The Bourbon Dynasty and Family Relations
The Bourbon royal family faces challenges in intergenerational relationships, especially between King Felipe and his older sisters, Elena and Cristina. Public meetings between them reflect a lack of closeness, which has generated a tense atmosphere within the royal family.
Division in the Next Generation
The tension has spread to the next generation of Bourbons, with Juan Carlos’ grandchildren divided into two groups, with Princess Leonor facing challenges in her family relationships. The princess finds herself in a situation where she can only count on the support of her sister Sofia, since her cousins Marichalar and Urdangarin do not show empathy towards her.
Dynamics in Family Events
The family dynamic becomes evident in events such as Irene’s recent birthday party, where the absence of Leonor and Sofía is notable. Hola magazine, like other publications, reflects this dynamic by not highlighting Irene on its cover, which indicates a distance between members of the royal family.
Impact on Public Image
Queen Letizia’s public image has been affected, as her presence in magazines has decreased significantly. Despite her efforts, her participation in cooperation events has not managed to regain her popularity in the media.
Future Perspectives
The situation between cousins Leonor and Irene seems to have no solution in the short term, which raises questions about the future of family relations in the Bourbon dynasty. Meanwhile, Princess Eleanor continues to face challenges on her path to the succession.
