List of the Dames of the Order of Queen Maria Luisa

Ladies who have belonged throughout history to the Order of the Noble Ladies of Queen Maria Luisa are listed here. Currently and under the statutes in effect a single category is preserved, "Noble Lady", and the number remains limited to 30 holders, unless exceeded by the express will of the king. After Infante Juan of Spain, Count of Barcelona resigned his dynastic rights on 14 May 1977, during reigns of Juan Carlos I and Felipe VI no appointments have been made to the order, so although it formally remains in force, it can be considered that this order is dormant.[1]
