Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg (Victoria Eugenie Julia Ena; 24 October 1887 – 15 April 1969) was Queen of Spain as the wife of King Alfonso XIII.
Victoria Eugenie was born on 24 October 1887 at Balmoral Castle, in Scotland. Her father was Prince Henry of Battenberg, the fourth child and third son of Prince Alexander of Hesse and by Rhine by his morganatic wife Countess Julia Hauke, and her mother was Princess Beatrice, the fifth daughter and youngest child of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
As Prince Henry was the product of a morganatic marriage, he took his style of Prince of Battenbergfrom his mother, who had been created Princess of Battenberg in her own right. As such, Henry's children would normally have been born with the style "Serene Highness"; however, Queen Victoria had issued a Royal Warrant on 4 December 1886 granting the higher style of "Highness" to all sons and daughters of Prince Henry and Princess Beatrice, thus she was born Her Highness Princess Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg.[1] She was named for her grandmother Victoria and for her godmother Eugénie de Montijo, the Spanish-born French empress who lived in exile in the United Kingdom. To her family, and the British general public, she was known by the last of her names, as Ena.
Victoria Eugenie grew up in Queen Victoria's household, as the British monarch had reluctantly allowed Beatrice to marry on the condition that she remain her mother's full-time companion and personal secretary. Therefore, she spent her childhood at Windsor Castle, Balmoral, and Osborne House on the Isle of Wight. She was a bridesmaid at the wedding of her cousins, the Duke (later King George V) and Duchess of York on 6 July 1893.[2]
Her father died while on active military service after contracting fever in Africa in 1896. After the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, the Battenbergs moved to London and took up residence in Kensington Palace.
Victor Frederick Cochrane Hervey, 6th Marquess of Bristol (6 October 1915 – 10 March 1985), was a British aristocrat, hereditary peer and businessman. He was a member of the House of Lords, Chancellor of the International Monarchist League, and an active businessman who later became a tax exile in Monaco.[1]
Victor was the only son of Herbert Arthur Robert Hervey, 5th Marquess of Bristol. He acquired a notorious reputation as a playboy and petty criminal in the 1930s, which culminated in him being imprisoned for jewellery theft in 1939. He inherited the Marquessate on his father's death in 1960, and acquired a large fortune through this and his business dealings. He was married three times and is the father of John Hervey, 7th Marquess of Bristol, Frederick Hervey, 8th Marquess of Bristol, Lord Nicholas Hervey, Lady Victoria Hervey and Lady Isabella Hervey. He spent his final years in Monaco with his third wife and three youngest children.
Victor was born on 6 October 1915 as the only son of Herbert Arthur Robert Hervey, 5th Marquess of Bristol, and Lady Jean Cochrane, the daughter of the 12th Earl of Dundonald.[2] His godmother was Queen Victoria Eugenie of Spain. He held the titles of Earl of Bristol, Earl Jermyn (by which title he was known until inheriting the Marquessate), and Baron Hervey of Ickworth in Suffolk. He was Hereditary High Steward of the Liberty of Bury St Edmunds, was patron of thirty Church of England benefices, and held estates in Suffolk, Essex, Lincolnshire, and Dominica in the West Indies.
He was educated at Eton and at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, but thrown out of the latter because of bad temperament.[3] He was sometime President of the National Yacht Harbour Association, a member of the House of Lords Yacht Club, the Hurlingham Club, and the East Hill Club, Nassau, Bahamas.[4]
Crime and Imprisonment
Victor became involved in theft and small crime as a young adult; he has been called the Pink Panther of his day and the ringleader of a gang of former public school boys known as the Mayfair Playboys, who assaulted and robbed a jeweller from Cartier, as a result of which two of them (but not Hervey) were sentenced to being flogged with the cat-o'-nine-tails.[5][6]In July 1939, Hervey was arrested and charged with stealing jewelry, rings and a mink fur coat with a total value of £2,500 from a premises in Queen Street, Mayfair and £2,860 of jewelry from a property on Park Lane. He was refused bail,[7] and imprisoned for three years.[8] The recorder of the court observed: "The way of the amateur criminal is hard. But the way of the professional is disastrous".[1] He later sold an article about his life and exploits to a newspaper.[9] His father, who had led a respectable life, as had been the case for all Marquesses of Bristol since the Victorian era, broke down in tears on hearing the sentence.[3]
Business dealings
Prior to receiving his trust income, Victor declared bankruptcy in 1937 with debts of £123,955, (approximately £7.21 million today).[10] He had been selling guns during the Spanish Civil War to both sides, hoping to receive £30,000 as a bribe which failed and led to the debts.[3] He nevertheless continued in his arms-dealing activities and was Franco's principal agent for many years. Bristol went on to amass a fortune, both inherited and earned, estimated to be in excess of £50 million.[citation needed]In 1941, Victor claimed to have been listed in a secret document written by Heinrich Himmler as an enemy of the Third Reich, but this was never proven and there is no evidence such a document ever existed[3]
In 1973[4] he was recorded as having a great many business interests, with estates in Suffolk, Lincolnshire and Essex. He was then Chairman of Sleaford Investments Limited, Eastern Caravan Parks Ltd., Estates Associates Ltd., Ickworth Forestry Contractors Ltd., Cyprus Enterprises Co., V.L.C. Associates Ltd., Marquis of Bristol & Co., The Bristol Publishing Company, Radio Maria Ickworth Automatic Sales Ltd., Bristol International Airways Ltd., Dominca Enterprises Co., World Liberty Plots and other companies. He owned the Ickworth Stud, Suffolk, and the Emerald Hillside Estates in Dominica.
Lady Victoria Frederica Isabella Hervey (born 6 October 1976)[1] is an English model, socialite, aristocrat, and former "It girl". She is the daughter of the 6th Marquess of Bristol, half-sister of the 7th Marquess and sister of the 8th Marquess and Lady Isabella Hervey.

金正恩氏、暗殺警戒し専用ベンツ乗らず 幹部に贈ったレクサス搭乗か - 産経ニュース

韓国の情報機関、国家情報院は１５日、北朝鮮の金正恩・朝鮮労働党委員長が米韓による「斬首作戦」と呼ばれる暗殺を警戒し、移動時には自分の専用車のベンツに乗らず、党幹部らに贈った多数あるトヨタ・レクサスに乗っていると国会に報告した。
非公開の情報委員会での報告内容として、出席した国会議員が明らかにした。国情院は北朝鮮メディアが正恩氏の活動を報じる頻度が最近減っていることを挙げ、正恩氏が「権力掌握に成功し、（露出を減らすことで）自分の威信を高めようとしている」と分析したという。
国情院によると、北朝鮮は今月末に韓国で開催予定のテコンドーの国際大会に、張雄・国際オリンピック委員会（ＩＯＣ）委員ら３２人の代表団を送ることも韓国政府に通告してきた。
また、北朝鮮内部で石油製品の価格が急騰しており、国情院は国連安全保障理事会の制裁決議を受けた中国の輸出削減の影響とみているという。（共同）
