Jaime de Marichalar: A Life After Divorce

A New Stage

Jaime de Marichalar was reunited with members of the Borbó family, such as Felipe VI or Irene Urdangarin, among others, at the wedding of Teresa Urquijo’s cousin and Roberto Truque. Unlike Iñaki Urdangarin, the exduke of Lugo has not given the crown so many headaches. After his divorce from infanta Elena in 2007, the father of Victoria Federica y Froilán withdrew from the media spotlight and completely distanced himself from the Bourbons, seeking to recover from the stroke he suffered at the time.

Independence and Professional Success

The ex-duke of Lugo has managed to stay away from the Bourbons, without needing their money or their reputation. At that time, he established an important network of contacts that has served him to earn a living. Nowadays, he works as a consultant for several firms of the giant LVHM, an occupation he combines with the management of a tailoring brand and the public relations of another firm dedicated to high-end footwear. He has achieved all this by himself, after being left without financial support when he divorced the infanta Elena.

Resilience and Overcoming

Jaime de Marichalar never harmed the crown and behaved with dignity. She faced bad press from the media, who tarnished her image with completely fake news, and lost custody of her children. However, she stopped enjoying the luxuries that surrounded the Royal House, such as free travel and escorts, among other benefits.

Family and Relationships

Even so, Jaime de Marichalar never thirsted for revenge. He focused on his two children, despite having numerous disputes with the infanta Elena, with whom he does not have a good relationship. Queen Sofia maintains a good relationship with the two exes of the children, Iñaki and Jaime, and has held serious talks with them to help Felipe VI with his reign. In the case of Jaime de Marichalar, Queen Sofia would not bear him explaining the brief romance that Infanta Elena allegedly had with a man in New York, while he was recovering from a stroke and Victoria’s mother Federica y Froilán was already giving the relationship is over.
