS' OF THE DANCE

This is not the first time that a Spanish face attends the Ball of the Rose that is the starting signal for all the parties that will take place from now on such as Formula 1, the Red Cross Festival, the club of the blades ... Who has not forgotten the party dedicated to La Movida in 2008? The assistance of Pedro Almodóvar and part of his tribe: Alaska, Mario Vaquerizo, Bibiana Fernández, Luz Casal or even Paco Clavel. On that occasion Princess Carolina had a special interest in meeting the director from La Mancha who due to his photophobia practically appeared in the images with sunglasses.

Among the most discreet characters is Fernando Fernández Tapias, who used to chat animatedly with Ernesto de Hannover, who has been living apart from his wife for years. And, of course, we must pay attention to one of the names that has given more to talk about in recent months, Javier Rigau (60), who at that time was a pipiolo who came on the arm of his beloved Gina Lollobrigida, recently deceased.

After her return from Monte Carlo, Isabel will return to seclude herself at home to schedule her next professional activities that they hope will have the same success as her last American tour. At the moment, those closest to him are silent because they do not want to swear about what is yet to come.

Those same friends yearn that between mother and children, especially with Kiko, rough edges will be smoothed out since time passes very quickly. But in light of what has happened between them due, especially, to the inheritance of Paquirri and Cantora, their paths may still take time to converge. If it ever happens. Isabel continues to drag her sadness but knows that her mother, whom she has always venerated, pulls her so that her light does not go out.
