Royal Marriage Pacts
Juan Carlos I is in the process of closing agreements with members of royalty from other countries. The original intention was for his son, Philip VI, to marry a member of another royal house to unite two monarchies, but this plan was not successful.
According to Isidre Cunill, at that time Prince Felipe was a very reserved person and used a dating agency run by Javier Hidalgo. It is said that he solicited attractive women, even going so far as to ask for ‘pretty girls from television’. The reason behind Felipe’s lack of interest in women was not his shyness, but rather his true sexual orientation, according to Laura Rodríguez. It is speculated that Leonor and Sofía’s father could be homosexual, something that he would have confessed to his father when he was young.
The Marriage of Felipe VI and Letizia
The emeritus king forced Felipe to find a partner and marry to ensure succession to the throne and start a family. After failing with other women, such as Isabel Sartorius and Eva Sannum, Felipe finally met Letizia. It is said that both Isabel and Eva accepted the agreement proposed by the prince to appear to be in a relationship. According to Maica Vasco, the marriage between Felipe and Letizia would have been a farce from the beginning. It is stated that their relationship is non-existent, and they only maintain an appearance of togetherness at institutional events.
For this reason, each one led his life separately. Letizia continued her relationship with Jaime del Burgo, her partner at the time. According to Laura Rodríguez, the entire process was made easier for Felipe, including his meeting with Jaime del Burgo, thanks to the intervention of Juan Carlos. Both parents agreed to the false marriage with Letizia.
Conclusion
These revelations raise questions about the authenticity of the royal marriage. Despite appearances, the relationship between Felipe and Letizia seems to be more of an association of convenience than a genuine marriage, according to the sources consulted.
