The Smear Campaign
In recent months, a smear campaign has been launched against Queen Letizia, which has had a significant impact on her public image. During the ten-year reign of Felipe VI, Letizia has been a prominent figure, always denying the role of queen consort. However, she has recently been forced to accept this role, while the monarch has been relegated to the background.
The accusations of infidelity on the part of Jaime del Burgo have generated a great controversy. These accusations, along with the production of a documentary series expected to be launched in 2025, have contributed to the negative perception of the Queen. Although these claims have yet to be proven, they have had a significant impact on her reputation, portraying her as an adulterous woman and prompting merciless attacks by pseudo-journalists.
Some theories suggest that this smear campaign could be a strategy by the Royal House to undermine Letizia’s popularity. Others speculate that Juan Carlos could be behind this campaign, an opinion that is also shared by the queen herself. This situation has once again made life impossible for Letizia, generating tensions within the Royal House.
The Current Situation of the Royal House
Recently, a significant event has occurred within the Royal House. Juan Carlos, after being forced to leave Spain, has been excluded from family and official celebrations. This exclusion has been reflected in the 10th anniversary of the proclamation of Felipe VI as King of Spain, where no member of the Bourbon family has been invited, making it clear that they no longer have any role within the monarchy.
In addition, the presence of Juan Carlos at any private party in Zarzuela has been banned, evidencing his exclusion from the family and official life of the Royal House. This situation has culminated in his departure to the Arab Emirates, being considered the exiled king. This decision has generated a feeling of humiliation in Juan Carlos, who believes that Letizia is the architect of this situation.
