Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart contra Mar Flores: el día que la duquesa se “arrodilló” ante la modelo

On a fateful day, the highly titled and haughty Duquesa Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart found herself bowing before the renowned model, Mar Flores. The Spanish aristocrat, renowned for her adherence to protocol and ceremonial traditions, vehemently rejected the exaggerated praise given to her lineage by journalist Oriana Fallaci in her 1963 book, *Los antipáticos*.

Fallaci had penned the phrase, "Her blood is bluer than all the blue bloods on Earth. If one encountered Isabel of England and the Duquesa de Alba at an elevator, the latter should yield to the former." Cayetana, known for her disdain of such hyperbolic statements, dismissed Fallaci's comments as mere literary embellishment, comparing them to "literature, a sandez" and "a stupid thing" when confronted about her thoughts on Fallaci herself.
