On November 29, the Paris Debutante Ball will take place, one of the most prestigious and exclusive events in the world. Every year and the organizer Ophélie Renouardselects some of the most admired young women in the world, searches all continents, … To be introduced into the community. Among the girls there are the daughters of aristocrats, “royal families” from countries with and without monarchy, the economic and cultural elite, successful athletes… in short, the crème de la crème of international society. And this year there is a potential star who is already shining with her own light and she is introduced as Spanish: her name is Him Eulalia Orleans Bourbon.
She’s the goddaughter of King Juan Carlos and hangs out with Formula 1 athletes or Prince Albert of Monaco, so luxury and high society are no strangers to her. Eulalia is a daughter Alvaro de Orleans BourbonShe is a distant cousin of Al-Fakhri and Antonella Rendina, from a distinguished Italian business family. She was born in Rome 19 years ago and grew up in Monaco, where she made her debut in 2024 at the Rose Ball alongside Carlos Enrique de Lobkovic and accompanied by her mother.
In about two years, and especially after coming of age in 2024, Eulalia has become a potential “influencer”, as she already has 12,200 followers and counting. naturally Attending the debutante balldressed as Tony Ward and perhaps wearing one of the tiaras that V Muse Jewelry lends each year to young women who show up in the community, will work to increase her reach.
It doesn’t seem like Eulalia is planning – at least for now – to live outside of her social networks. The young woman studies economics and finance at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, where The Princes of Wales fell in loveWhich she became fascinated with when she was only 16 years old and attended an educational summer program, as she herself said in an interview with the French magazine “Point de Vue”. There he enjoys some of his passions such as Golf Or something as simple as observing the changing landscape through the seasons.
When the holiday arrives, Eulalia chooses between returning home to Monaco, bathing in history in Rome, walking through the Canary Islands and taking advantage of the good weather or enjoying the luxury of winter in Gstaad. No fate can resist him. A traveling girl like her great-grandmother, whose name she bears, Eulalia de Bourbon. The last daughter of Isabel II, known for her scandals and exiled from Spain by her nephew Alfonso XIII, published books and memoirs about her travels that were considered very feminist at the time. He died in Irun in 1958, where he lived the last years of his life with the approval of Francisco Franco, who offered him some privileges such as a life pension and a chauffeur.
Although Eulalia did not live in Spainfor Le Bal des Débutantes from France it is Spanish. This is dictated by her family position, which links her directly to the Spanish royal family, and which includes her attendance at events such as King Juan Carlos’ 86th birthday in Abu Dhabi. She shared it herself a few days after the date, posting photos that were included in a “Hello!” She appeared from the side, sitting next to Al-Fakhri’s grandchildren. “Birthday of His Majesty King Don Juan Carlos I, my godfather, very proud to be there,” he said.
Naturally, the relationship with the descendants of King Juan Carlos is not close, as Eulalia does not follow any of them on their social networks. Not even Victoria Federica Marichalar, although among her followers was Eugenia de Bourbon, daughter of Luís Alfonso de Bourbon.
Specifically, Eulalia follows in the footsteps of Eugenia de Bourbon, who was part of the dance last year. But she will not be the only aristocrat in the edition: the participation of Araminta Spencer-Churchill, daughter of the 12th Duke of Marlborough, has already been confirmed; and of two others from Orléans: Almudena delle, daughter of Adelaide d’Orléans, granddaughter of the Count of Paris in turn and Isabelle d’Orléans-Braganza; and Isabelle de Orleans, daughter of Carlos Luis de Orleans. Returning to the family tree, its connection is to Louis Philippe I of Orleans, the last king of the French (not counting Napoleon III, of course).
The event, held at the Shangri-La Hotel in Paris, includes not only debutants, but also their distinguished families and the “knights” who accompany them. Eulalia will be accompanied by Albert Windsor, Charles III’s cousin and future Duke of Kent, although he is excluded from the line of succession because his father converted to Catholicism.
Last year he was the surprise star appleThe daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, who was discovered on the same day as the dance. The former, the young Lara Cosima, daughter of director and aristocrat Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, went viral with her Gaultier design. Will Eulalia be the absolute champion this year?
