Queen Letizia loses influence in the institution
In recent months, it has become clear that the current queen has lost power in the Zarzuela institution. After the abdication of Juan Carlos, the mother of Leonor and Sofia has taken the reins of the crown, a role that should correspond to Felipe VI. This situation has generated a smear campaign against the monarch (https://www.softcatala.org/resum-de-textos-en-catala/).
Accusations of infidelity and deterioration of Letizia’s image
Jaime del Burgo has broken the pact and revealed that the Queen has had an extramarital affair with him for several years. These accusations have affected Letizia’s image and have allowed the Royal House to remove her without her being able to complain.
Tensions on the private life of Felipe i Letizia
While in the institution, Letizia has accepted the role of queen consort, Felipe finds it more difficult to control her at home. The discussions are constant and she is not ready to give in to the Bourbons. This has generated strong discomfort for the couple (https://www.softcatala.org/resum-de-textos-en-catala/).
Letizia protects her daughters from the family of Felipe VI
Letizia will not allow her daughters to have a public relationship with Felipe VI’s family. She is determined to ensure Leonor’s future reign and will not allow any family member to negatively affect her. This position has generated a smear campaign against her, but she does not give in (https://www.softcatala.org/resum-de-textos-en-catala/).
Changes in the Marivent calendar
This summer, there will be changes in the Marivent calendar. Letizia does not love any member of the Bourbon family except Queen Sofia and Irene of Greece. However, she continues to anger her mother-in-law with her decisions. Letizia will not allow any dinner with Queen Sofia to take place in Marivent. This has generated family tensions and affected the relationship between Letizia and the rest of the family (https://www.softcatala.org/resum-de-textos-en-catala/).
Letizia prioritizes Leonor’s military education
After Letizia’s international trip to Guatemala, the kings will take a well-deserved rest with their two daughters. In mid-August, Leonor will move to Pontevedra to continue her military training. Letizia is determined to ensure her daughter’s future reign and will not let anything stand in her way.
Queen Sofia wants a lunch with her grandchildren
Last summer, Queen Sofia proposed to have a lunch with her eight grandchildren. I wanted to take the opportunity to spend time with all of them and create a special memory. Felipe, Cristina and Elena agreed with the proposal, but Letizia did not allow it. Leonor and Sofia did not attend this meeting because Letizia considers her cousins a bad influence. Also, he doesn’t want to be photographed together.
