Three years later, Bee married his cousin, Infante Don Alfonso. Ena's marriage proved unhappy with the ill-health of her hemophiliac sons and her husband's infidelities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe King abdicated in 1931 and they led separate lives in exile until he died in 1941. Bee and her husband Ali were more popular, although personal differences between them and the King resulted in their temporary exile for the first years of their marriage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey later returned to Spain, staying there for the rest of their lives. Bee died in 1966 and Ena three years later. This dual biography, written by Anna de Sagrera with additional material from Doña Beatriz, Bee's granddaughter, looks in depth at the friendship of the mutually supportive cousins against the often-turbulent background of 20th century Spanish politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.26 x 9.29 x 6.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 23, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51766156591392,"sku":"9781781558546","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/11909d6d8e900da68c7b096a157e3a58.webp?v=1780286823","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/ena-and-bee-queen-victorias-spanish-granddaughters-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
