Aristocrat and Actor. He was the son of the Marquises of Casa Riera and the brother of Fabiola de Mora y Aragón, who was the queen consort of Belgium from 1960 to 1993. Growing up amidst the splendor of the Palacio de Zurbano, Jaime was immersed in the rich tapestry of Spanish aristocratic life. Jaime's education began at the Colegio Alemán de Madrid in 1931, but with the onset of the Second Spanish Republic, he and his family went into exile outside of Spain. He continued his studies in schools in England, Switzerland, and France. He pursued various academic disciplines, including Perito Mercantil at the University of Alicante, Psychology, Sociology, and Psychiatry at the University of Sorbonne in Paris, and Law at Princeton University in the United States, although he did not complete the latter. Additionally, he was proficient in nine languages. Returning to Spain in 1940 to obtain his degree in mercantile expertise in Alicante, Jaime was a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem. For many years, he served as the head of the Marbella tourism office, where he promoted tourism in the region. He later settled in Torremolinos in the early 1960s before moving to Marbella in 1964, where he became a distinctive figure promoting tourism on the Costa del Sol until his passing. He even served as the protocol chief of the Marbella City Council. Jaime's eccentricity led him to venture into acting, forming a theatrical company and appearing in numerous films from the early 1960s onwards, often portraying eccentric and colorful characters reflective of his real-life persona. Some of his notable films include "Carola de día, Carola de noche" (1969), "El taxi de los conflictos" (1969), "Los extremeños se tocan" (1970), and "Hay que educar a papá" (1971), as well as international productions like "Nicolás y Alejandra" (1971). Jaime de Mora y Aragón was an academician of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Telmo and served as the Consul General of the Republic of Zaire.
