[edit] Life
Born Principessa Maria Beatrice Elena Margherita Ludovica Caterina Ramona di Savoia (English: Princess Mary Beatrice Helen Margaret Louise Catherine Ramona of Savoy), she was the third daughter and fourth and last child of the Prince and Princess of Piedmont, known as "Titti" to family and friends. When she was three years old, her father reigned Italy as Umberto II for slightly over a month, from 9 May 1946 to 12 June 1946. The family was then exiled and briefly gathered in Portugal, where her parents decided to separate; she and her siblings went with their mother to Switzerland while their father remained in Portugal.

Princess Maria Beatrice attempted to marry Italian actor Maurizio Arena in 1967 but was prevented by her family who filed a law suit claiming that she was mentally unfit to marry.[1][2] The law suit was dropped in early 1968 when the relationship ended.[3]
Titti married Luis Rafael Reyna-Corvalán y Dillon (18 April 1939 – 17 February 1999), son of Cesar Augusto Reyna-Corvalán and Amalia Maria Dillon Calvo, on 1 April 1970 in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. They were also married in a religious ceremony in January 1971 at Córdoba, Spain. The couple had three children:

For some time, her mother lived with her and her children in Mexico.
