Spanish society woke up this Friday with tragic news: the death of Marta Chávarri. The one who was at the time the Marquise of Cubas, has been found lifeless this morning, at the age of 62, at her home in Madrid. Alberto Cortina’s ex-partner, known for her casual ways and her philanthropic activities, has left an important void in different circles in the country, with greater implications than expected.
The Marquise de Griñón, Tamara Falcó, could paralyze her honeymoon with Íñigo Onieva if she had to attend her aunt-in-law’s funeral. This was announced this morning by Semana magazine on its digital portal, following the information on the death of Chávarri. Tamara is the cousin of the son of the disappeared woman, Álvaro Falcó, who is already with his wife Isabelle Junot at his mother’s house, waiting for what may happen in the next few hours.
At the moment it is not known exactly if the newly married couple will stop their trip to attend the funeral, despite the fact that various media point to that possibility. Tamara and Álvaro share a very special bond after the death of their respective parents, Fernando and Carlos Falcó. Without going any further, the son of Marta Chávarri had a very special gesture with the leading couple of the “wedding of the year”, giving them a replica of the bridal bouquet when he married Junot.
Tamara and Íñigo are currently in Cape Town, South Africa; with the Marquise de Griñón publishing a surprising photograph on board a ship. Being in the middle of winter in the southern hemisphere, the socialite appears on one of the well-sheltered sides. Beyond their outings on the high seas, the couple is staying at the Mount Nelson Hotel, east of the city. It is a luxury accommodation in which a night in the most exclusive suite can cost 1997 euros.
Marta Chávarri was one of the most prominent figures in the world of the heart between the 1980s and 1990s. Great-granddaughter of the Count of Romanones and daughter of the diplomat Tomás Chávarri and Matilde Figueroa, and niece of Natalia Figueroa, wife of the singer Raphael, she stood out for the many social events in which she participated. One of her most notorious moments occurred in February 1989, when the magazine Interviú published some controversial photographs in which she was not wearing underwear.
As we mentioned earlier, her son Álvaro Falcó is already present at the house of the deceased. The current Marquis de Cubas arrived at the Madrid building this morning, in a black vehicle, wearing gray clothing and sunglasses. Neither of them has made any kind of statement to the media, present around the building. The news was a severe setback for the couple, who welcomed their daughter Philippa in June.
