A private life under the public eye
Since her responsibilities in the royal family were reduced, Infanta Elena has opted for a more reserved approach to her life. Although her work at the Mapfre Foundation has been the focus of her attention, her personal life continues to capture the curiosity of many. With an annual salary of around 300,000 euros, she maintains a lifestyle that combines comfort and exclusivity in the heart of Madrid.
A home designed with love
The Infanta lives in a spacious 500-square-metre apartment in the Niño Jesús neighbourhood, which has been meticulously renovated. The renovations include adaptations to facilitate mobility, suggesting that her father, Juan Carlos I, might consider moving in with her in the future. Elena shares this elegant retreat with her daughter, Victoria Federica, with whom she has a complex but close relationship.
Elena: from seriousness to partying
Despite her image as a serious woman, Infanta Elena has a festive side that is particularly evident after dark. She is known to enjoy intimate dinners with friends and organize small parties at her home. However, these celebrations are not always well received by the neighbors, who often complain about the noise that filters into the early hours.
Passion for dancing and laughter
Since her youth, Elena has had a great inclination for dancing, a passion that intensifies during her nights out. Her lively and sometimes uninhibited character surprises those around her, turning evenings into moments full of laughter. Her humor, inherited from her father, becomes the life of the party, and it is common for those who accompany her not to want the night to end.
San Isidro nights and discreet getaways
One of the events where Infanta Elena shows her festive spirit is the San Isidro fair, a celebration she never misses. Her love for the festive atmosphere, the bulls and the subsequent celebrations is evident. However, she does not limit herself to this event; the Infanta enjoys Madrid’s nightlife, and when the music calls her, she does not hesitate to let herself go and dance on any stage.
Protection strategies for your image
Despite her enthusiasm, Infanta Elena is aware of the media attention that surrounds her. To avoid compromising situations, her security team has developed clever tactics. On the liveliest nights, it is common for the Infanta to leave through the back door of the venues she visits, thus protecting her image and avoiding awkward encounters with the paparazzi.
