An unusual summer for the royal family
This year’s summer season has been marked by an unprecedented dynamic at the Royal House. While Felipe VI was dedicated to the traditional America’s Sailing Cup, Queen Letizia chose to travel to Paris to support Spanish athletes in the Olympic Games. The coincidence between them was limited to a family dinner, an attempt to show an image of unity in front of the media.
Vacations apart: a new chapter
After this brief meeting, Philip VI embarked on a journey to France, leaving Letizia and her daughters, Leonor and Sofia, on a luxurious yacht in Greek waters. The queen and the girls escaped to Greece, while the king faced an official trip to the Dominican Republic on August 15, a situation that has marked a new course in their relationship.
Discreet meetings and distances
Felipe, taking advantage of his stay in the Dominican Republic, visited his father in the Arab Emirates, a moment he spent discreetly before returning to Palma de Mallorca to meet Queen Sofia. This temporary separation was one of the first signs of a new stage in the marriage.
The shadows of the past: scandals and tensions
The summer has also witnessed the repercussions of a recent scandal. Jaime del Burgo revealed an alleged relationship between him and Letizia, which has caused tension between the couple. These statements, which have circulated between rumors and truths, have left their mark, causing the two to appear more independent and distant.
A new approach to your family life
With their individual commitments increasing, the couple have shared less time together. The lack of presence of the daughters has favored an atmosphere where their separation becomes more evident, with Felip absent most weekends.
Beyond summer: the future of the royal family
With the start of the new school year, the next meeting between Felip and Letizia is planned at the Escola Naval de Marín, where they will support their daughter Leonor. A possible visit to Wales with the infanta Sofia is also planned, moments that could be key for her public image and family dynamics.
