Marta Chávarri and Alberto Cortina caught in Vienna

January 1989. Marta Chávarri, 28, married to the Marquis of Cubas, Carlos Falcó, and great-granddaughter of Count Romanones, and Alberto Cortina, 42, married to Alicia Koplowitz, owner of Construcciones y Contratas, the largest construction company from Spain, leave a hotel in Vienna together. The exclusive was obtained by the Queen agency and published on the cover of Ten Minutes magazine, which had mobilized five agencies (in Vienna, Paris, Rome, London and Monte Carlo), to obtain proof of the adulterous relationship between the financier and the young marquise The magazine paid 8,400,000 pesetas for the report. That relationship had been discussed in high society circles for months. It was said that they had started dating the previous summer in Mallorca.

The publication immediately broke up both marriages and sparked a major financial storm. Alberto Cortina, who was a manager in Construction and Contracts, owned by his wife, was forced to resign from all his posts after twenty years. She became the most coveted prey for photographers. She separated and left her son, Álvaro, in the care of her husband, Carlos Falcó. The cover of Diez Minutos also revalued other photographs of Marta Chávarri, taken the previous summer, at the Mau-Mau nightclub in Madrid, in which she appeared without underwear. The photographer had positioned the camera at seat height and when developing the photos he realized that the flash had clearly illuminated the legs and the bare pubis under the tight skirt. Nobody or almost nobody had shown interest in the images in the month of June at that time, but after the Diez Minutos exclusive, the magazine Interviú paid six million and published them.

It launched three editions and sold two million copies, one of the records in its history, although it was ordered to indemnify Chávarri with 34 million, the highest amount paid up to then in Spain for the right to honor, privacy and the image, although Marta asked for 200. Cortina and Chávarri married in 1991 and separated in 1995. His second marriage also ended due to infidelity, when she discovered that Cortina was seeing a former model Silvia Riera. He remarried the socialite Elena Cué, in 200, with whom he had a daughter, in 2006. Marta did not remarry, although many other couples were known to him (among them Phillipe Junot, father of the fiancée or his son Álvaro, or the banker Javier Salaverri) and later had health problems. Marta's style – tight pants, turtleneck sweater, tweed blazer, cowboy boots and long hair of blonde streaks – made history in the eighties and nineties. She was the first Spanish "it girl". Since 2013, he has had a slight deformity in his face after a domestic accident. Today he dedicates himself to painting and traveling in the most absolute discretion.

The most expensive exclusive (and never seen): Lady Di hunted at the Byblos Hotel in "topless"

May 1994. Lady Diana Spencer, recently separated from Prince Charles of England, decides to spend a few days on vacation on the Costa del Sol and stays with two friends at the Hotel Byblos, very popular with the Jet, which opens from its doors again after ten years closed. The next day, the news had already leaked and dozens of photographers and several mobile units packed the entrance to Byblos. In the pool there were more "paparazzi" than customers. The photo arrived on the third day: Diana opened her towel to lie on her stomach but was not wearing her bikini top. In a burst of 22 snapshots, the photographer Diego Arrabal, hidden among some bushes, captured the princess with her bare breasts. The price that was negotiated was 200 million pesetas exclusively worldwide; half if it was only national. The photos and negatives remained in a safe in Madrid.

On the fourth day, Eduardo Sánchez-Junco, editor of «¡Hola!», announced that he was staying with them. He paid the 200 million and, it is said that, immediately afterwards, he put the 22 slides in a bowl, doused them with alcohol and set them on fire. Hello magazine had just appeared in Great Britain and this was not the first time that Sánchez-Junco saved the princess from a bind. He developed a good friendship with her.

The Prince poses with Eva Sannum in India

December 2000. It was a full-fledged posing: a relaxed Prince Philip holding Norwegian model Eva Sannum by the shoulders, during a vacation trip to India. The photos were from the previous August and were on the cover of "Hello!" magazine. But was that an exclusive? What were those photos worth? If it had really been an exclusive, the photos would have cost about 50 million pesetas. But the reality is that they were not. The magazine "Hello!" did not pay anything: it is said that the photos were leaked by the protagonists. "When a person feels something for another, if they keep quiet on the outside, they shout it on the inside," the magazine said.

The first images of the Prince and Eva Sannum had been captured three years earlier, in the Cuchi restaurant in Madrid. Since then, nothing had happened to confirm or deny their relationship. But the press agencies stood guard in Oslo and had photographed the model several times, although always alone. It was said that "Hello!" he bought photos in which the two appeared, but did not publish them. He reserved himself, perhaps because he already knew that the great exclusive was yet to come. Shortly after the cover of "Hello!", a photographer from the Korpa agency bumped into Eva Sannum at the Zurich airport by chance. The Prince was waiting for her in a car a few meters away. The magazine "Hello!" Yes, he published those images after paying 15 million pesetas (90,000 euros). The relationship did not continue for much longer. On December 14, 200, Don Felipe made a surprise announcement to journalists that they had decided to take different paths.
