Thank you for that link - I'll certainly watch the virtual exhibit tour later.
If she never lived in Portugal, then do you know where she spent most of her years in exile during the Second Republic and then later? I also recall seeing many decades ago, a photo of her at the christening of one of her great-grandchildren some time just before her death in 1969, but now I can't remember which one she was the godmother of - must be Felipe or one of his sisters?

She often visited the UK during her husband’s reign. The last visit just weeks before the fall of the monarchy.
She never lived in Portugal, but visited her family many times.
For you. Kind of virtual tour

This certainly looks so interesting, I hope that later they will create an online virtual tour of the exhibit.
Do you know if Q. Victoria Eugenia ever returned to the UK for any visits after she married Alfonso XIII? Was she still residing in Portugal even after the separation from her husband? Previous Message
Wonderful exhibition on Queen Victoria Eugenia at the Royal Collections Gallery. Opened by the King this week.

Among the items to see, the train of the Queens of Spain, the coat of arms of Princess Victoria Eugenia, showing the coronet of a British Princess and the star of the exhibition, the fleur-de-lys tiara.
