Images capture Dolores Del Río in different areas of her home: playing the piano,reading a bookwhere a signed portrait given to her by Queen Victoria Eugenie of Spain,wife of King Alfonso XIII, can be seen.
The connection between the legendary actress, Mexican Diva Dolores Del Río and Spanish royalty began in 1921. Dolores,from one of Mexico’s wealthiest and most influential families, married the scholar and aristocrat Jaime Martínez Del Río Vinent in April 1921 he belonged to the Martínez Del Río family,a powerful families during the Porfiriato era. After their wedding the couple settled in Europe, embarking on a honeymoon that spanned a year and a half across the continent.

Arriving from France,they traveled to Spain and were invited to a grand high-society reception at the Madrid Court, hosted by King Alfonso XIII and his consort,Queen Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg (granddaughter of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom). During this visit to Spain, Dolores Del Río then just 17 years old and trained in the arts and dance performed traditional Spanish dances before the monarchs. This artistic gesture was also a means of raising funds for the Hospital of Carabanchel, which cared for soldiers wounded in the Moroccan War. As a token of gratitude for her performance and grace,Queen Victoria Eugenie presented her with a portrait bearing a handwritten dedication.
Jaime was Dolores’s first husband, before her rise to Hollywood. Educated in England and from one of the ten most powerful families in pre‑Revolution Mexico, he maintained high ranking connections across Europe, where the family also held properties and business interests
