An Enigmatic Relationship
For years, the dynamic between Felipe VI and Letícia has been shrouded in mystery. Rumors of a potential marital crisis have circulated strongly, suggesting that tensions may have started more than a decade ago. Despite the images of unity they project in public, figures such as Jaime Peñafiel and Pilar Eyre have stated that the marriage could be in a phase of decomposition for some time.
The Latest Rumors
Recently, the murmurs have intensified, especially as a result of a campaign that has attacked the figure of Queen Letizia. With their daughters, Elionor and Sofia, dedicated to their studies outside Zarzuela, the couple has begun to live increasingly separate lives. Although they appear together at official events, the lack of connection between them is palpable, and each seems to be charting his own path. In fact, it has been noted that they now avoid agreeing on public engagements whenever possible.
Leticia’s Private Life
Letícia, with an independent and reserved character, has found a way to distance herself from royal life. Sources close to her indicate that the Queen has created a circle of close friends with whom she meets regularly, especially on Thursday nights. These meetings, which often last until the wee hours of the morning, take place in a private villa on the outskirts of Madrid, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Here, Letícia can enjoy quiet dinners and moments of relaxation, away from the responsibilities that come with her position.
The Escapades of Felipe VI
On the other hand, Felipe VI has not been left behind in his search for moments of escape. He often meets with childhood friends, such as the Fuster brothers, to enjoy time in different places in Spain or at his residence in Pozuelo de Alarcón. He has also been seen alone, trying to keep a low profile, which has further fueled speculation about the emotional distance between him and the Queen.
Institutional Silence
The Royal House has chosen to maintain a strict silence on the speculations surrounding their relationship. Despite several opportunities to clarify rumors of infidelity or marital crises, they have decided not to comment, which has helped to increase suspense and public interest. Although they occasionally appear at joint events, most of the time the kings seem to prefer their independence, adding a layer of complexity to their public relationship.
