Doña María del Rosario Cayetana Alfonsa Victoria Eugenia Francisca Fitz-James Stuart y Silva, 18th and present Duchess of Alba de Tormes, is the third female to carry the title in her own right.
She was born March 28, 1926 in Liria Palace in Madrid as the only child of Don Jacobo Fitz-James Stuart y Falcó, 17th Duke of Alba (1878-1955) and his wife, the former Maria del Rosario de Silva y Gurtubay, 15th Duchess of Aliaga and 9th Marchioness of San Vicente del Barco (1900-1934). She is the current head of the House of Alba.
According to the Guinness Book of Records, Doña Cayetana has more titles than any other noble in the world. She has eight other ducal titles, 15 marquesal titles, 19 comital titles and is 20 times a Grandee of Spain. For a full list of the titles she holds, see House of Alba.
On October 12, 1947 Doña Cayetana married Don Pedro Luis Martínez de Irujo y Artázcoz (1919-1972), son of the Duke of Sotomayor. The wedding was a great social event and was described by the newspaper Liberation as "the most expensive wedding of the world".
