OFFICIAL photographs from the wedding of Carlos Fitz-James Stuart y Solis and Belen Corsini have been released following a weekend of opulent celebrations.
The couple’s wedding, which took place in Madrid on Saturday, marked the union of two of Spain’s wealthiest families.
Carlos Fitz-James Stuart y Solis is the youngest grandson of the late Duchess of Alba, who was known as Spain’s richest woman.
Meanwhile Belén is the great-granddaughter of Carlos Corsini Senespleda, the engineer and founder of the construction and public works company Corsan, which was sold for €325million in 2004.
The Count of Orsono and Belén Corsini
With the buttoning of a dashing red Gala uniform and the swish of an heirloom train, Saturday marked the union of the Albas and the Corsinis - two of Spain’s mightiest aristocratic and business families, respectively.
The Alba scion, The Count of Orsono, wed heiress Belén Corsini in an outdoor ceremony at his family seat, the Duke of Alba’s neoclassical Liria Palace in Madrid. Up to 300 guests would have been allowed to attend indoors in accordance with Spain’s Covid restrictions, but word is that the ceremony was even further slimmed down. By contrast, his brother Fernando Fitz-James Stuart’s 2018 wedding in the same venue was attended by 750 guests.

Prince Fritzi von Preussen of Prussia, the great-great-grandson of the late German Emperor Wilhelm II, married his long-term girlfriend, Tilly Johnson, this weekend.
It was a beautiful low-key wedding, perfectly in keeping with the current restrictions and filled with the sweetest flower girls and page boys decked out in smart, embroidered white dungarees and flower crowns. The newly weds posed in a doorway between wisteria – that had likely taken an unseasonal battering given the turbulent May weather – surrounded by their throng of youthful wedding helpers.
