Her full name was Carmen Giménez Flores Brito y Milla. You can see why Antonio de Orleáns, Infanta Eulalia de Borbón's husband, fell for her. According to the La Infantona blogspot, Eulalia found out about Antonio's major side show when she travelled to Cuba and the Chicago World's Fair. "Durante un viaje a Cuba y posterior visita a Estados Unidos para asistir a la Exposición Universal de Chicago de 1893 como representante de la Familia Real Española, Eulalia de Borbón descubrió lo que era un secreto a voces, las relaciones que su marido, Antonio de Orleáns mantenía con una joven cordobesa llamada Carmela." ("During a trip to Cuba and later visit to the United States to attend the 1893 Chicago World's Fair 1893 as representative of the Spanish royal family, Eulalia de Borbón discovered what was an open secret, the relationship that her husband, Antonio de Orleáns had with a young Cordoban woman named Carmela.")
