Spanish Red Cross

The Duchess de Plasencia, Doña María de Gracia de Solís-Beaumont y Téllez-Girón, left behind a legacy of service and nobility that will be remembered for generations to come. Her dedication to the Spanish Red Cross and her membership in the Sovereign Military Order of Malta and the Constantinian Order of Saint George are testaments to her commitment to helping others and upholding the values of her noble heritage. As a second cousin once removed of the late Duchess de Medinaceli, Doña María de Gracia was deeply rooted in Spanish nobility and her life was marked by her strong sense of duty and compassion for those in need. Her marriage to Don Carlo Ruspoli, Duca di Morignano, in 1975 produced a daughter, Doña María de Gracia Ruspoli y Solís-Beaumont, who went on to have two children of her own. The Duchess de Plasencia’s life was a testament to her commitment to family and her noble heritage, and her passing on February 20, 2021, at the age of sixty-three, is a loss felt by all who knew her.

As we reflect on the life of the Duchess de Plasencia, we are reminded of the importance of service and nobility in our own lives. Her dedication to the Spanish Red Cross and her membership in the Sovereign Military Order of Malta and the Constantinian Order of Saint George are inspiring examples of how we can make a positive impact on the world around us. The Duchess de Plasencia’s life was marked by her strong sense of duty and compassion for those in need, and her passing is a reminder to us all to continue her work in our own way. Whether through service to others or upholding the values of our noble heritage, we can all strive to make a difference in the world, just as the Duchess de Plasencia did. May her memory be a blessing to us all, and may we continue to be inspired by her example of service and nobility.
