There is no other family in the entire panorama of the Spanish celebrity that can be compared to the Preyslers. Tamara Falcó, who is getting married this Saturday in case you didn’t know, has achieved with the latest controversies of her commitment, breakup and reconciliation of her to match her mother, Isabel Preysler, in media interest. A very difficult thing, since the so-called queen of hearts has been ringing the bell for five decades in which, voluntarily or involuntarily, she has woven a family tree that continues to feed the gossip press with exclusives and scandals that reach the front line and even, in his time, they became matters of state.
Since she arrived in Spain at the age of 17 from the Philippines, Preysler has been married three times to famous people and has had a romance in her third age that was just as well-known in the media. She first went through the altar with Julio Iglesias, with whom she had three children: Chábeli (51), Julio José (50) and Enrique (48), who seems to finally attend the wedding. Preysler’s second nuptials were with Carlos Falcó, Tamara’s father (41). And her last marriage, and her longest, was with Miguel Boyer, with whom she had the youngest, Ana (34). Her children have already turned her into a grandmother seven times, with grandchildren between the ages of 21 and 2.
The previous and subsequent marriages of Isabel Preysler’s husbands and the subsequent weddings of her children have generated a messy family tree. Her first ex-husband has had five more children with Miranda Rijnsburger: Miguel Alejandro (25), Rodrigo (24), Cristina (22), Vicotria (22) and Guillermo (16). Her second husband, Carlos Falcó, had two children before the marriage, Manuel (59) and Xandra (56), and had two more children after her separation, Duarte (29) and Aldara (25). And Miguel Boyer already had two children before having Ana: Miguel and Laura, the latter who died at the age of 57 last February.
Isabel Preysler’s children have taken the most varied paths. Chábeli is a household products businesswoman, Julio José continues trying to succeed in the song, Tamara seems to be the one who will pick up the baton from her mother as marquise of hearts, Ana is immersed in her role as mother… And all of them, with greater or less assiduously, go through the pages of the magazine Hello! to tell us their news, being, by inheritance, one of the few vestiges that remain of characters of the heart like those of before. The only one who seems allergic to the exclusives is Enrique, to whom his music makes a better living than the posados.
The story that Isabel Preysler is a gold digger is unfair. When she married the Eurovisual singer, whose career she had not yet taken off, she promised to be one of the capital’s fashionable girls. After her divorce, she married Carlos Falcó, the Marquis of Griñón, who at that time had land but no business. And by the time of her third marriage, to Miguel Boyer, she was already a master of publicity and public appearances, and she wouldn’t be surprised if she surpassed a minister in a socialist government in income. When asked why she has always married men with public relevance and not, for example, a trucker, she answers: “I don’t know any”.
