In Cannes today (August 8, 1936),
Infanta Maria
del Pilar, the first born child of the Prince and Princess of the Asturias, was baptised. The Roman Catholic ceremony took place at the church of
Notre Dame
des Pins. Although King Alfonso XIII was unable to attend his granddaughter's baptism, Queen
Ena was present, as was the baby's great-grandmother, the Countess of
Caserta.
Pilar was named for the Virgin
del Pilar at
Saragosse.
