A discreet profile
Little is said about Juan Urdangarin, who has maintained a very discreet profile over the years. Unlike his brother Pablo, who has been the spokesperson for the family during his parents’ breakup, Juan has preferred to stay away from the media spotlight. Although he has sometimes been seen in the company of his mother, he has decided to stay in the United Kingdom, where he has resided since he began his university studies.
Humiliation and bullying
Juan Urdangarin, as the first-born of Infanta Cristina, experienced firsthand the public humiliation of his parents due to the Nóos case. During that time, he suffered bullying at school and witnessed people insulting his father in the street. These events led him to leave his friends and his home in Barcelona to move to Washington and then Geneva.
A spiritual life
Unlike his brothers, Juan Urdangarin is a very religious and spiritual person. He has inherited this character from his grandmother, Queen Sofia, and from his aunt Pecu. Although his brothers frequently make headlines, he prefers to stay in the background and protect his private life.
Commitment to humanitarian causes
Juan Urdangarin has dedicated part of his life to humanitarian causes. Like his sister Irene, he is very religious and spiritual. He has participated in social projects in collaboration with organizations such as the NGO Entreculturas and the Sauce Foundation. His commitment to these initiatives demonstrates his desire to contribute to the well-being of others.
Overcoming difficult times
Juan Urdangarin’s life has not been free of difficulties. He has had to face very hard times, especially during the Nóos case, when he had to witness the moves, the insults and see his father in prison. These experiences have left a mark on him and have required psychological support over the years.
In search of spirituality
Thanks to his work, Juan Urdangarin has the opportunity to be away for seasons and dedicate himself to his spiritual life. During these periods, he retreats to completely isolated monasteries, without access to technology. His only mission right now is to find God and guide his path. To date, he has no known romantic partner.
