Princess Maria del Pilar Speaking With Her Father

(Original Caption) In the largest Spanish monarchist gathering in two decades, 1,600 Spaniards as well as 400 guests of other nationalities, attended the lavish coming out ball for Princess Maria del Pilar, eldest child of pretender to the Spanish throne Don Juan. It was held at a Lisbon hotel. Here, an unsmiling Princess Maria chats with her father, the Pretender Don Juan (right) and ex-King Umberto of Italy (second from right). Her brother, Juan Carlos, is in the background. Of course, the main topic of conversation at the gathering was the possible restoration of the Spanish throne, for which Don Juan and General Issimo Franco have entered negotiations.
