Princess to divorce

November 27, 2009 Edition 1

MADRID: Spain's Princess Elena, 45, eldest child of King Juan Carlos, will divorce her husband after 14 years of marriage, the couple's lawyers said on Wednesday.

Elena married aristocratic banker Jaime de Marichalar, 46, in a lavish royal wedding in 1995 in Seville.

The couple separated two years ago. Their children, 11-year-old Froilan and 9-year-old Victoria, are reportedly living with their mother.

Marichalar suffered a stroke in 2001. - Sapa-dpa
