This time, Doña Elena opted for a midi cut and straight, elegant hair. Although she was present on this important day for Ira de Füstenberg, she left before the party, along with her ex-husband, Jaime de Marichalar, with whom she apparently did not exchange a word or contact. That was the first appearance by King Felipe VI’s sister after the health setback for his daughter, Victoria Federica.
