Maria Christina of Austria (1858-1929): A Remarkable Queen-Regent of Spain Amidst the grandeur of the Exposition Universelle of 1900 in Paris, the Spanish Pavilion stood proudly, a testament to the rich history and culture of Spain. Within it, the funerary monument of Maria Christina of Austria, Queen-Regent of Spain from 1885 to 1902, took center stage. Born as Archduchess of Austria, Maria Christina became the Duchess of Teschen upon her marriage to Prince Albert of Saxony in 1879. However, her life took an unexpected turn when her husband abdicated in favor of their son, Alfonso, in 1885. Maria Christina, now Queen-Regent, ruled Spain during her son's minority, guiding him through his formative years. King Alphonso XIII, with his mother, Christina, by his side, graced the world with a regal presence. In this black and white photograph from the late 1800s, the mother-son duo exuded an air of strength and unity. Maria Christina's reign was marked by political instability and economic challenges. Yet, she remained steadfast, leading her people with grace and determination. Her leadership was captured in various portraits, including this enchanting one by Sorolla y Bastida. Before her marriage to Prince Albert, Maria Christina had been betrothed to Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. However, the union was never consummated, leaving her free to marry Prince Albert of Saxony instead. This engraving from the late 1800s depicts her as a young, vibrant woman, full of promise and potential. Despite the challenges she faced during her regency, Maria Christina remained a beacon of strength and resilience. Her legacy continues to inspire, a testament to her unwavering dedication to her country and her people.
