[edit] Disputed
Maria Pia mixed frequently with the jet set idle rich. For many years she maintained an ongoing friendship with the exiled King Alfonso XIII of Spain and his son Infante Jaime, Duke of Segovia. Much correspondence exists between Maria and members of European royal families recording her efforts to gain legitimacy within royal circles.
As far as I know, Maria Pia was a joke among European royalty. Are there any sources for these statements? Charles 19:15, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- All three of the sentences which Charles quotes are correct and verifiable in the biography by Jean Pailler. Maria Pia:
- mixed with the jet set idle rich;
- maintained a friendship with Don Alfonso XIII and Don Jaime;
- wrote to various royals trying to gain legitimacy.
- What evidence can Charles provide that any of these facts are "dubious"?
- It seems to me that Maria Pia must have been an absolutely charming individual. But merely because people enjoyed her company doesn't mean that they recognised her claims. We can't say that, however, in the article, because we are limited to summarizing published sources. Noel S McFerran 19:44, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

- Noel, I disputed statements because they did not seem correct to me. I was merely trying to find sources. As for dubious, that is the name of the template, not something of my choosing. Now that I know where it has come from I shall remove the tag. Charles 22:40, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
