Her younger brother announced the sad news.
“S.A.R. Don Sixto Enrique de Borbón communicates that this Thursday, March 26, 2020, has passed away in Paris, at eighty-six years old, his sister Maria Teresa de Bourbon Parma and Bourbon Busset, victim of coronavirus COVID-19,” a translation of the prince’s announcement reads.
Princess Maria Teresa, of the Bourbon-Parma Royal Family, was born in Paris, France on July 28, 1933 to parents, Prince Xavier and Madeleine de Bourbon.
She was called the Red Princess as she was an advocate of women’s rights and ideas.
Spain is one of the most affected countries with more than 5000 deaths.
