Принцесса Тамара Чарторыская: Модель, аристократка и звезда телевидения.

Polish Spanish model and aristocrat

Princess Tamara Laura Czartoryska (Spanish: Tamara Laura María de los Dolores Luisa Fernanda Victoria y Todos los Santos Czartoryski y Picciotto; born 23 April 1978) is a Polish Spanish former model, television star, and aristocrat. She is the daughter of Prince Adam Czartoryski y Borbón, first cousin to King Juan Carlos I of Spain.

Her mother, Nora Picciotto, born in Cairo, worked as a public relations consultant in the film industry, and married her father in London. Her parents separated and divorced before she was seven years old. She did not perform well at the Sacred Heart all girls boarding school in Woldingham, except in drama. When she was 15, she attended a tutorial college in Oxford for A levels. After her father suffered financial reverses when Lloyd's of London crashed, expensive pastimes such as riding ceased. She has said that this, in addition to her mother's break up with her stepfather, left her confused and without direction.

Paternally, Tamara belongs to the Czartoryski family, one of the most influential nobles in pre World War II Poland. She also descends from kings of Spain and France of the House of Bourbon through her grandmother, Princess Dolores de Borbón y Orléans, sister of King Juan Carlos's mother, whose dynastic surname she has appended to her own.

She is married to Portuguese aristocrat Lourenco de Castro de Vasconcelos e Sa (b.1976). They have one son, Liam August (b.2018), and one daughter, Taya (b.2019).

Her sporting achievements and aristocratic background led to roles as a presenter on a Thai kick boxing show, and appearances on Granada and Celebrity Five Go Dating. In March 2005, Tamara was one of the contestants on series three of The Games, winning the bronze medal. In 2006, she appeared on the reality television programmes Australian Princess and American Princess during which she offered advice to the competitors. In 2007, she was a contestant on Sky One's reality show Cirque de Celebrité.
