Leonor and her life away from her parents
Leonor, the eldest daughter of Felipe and Letizia, has left her childhood behind and came of age last year. Currently, she lives far from her parents and prefers to avoid visits to Zarzuela, even on weekends, despite having an army helicopter at her disposal. During her military training in Zaragoza, she has made good friends and prefers to spend time with them. This decision may have been due to the fact that in her home she only heard arguments and she lived in an environment of constant tension.
The relationship between Leonor’s parents
Felipe and Letizia have faced several crises throughout their marriage. In 2012, there was speculation about a possible divorce, which would be unprecedented in the monarchy. Although this did not happen publicly, it is said that their relationship is completely broken and that they no longer want to pretend. According to some journalists, they lead separate lives and only meet at official events. The Royal Family has reportedly asked them to show more interest in each other in order to silence the rumours.
The impact of alleged infidelity
Recently, it has been revealed that the main problem between Felipe and Letizia was not the Juan Carlos scandal or the Nóos case, but a personal and private matter. According to Jaime del Burgo, Letizia would have been unfaithful to Felipe with him. These statements have caused great damage to the marriage and also to her daughters. Leonor learned from the press about her mother’s alleged infidelity and the impact this had on her father, which has generated tensions in her relationship with Letizia.
The current situation of Leonor’s parents
According to journalist reports, Felipe and Letizia would be separated but would not divorce for the good of the crown. They chose to stop living together, following the example of Juan Carlos and Sofía. Although they pretend to be a happy family in official engagements, the situation within Zarzuela is very different. Felipe lives in the prince’s pavilion, where Leonor and her sister Sofia also stay, while Letizia resides a kilometer away, near Queen Sofia, but not in the palace. These circumstances have contributed to Leonor preferring to stay away from family tension and seek stability and tranquility in other environments, such as her friends in Zaragoza.
