Jaime del Burgo and his influence on the royal marriage
Jaime del Burgo has had a significant impact on the marriage formed by Letícia and Felip. According to Jaime Peñafiel, his revelations could endanger the Spanish monarchy. At the end of last year, he revealed a secret that has shaken Zarzuela. According to a lawyer who shared this information on social networks, it seems that the Queen had an extramarital relationship with Jaime del Burgo for several years. This alleged infidelity was discovered in 2012, at a time when there was talk of a major crisis in the princes’ marriage. Initially, it was believed that this crisis was caused by the complicated situation of the crown due to the scandals of Joan Charles, but in reality it was a personal problem, an infidelity. The Royal House has neither confirmed nor denied these claims, but there are indications that seem to confirm the end of the relationship (https://www.softcatala.org/resum-de-textos-en-catala/).
Pilar Eyre’s theory about the breakdown of marriage
According to Pilar Eyre, the marriage between Letícia and Felip no longer exists. It seems that the relationship broke down in 2012 and since then they have chosen to follow the model of Joan Carles and Sofia, ceasing coexistence. However, he does not rule out the possibility that they will divorce in April 2025, when the infanta Sofia is of age. This news can be especially joyful for the emerita, since with the loss of power of Letícia, the Borbó family has been able to meet more often without having to ask for permission. Several family events have been celebrated, such as the birthdays of Infanta Elena, Irene Urdangarin’s graduation, Sofia’s confirmation, Leonor’s birthday, John Charles I’s and even Queen Sofia’s.
The strained relationship between Leticia and Queen Sofia
There has been speculation about the tension between Leticia and Queen Sofia. According to some sources, the monarchs do not live under the same roof and only participate together in institutional events. In addition, it has been stated that Leticia has only visited Queen Sofia in the company of Felipe and without changing her clothes. These gestures make us suspect that the marriage between Leonor and Sofia’s parents is non-existent. However, there is no official confirmation of this situation.
Queen Sofia’s health and family visits
Queen Sofia has recently been hospitalized with a urinary tract infection. The doctors preferred to keep her under observation for a few days to receive proper treatment. During this period, Philip VI restricted visits to avoid false rumors about the queen’s health. The only people who visited her regularly were the king and his sister Elena. According to close sources, it was also reported that Infanta Cristina visited her this week. Even Queen Letícia went to visit her with the king just after arriving from the Canary Islands, where they had an institutional event. Surprisingly, they didn’t stop by the house to change clothes. These facts make us suspect that the marriage between Felipe and Letícia is non-existent, as some chroniclers of the Royal House claim. However, there is no official confirmation of this situation.
