Isabel Preysler has once again confirmed her status as the “queen of hearts,” remaining in the spotlight regardless of her daughter Tamara Falcó’s successes. Her autobiographical book, “Mi historia real,” instantly soared to the top of sales, becoming an absolute bestseller on Amazon across all categories. Additionally, her appearance on the program “El Hormiguero 3.0” gave the show record ratings this season for Pablo Motos, drawing more than 2.4 million viewers and achieving a 20.1% audience share.
However, not everyone was pleased with the memoir’s content. There are already rumors behind the scenes about a possible lawsuit from the family of Nobel laureate Mario Vargas Llosa due to certain passages in the book. This has been compounded by the open displeasure of Olivia de Bourbon, the future Duchess of Seville. She expressed deep outrage over statements that, in her opinion, are false and defame the memory of her late mother, Beatriz Wilhelmina Paula von Hardenberg.
Olivia, who is happily married to entrepreneur Julián Porras Figueroa, says that her mother suffered greatly from these unfounded rumors during her lifetime. In her book, Isabel Preysler hints that it was the Duchess of Seville who leaked information about her secret affair with Carlos Falcó, Tamara’s father. The situation is further complicated by family ties: the late Duke of Seville once dated Beatriz Preysler, Isabel’s sister, who passed away prematurely in 2011 from lung cancer, leaving her children in deep grief.
The Preysler family has endured many hardships. The most difficult times fell on their mother, Beatriz Arrastia, who buried three of her five children and spent her final years in Isabel’s mansion in the prestigious Puerta de Hierro district. Only her deep faith helped her get through these tragedies.
Amid this scandal, Olivia de Bourbon has officially applied to inherit the title of Duchess of Seville, which could trigger a conflict with her brother Francisco, whom their father considered his successor. Olivia is determined to defend her mother’s reputation, stressing that the accusations against her are not only false but also deeply hurtful. She reminded that one should not speak ill of the dead, as they can no longer defend themselves.
