She was born Maria Antonia Roberta Blanka Leopoldina Karole Josepha Raphaela Michaela Ignatia Aurelia in Zagreb on July 13, 1899.  She was married twice.  The first marriage took place in Barcelona on July 16, 1924, when she married Ramon Orlandis y  Villalonga (1896-1936.)  In 1942, in Uriguay, she married Argentine-born Don Luis Perez Sucre.
