Don Fernando Juan Fitz-James-Stuart y de Solís, 15th Duke of Huéscar, Grandee of Spain (born 14 September 1990), is a Spanish . He is the current Duke of Huéscar, and heir-apparent to the dukedom of Alba and thereby to the Headship of the House of Alba.
The Duke of Huéscar was born in Madrid and is the eldest son of Carlos Fitz-James Stuart, 19th Duke of Alba (born Madrid, Spain, 2 October 1948), and Matilde de Solís (born in Navarre, Spain, 13 June 1963).
Fernando’s patriline is the line from which he is descended father to son. Patrilineal descent is the principle behind membership in Ducal Houses, as it can be traced back through the generations - which means that Fernando’s historically accurate House name is Irujo.
On 25 November 2015, Fernando inherited the title Duke of Huescar, the traditional title of the heir of the House of Alba since the 16th century, ceded by his father.
