A Relationship with Ups and Downs
Like many couples, Kings Felipe VI and Letizia have experienced ups and downs throughout their almost two decades of marriage and more than 20 years of relationship. However, if there is something that stands out among all of them, it is the impact of Jaime del Burgo’s revelations, which have caused great damage to both the relationship and the monarchy.
The Impact of Revelations
Jaime del Burgo, lawyer and ex-husband of Telma Ortiz, shook the royal house at the end of last year by revealing in an interview that he had maintained relations with Queen Letizia before becoming engaged to Felipe and after the birth of Princess Leonor and the Infanta Sofia These revelations began with the famous publication of a photo of Letizia and the pashmina, and continued with several more revealing messages.
The Return of Jaime del Burgo
Although many thought that Jaime del Burgo had left the conflict behind by deleting his messages and stopping publishing, he has recently returned to the fray. In his last message, he has been especially harsh with the Spanish royalty, criticizing the presidents and the monarchy. These statements have generated concern in the royal house and have led King Felipe VI to take action.
Ultimatum from Felipe VI to Letizia
Given the persistence of Jaime del Burgo and the possibility of him publishing a controversial book, King Felipe VI has given an ultimatum to Queen Letizia. With the 20th anniversary of her marriage approaching in May, the monarch wishes to avoid any interference that could damage the image of unity and harmony they wish to project. Therefore, he has warned Letizia that if she fails to stop Jaime del Burgo, the royal house will intervene to prevent further damage to her person and to her institution.
