Isabel Preysler has once again opened the doors of her house in Puerta del Hierro (Madrid) to celebrate Christmas, this time to the Disney cameras. The socialite’s new reality show shows how the inhabitants and workers of the house prepare to celebrate the Christmas holidays and in it the history and evolution of a mansion that has been the home of the Preysler family for three decades becomes evident.
It was in November 1992 when the celebrity invited a magazine to his family home with Miguel Boyer for the first time to show him photographed room by room. On that occasion the house earned the nickname “villa meona” for the number of bathrooms it had, 13 in total, and among other things that generated controversy was the heated doghouse.
In this new look at the house, the passage of time is noticeable, for example, in the ivy that now covers almost the entire pale yellow wall and in the luxuriance of the cypress trees that flank the path to the main entrance. And inside, apart from the renovations of the upholstery and curtains, the passage of time on the lady of the house is also evident.
“Aging is a pain,” claims Preysler during a meeting of friends for the reality show. For decades it has been said that the years do not pass by her, but they pass by for everyone and these two installments in which she details her day-to-day life are a good example of this. “You reach an age where you have to enjoy only the good things,” she says. Little remains of that young beauty who reluctantly moved to Spain, as she herself explains, because her parents wanted to keep her away from a Filipino playboy she was dating in Manila.
After three marriages in Spain that gave her five children, Preysler was a young grandmother, at age 51, when Chábeli Iglesias had her first child. But it was not until the raising of Ana Boyer’s children, her youngest, that we were able to see the queen of coated paper on television immersed in the role of her daughter, as all of her grandchildren refer to her. . Now the little ones are the protagonists of her life.
Her routine at home focuses on discipline and good habits that have always characterized her. She plays sports, has a lot of help at home, and takes care of her diet above all else. During the first minutes of the reality show, Preysler reveals that she has stopped drinking her famous green smoothie with six vegetables and two fruits. Now she has a glass of hot water with lime for breakfast to which she adds vitamins; grapefruit juice; Kiwi; grapefruit, again, but in fruit; flax seeds and sometimes she finishes the feast with Jamaican water.
This new television project by Isabel Preysler is something exceptional, because, although she is the queen of the covers, she does not usually star in audiovisual content, something that protected the mystery about her that made her a legend. “I’m more into photos.” As she herself explains, “in front of the cameras I don’t have that ease and naturalness. There are people who have a very easy time expressing what they feel, but I don’t.” Unlike her daughter Tamara Falcó, who has proven to be a television animal on several occasions, Preysler’s television career failed with Hoy en casa in 1998. Since then her forays into the small screen have been very few except for the interview with Pablo Motos that he did to promote his anti-aging cream in 2015, a brief stint with Mask singer in 2021 and tonight, he visits El Hormiguero again to promote Mi Navidad.
For decades, Isabel Preysler has been one of the protagonists of Christmas on coated paper for her family reports, for her attendance at galas as an ambassador for Porcelanosa or for news about her private life that has been discovered at Christmas, as happened last year. when her scandalous breakup with Mario Vargas Llosa was revealed during the holidays.
