Jaime del Burgo’s recent statements
Jaime del Burgo’s recent statements have generated a great deal of controversy surrounding the Spanish monarchy. According to these statements, Queen Letizia would have been unfaithful to King Felipe VI for a long period of time, which would be the real origin of her marital problems that began in 2013. This version would contradict the ‘official’ narrative attributed to the pressure from Letícia the distancing of the Infanta Cristina from the royal house. These accusations call into question the image of the queen, who until now had presented herself as a moral figure by criticizing the conduct of Joan Charles I.
Previous histories of infidelities
Stories related to infidelities in which Leticia was involved had already been mentioned previously. One such story stands out in particular: her alleged affair with a married man with children while in Mexico.
The turbulent youth of Queen Letícia in Mexico
During her youth, Letícia was known for her fondness for night life and casual encounters. According to Pilar Eyre, Letícia frequented the campsites of the Costa Brava, where she had an active sex life. In Mexico, she is said to have had several brief relationships. But it is the relationship with the married man that has gained special relevance and has been carefully hidden by the Royal House.
The lover’s ex-wife threatens to reveal the truth
To protect Letícia’s image and the stability of the monarchy, the National Intelligence Center (CNI), under the orders of Juan Carlos I, intervened to silence the lover’s ex-wife. Although the journalist chose not to speak to avoid problems in his career, the ex-wife was on the verge of revealing the truth out of resentment. Photographs and videos existed that could have proven the relationship, and the CNI had to carry out a delicate negotiation to prevent this evidence from coming to light.
The situation is still not resolved
Despite the CNI’s efforts, the situation is still not completely resolved. The ex-wife of Letícia’s lover says that she still keeps the evidence of the relationship and that several Mexican media are interested in publishing it. This latent threat represents a new challenge for the CNI, which must continue to protect the image of Queen Letizia while facing the constant risk that these secrets will be revealed.
