She was one of the brides of the year, and her wedding, one of the most anticipated. It’s been more than two months since Victoria Lopez-Quesada gave ‘yes, I want’ to Enrique Moreno de la Cova -on August 31-in a wedding held at the Finca Soto Mozanaque, on the outskirts of Madrid.
We had not seen her at a public event since then – the discretion has always been one of his maxims – but, as we show in the pages of ¡HOLA! This week, the daughter of Cristina de Borbón-Dos Sicilias and Pedro López-Quesada ‘has reappeared’, and she has also done so for a very special reason.

Doña Ana, Dowager Duchess of Calabria and Casertapresented ‘Watercolors with soul’, an exhibition where she showed some works with a lot of meaning for her, from her more than two decades of experience in art. So the young woman did not hesitate to support her grandmother in this exceptional event, to which she attended accompanied for his mother and also for his aunt Victoria de Borbón-Two Sicilies, who has inherited the gift and passion for painting from the artist princess.

We can see that, in his hand, he carried the catalog which showed the watercolors that Anne of Orléans had chosen for this new exhibition, the most personal to date, as she confessed to HELLO! a few weeks ago.

Theirs was a wedding that, as we already reported in the pages of our magazine, included with the presence of King Felipe VIas guest of honor, queen sofia and the infantas Cristina and Elena.
Don Felipe, Victoria’s baptismal godfather, maintains a great friendship with her father, Pedro López-Quesada, and is also the cousin of her mother, Cristina de Borbón-Dos Sicilias, although the relationship of the Borbón-Dos Sicilias family with The Royal Family goes far beyond blood ties.

When Don Carlos died, in 2015, he was buried, at the wish of Don Juan Carlos, in the pantheon of Infants of the Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial.
Theirs is the story of a friendship that has been passed down from generation to generation –Victoria is, in turn, a friend of Victoria de Marichalar-. For this reason, who also did not want to miss the last exhibition of Princess Anne of Orleans It was Infanta Elenawho also really enjoys art – in fact, one of his favorite events is the awards ceremony for the Children’s and Youth Painting Contest organized by the National Heritage and which he presided over, once again, last June.
