The Queen’s decisions during a complicated summer
Queen Letícia has chosen not to alter her summer plans to participate in the funeral of Juan Gómez-Acebo, scheduled in Madrid for August 15. The decision was influenced by the state trip that King Felipe VI had planned, forcing the family to postpone the event until after Gómez-Acebo’s cremation.
A summer of distance and reflection
In a summer that has been marked by an obvious distance, Letícia has chosen to enjoy her holidays without the company of her husband. After Jaime del Burgo’s controversial statements, it has become clear that the relationship between the queen and the king has gone through tense moments, with Felipe absent most weekends. They have only met once at a family dinner to keep up appearances.
Luxuries and isolation on board a yacht
Letícia has left for Palma de Mallorca on board a luxury yacht, rented by the Royal House, which amounts to more than 6,000 euros per day. With amenities such as a jacuzzi, swimming pool, gym and cinema, the queen enjoys a stay at sea, away from the media bustle and her responsibilities.
Holidays in Greece with friends
The latest information indicates that Letícia is currently in Greece, accompanied by a group of friends. Although it is rumored that he is traveling without his daughters, Leonor and Sofia, or his husband, Felipe VI is suspected to have traveled to the Dominican Republic to attend the inauguration of the country’s new president.
Staying out of the limelight
In order to avoid the gaze of the paparazzi, the Queen and her friends have chosen to remain on board the ship, which sails through Greek waters. This holiday, her first without her husband, has raised suspicions about the health of her marriage, with experts pointing out that the estrangement is becoming increasingly evident.
An uncertain future and institutional commitments
Letícia plans to return to Spain when her daughter Leonor resumes her military studies in Pontevedra, accompanying her on her first day. In September, the Queen will resume her institutional activities, although she will continue on holiday until the following week, hinting at a future full of unknowns for the royal family.
