Marriage and Children
On 6 March 1886, at Madrid, Eulalia married her first cousin Infante Antonio de Orleans y Borbón, son of Antoine, Duke of Montpensier and of his wife, Infanta Luisa Fernanda of Spain. The officiant was Cardinal Zeferino González y Díaz Tuñón, Archbishop of Seville. The wedding had been delayed several months on account of the death of Eulalia's brother King Alfonso XII. Eulalia and Antonio spent their honeymoon at the Palacio Real de Aranjuez.
Eulalia and Antonio had two sons:
- Alfonso de Orleans y Borbón (1886–1975)
- Luis Fernando de Orleans y Borbón (1888–1945)
After the birth of her younger son, Eulalia lived apart from her husband. She maintained residences in Spain and Paris, but often visited England.
