Last year,
Irene Urdangarin and Borbón He celebrated his coming of age by taking advantage of his graduation from Ecolint, the prestigious International School of Geneva. Unlike the intimate ceremony at her cousin Leonor’s boarding school in Wales, she did it surrounded by a large part of her family, including her cousins Victoria Federica and Froilán and her maternal grandparents, the emeritus kings. Now, for the first time in a long time, the daughter of Infanta Cristina and Iñaki Urdangarin has blown out the candles in Madrid and has also done so with a surprise party of which we already know all the details.
Installed in the capital after shortening her solidarity stay in Cambodia – the planned year was only five months – Irene first celebrated her 19th birthday on June 2 in
a Madrid restaurant with Japanese food. Queen Sofía, Infantas Cristina and Elena, Irene of Grecia and Pablo Urdangarin attended that private meeting, accompanied by his girlfriend, Johanna Zott. We also saw Juan Urquijo Moreno there, the young brother-in-law of José Luis Martínez-Almeida, whose romantic relationship with the youngest of the Urdangarins seems already consolidated.
But after that small meeting, Irene’s family decided to surprise her with another new party that, according to the magazine ‘Hola!’, this time organized by her cousin Victoria López-Quesada, with the help of Infanta Cristina and the godfather of Irene. the young royal, Pedro López-Quesada.
Victoria López-Quesada de Borbón Dos-Sicilias, goddaughter of King Felipe VI, is a young aristocrat who will be the next ‘bride of the year’ when she marries Enrique Moreno de la Cova Ybarra next August. A wedding in which the attendance of the kings of Spain, very friends of the bride’s parents, is expected.
Where was the party and who were the guests?
The aforementioned media also reports that the place chosen for the celebration was the residence of Irene’s cousins in the exclusive Madrid area of Puerta del Hierro. It was about
a “very simple and informal dinner-party”to which Iñaki Urdangarin’s daughter arrived “deceived.”
In the photos that have emerged of the guests arriving at the surprise party we have been able to see the infantas Elena and Cristina, Pablo and Miguel Urdangarin, Princess Alexia and the princes of Panagyurishte, Kubrat of Bulgaria and Carla Royo Villanova. Victoria Federica, who is very close to Irene despite being four years older than her cousin, did not want to miss the improvised party. In fact, she took advantage of the occasion to send him a warm congratulations via Instagram. «Congratulations to this little person.
I love you madly. Enjoy as you deserve,” wrote Froilán’s sister along with a photo of both of them.

The person who couldn’t miss the party was again Irene’s boyfriend, Juan Urquijo Moreno, whom we see increasingly integrated into his in-laws. In fact, contrary to what had been rumored, it was not his cousin Victoria de Marichalar who introduced them, but rather Irene’s brothers, with whom he maintains a good friendship.
