The House of Baviera=Bavaria in Spain

[Carolath Habsburg]

Its a mantilla. My grandma has one.

[Eric_Lowe]

Well...It does not look like the ones royal ladies wore. You can see a host of them in the royal marriages in spain.

[Carolath Habsburg]

There are different  types of Mantilla, as there re different types of combs and stuff

[grandduchessella]

Yes, this is more of an everyday one as opposed to the more ceremonial ones which usually had the combs (peinetas) to hold it in place for moving around--during services, celebrations, etc...I wonder why Paz is wearing one as they became largely ceremonial after the death of her mother (who had helped popularize them and encouraged their wearing). She looks to be wearing black but the mantilla is white--both colors associated with mourning.

Got it !  I think she still identify herself as a Spanish Infanta even she had been a Bavarian Princess for a long time.

Does anyone know what was the reason for the early death of Maria Teressa? I read she died at age 29.

[LisaG]

I'd like to know that answer too.  I can't find anything.

[Clelia]

Maria Teresa died of an embolism eight days after giving birth to her daughter Maria del Pilar.
