86 years old. Should there not be an age limit on the term "princess"?

Oh no, I haven't even gone to purple for the Duchess of Alba yet!

The princess remained unmarried and had been a professor at Paris-Sorbonne University and Complutense University of Madrid teaching constitutional law. She was also an advocate of women's rights and socialist ideas, which earned her the nickname, "la princesa roja" (the red princess).

If you haven't made it to Queen đź‘‘ by 86, there's something wrong with you.

I never heard of her. She sounds like the most useful royal ever

R5, that’s exactly why we never heard of her before.

To be fair she looks quite frail in that pic, I'd imagine a bad cold would have killed her.

Maria Teresa's father, Prince Xavier, or in Spanish, Francisco Javier de BorbĂłn-Parma y de Braganza, was the son of Robert I, last Duke of Parma and Piacenza, and Infanta Maria Antonia of Portugal, daughter of the exiled King Michael of Portugal.

In youth, she was a lovely young lady who must've had many royal and aristocratic admirers, but she chose a single and childless life, working in education.
