Alejandra Carlota Isabel Elena is the Empress of Tehua. She is the daughter of the fourth son of Emperor Agustín III, Fernando Carlos Francisco, and his wife, Demetra Isabel Cabrera Santa Cruz. She is the niece and successor of Emperor Maximiliano IV. When she succeeded her uncle, Alejandra became the first Empress Regnant in Tehuan history. In accordance with the Constitution, Alejandra is the head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces. However, unlike most of her male predecessors, she never appears in military uniform. As a constitutional monarch, Alejandra acts on the advice of a government that enjoys the confidence of the elected Cortes. While her own political views are private, she is publicly viewed as an icon of Tehuan national identity and revival.
Birth and Family
Alejandra's father was Fernando Carlos Francisco, the fourth son of Emperor Agustín III. Prior to her birth, the only legitimate grandchild of Agustín III had been Isabel Juana Maria. Her death in 1988 precipitated a succession crisis that put pressure on the other members of the imperial family to marry and have children. In 1990, Fernando married Donna Demetra Isabel Cabrera Santa Cruz, the daughter of Pedro Cabrera Rojas, Duke of Tula. Her brother Dimas Cabrera Santa Cruz is the current duke.
Alejandra was baptized by Bartolomé Cardinal Cortés in the Metropolitan Cathedral of St. Michael the Archangel in San Miguel on 19 October 1992. At birth, she was fifth in the line of succession after the four eldest sons of Agustín III: Agustín Cristóbal Domingo (later Agustín IV), Maximiliano Claudio Martin (later Maximiliano IV), Antonio Juan Marcos, and her father. During her life, her uncles had several children who were briefly ahead of her in the line of succession. However, none survived past infancy. After the deaths of her grandfather on 9 May 2004, Agustín IV on 9 November 2007, Archduke Antonio on 7 April 2008, and her father on 18 April 2009, she found herself heir presumptive to Maximiliano IV at the age of 17.
Alejandra, as a female male-line descendant of Agustín I, was entitled to the style Archduchess of Tehua from birth. She attended the coronations of her uncles Agustín IV and Maximiliano IV. On 18 October 2016, she was awarded the Order of the Golden Eagle from her uncle, the Chief and Sovereign of the Order.
