According to reports, the teenager is said to be very independent and intelligent. She also has a great sense of humor.
Where does she live?
Due to several crimes, Irene’s father was sentenced to several years in prison. The investigations were also fatal to her mother, who was accused of complicity and released from all royal obligations. In the summer of 2013, Cristina moved to Geneva with her children, where Irene is currently completing her final year at the International School of Geneva, also known as Ecolint. Cost of the training per student and year: CHF 30,000. This amount is paid by Irene’s grandfather, ex-king Juan Carlos.

Professionally, she could take any imaginable path.
