Born HH Princess Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg into the British Royal Family, she married King Alfonso XIII of Spain in 1906.
By chance, I have found a video of the wedding I had never seen. There were only some scenes of the carriages but, in this video, you can see guests arriving in carriages and leaving the church. Among them, the Prince and Princess of Wales, Queen Mother Maria Cristina with Princess Beatrice and finally the bride and groom, who left the church on the carriage of the crown.
She was buried in Lausanne until 1985, when she was transferred to El Escorial. After around 20 years at the Rotten Chambers, her remains where moved to her final rest at the Pantheon of Kings and Queens.
