A twist in the Royal House
The origin of the smear campaign against Letizia is unknown, but it has led to a significant change in the Royal House. During the last decade, Letizia had assumed a leading role in the institution, relegating Felipe to the background. However, the situation has taken a turn, forcing her to accept the role of her queen consort, which she firmly resisted.
The resurgence of the Bourbons
Following Jaime del Burgo’s statements, the Bourbons have regained power in the crown and in the family. Felipe VI has taken control of the decisions and has given greater prominence to his family. They have met on numerous occasions, celebrating events such as birthdays and other family events.
The return of Irene Urdangarin
Irene Urdangarin has returned to Zarzuela, settling back into the royal environment. After finishing her volunteering in Cambodia, she has returned to Madrid, where she plans to spend the summer. She has been romantically linked to Juan Urquijo, which has generated expectations about her future. Although her direction is still uncertain, her mother Cristina has made it clear that she prefers that she continue with her university studies.
New challenges for Letizia
Letizia’s situation is challenged by the intensification of the relationship between Irene Urdangarin and Juan Urquijo, who will frequent Zarzuela. This new scenario implies that Letizia will have to accept the presence of the couple in the royal environment, even in the Prince’s Pavilion, where her influence is limited.
