Three years later, Bee married his cousin, Infante Don Alfonso. Enas marriage proved unhappy with the ill-health of her hemophiliac sons and her husbands infidelities.The King abdicated in 1931 and they led separate lives in exile until he died in 1941. Bee and her husband Ali were more popular, although personal differences between them and the King resulted in their temporary exile for the first years of their marriage.They later returned to Spain, staying there for the rest of their lives. Bee died in 1966 and Ena three years later. This dual biography, written by Anna de Sagrera with additional material from Doa Beatriz, Bees granddaughter, looks in depth at the friendship of the mutually supportive cousins against the often-turbulent background of 20th century Spanish politics.Table of ContentsPrefaceAcknowledgementsPrologue1 Childhood2 Coburg3 Twilight of an Era4 In Search of a Kindred Spirit5 Sima6 A May Wedding7 History of an Engagement8 A Controversial Marriage9 Spanish Infanta10 False Rumours11 Hidden Exile12 The Uncertain Return13 Representing Spain14 Glorious Days15 Bitter Awakening16 Forced Exile17 Living the War18 And Peace Came19 Confined to Sanlcar20 La Seorita InfantaEpilogueGenealogical tablesBibliographyIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52180275822880,"sku":"NEW178155854X","price":51.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81dmF84VJcL.jpg?v=1786543259","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/ena-and-bee-queen-victorias-spanish-granddaughters-178155854x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
