Why not Martínez de Irujo for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 55-year-old princess, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Martínez de Irujo so important is the potential and influence she now has, rather than anything she has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the princess have already been named ‘Spaniard Of The Year’ by some major Spanish newspapers and even ‘Madrid Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Madrid (Eugenia Martínez de Irujo's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the princess was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Eugenia Martínez de Irujo Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”

“Congrats! Eugenia has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 5 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Eugenia Martínez de Irujo?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 5 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Eugenia Martínez de Irujo?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
