The queen herself bowed to her, and at the end of her life the duchess regretted that she refused to pose for Picasso in “Eve’s outfit”: inimitable, cheerful, very beautiful in her youth – the Duchess of Alba 😲😲😲😲👇👇👇
Cayetana Stewart owned millions, she was loved all over the world, and since childhood she was friends with the Queen of Great Britain. One can talk endlessly about the duchess, her fate was so amazing.
However, only one thing was discussed throughout the world: Alba’s appearance. Only the lazy would not reproach a woman for being overly enthusiastic about plastics. She completely redid her appearance, changing beyond recognition.
Anyone who has not seen photographs of her taken at a young age will not believe that Alba was a real beauty.
What the Duchess of Alba looked like when she was young
Cayetana passed away 6 years ago, but conversations about her appearance do not stop today. Journalists dubbed Alba a woman with unsuccessful plastic surgery. Not everyone knows that the duchess was not struggling with age-related changes, but with an illness that changed her attractive appearance for the worse. Because of this, she had to agree to the transformation.
Stewart’s facial nerve was completely napalized. For this reason, the lips, nose, cheeks and neck became very swollen. The Duchess became different from herself, but in her youth she was a real beauty. Men sought her favor, and many wanted in vain to see her as their life partner. That’s why Alba wanted to regain her former attractiveness. Unfortunately, this was not possible.
Plastic surgery only made the situation worse. Cayetana began to look even worse than she did “before” all the interventions. This caused such discussion and condemnation in society.
Young beauty
The last photographs of Alba were taken when she was already over 80. Her appearance is far from what can be called beautiful. Nevertheless, Cayetana Stewart retained the title of the first beauty of Spain. You can verify this by looking at photographs taken in your youth.
In addition to her attractive appearance, the Duchess was fluent in several foreign languages, was involved in equestrian sports, and she was also a good dancer. At one time they said that she was the best flamenco dancer.
Kataena became close to Elizabeth during difficult years for the country. The parents of the two girls found refuge in London with mutual friends. That’s when their friendship began. No one could refuse shelter to the ducal family, since this family was one of the most noble in Spain.
As surprising as it may sound, Alba had more titles than Elizabeth herself. Therefore, it was the queen who had to curtsy to the duchess, and not vice versa. During the entire existence of the monarchical system, no one in the world has been awarded as many titles as the Duchess of Alba.
Kataena Stewart was the owner of more than 10 castles. They contain masterpieces of art, for example, paintings by Goya and Velazquez.
The Duchess always married for love, despite the fact that there were all kinds of rumors.
For this reason, every marriage of Alba was surrounded by a lot of rumors, speculation and gossip. However, she was able to prove that she was not mistaken in her chosen ones. It is worth remembering Kataena Stewart’s last husband. She was 20 years older than him. In addition to the age difference, the man did not have any titles. He came from a simple family with average income.
The children dissuaded their mother from connecting her life with a man who only needs money. Then the monarch decided to check on her beloved. She made a will, according to which Alba bequeathed all her property and money to her children.
She has 6 of them, so everyone was assigned the same share of the inheritance. The Duchess then reported what she had done to the groom. He did not give up on the woman he loved, proving that he could love her not for billions.
The wedding took place when Kataena was 85 years old. Her venerable age did not stop her from dancing energetically at the wedding to the surprised and at the same time enthusiastic glances of the public. Many said that not everyone can remain so energetic and cheerful at 85 years old.
Alba always said that she was happy with her life. There was only one thing she would like to change: at one time she refused Picasso when he wanted to paint her nude. If it were possible to return everything back, she would definitely throw away all conventions.
The famous Spanish woman died at the age of 88. After her death, all residents of Seville mourned the royal person. They said different things about her, but no one remained indifferent after seeing her at least once.
