HRH The Count of Paris and HRH The Duchess of Montpensier are pleased to announce of their engagement, HRH Prince Jean, Duke of Vendome, to Miss Philomena Tornos y Steinhart.
Philomena, who works in the maritime industry in France, is the daughter of Alfonso Tornos and his wife, Maria Antonia Steinhart. She has at least one brother, David.
Philomena's grandfather, Juan, was the head of the late Count of Barcelona's secretariat. Although some have used "de Tornos", in their articles, the family is not noble. Alfonso and the Austrian-born Maria Antonia live in Vienna.
The media first got wind of this relationship in September when Philomena accompanied Jean to the gala at Versailles, celebrating the reopening of the Petit Trianon.
No date has been set for the wedding.
Prince Jean is the future de jure king of France. A previous engagement to HH Duchess Tatiana of Oldenburg ended some weeks before the marriage was to have taken place.

And what a shame that the previous marriage did not take place. Still if they hadn't been able to resolve their differences then, they wouldn't have been able to afterwards
