Despite being so close to the throne, Victoria does not hold the title of “princess.”

Instead, she is known as Dona Victoria de Marichalar de Borbon, Lady of Tejada.

She was already making waves at that point, though, having launched an Instagram account in 2019.

Victoria Federica is another royal who has gotten tattooed.

One important tattoo is of a sailboat, in honor of her grandfather, King Juan Carlos.

That doesn’t mean that she doesn’t want to have a family one day, though.

The country colonized dozens of nations across the globe, bringing Catholicism with it.

Victoria’s Catholic faith is a central part of her life.

“I am a practicing Catholic,” she told Elle Spain in an interview translated from Spanish.

“Every morning when I get up, I thank God.

The Lord is everything to me and in the church I find peace and tranquility.

She’s not one to rest on her laurels, though.

Instead, her goal is to have a broader impact on the fashion industry that goes beyond Instagram.
