A year of pain and silence
The Royal House has maintained a discreet and reserved profile in the face of the personal turmoil it has faced recently. Rumors about family tensions and the health of its members have circulated without any official statement on the matter.
The losses that mark the crown
This year has been particularly difficult for the royal family, not only because of the controversies generated by the statements of figures such as Jaime del Burgo, but also because of the series of personal losses that have deeply affected their family dynamics.
Goodbye loved ones
Just over a year ago, Queen Sofia said goodbye to her brother Constantino, an unexpected loss that shocked the family. In the following months, the health of Irene of Greece, an unconditional support for the emerita, has deteriorated dramatically, leaving the queen with an expression of deep sadness.
The last family meeting
Recently, Juan Gómez-Acebo, one of Felipe VI’s cousins, died, a fact that left the family devastated. The excitement intensified with the death of Juan, who, in the previous days, had been able to say goodbye to the king, although he could not attend his funeral because he was on vacation.
The desire to return home
Juan, knowing that his end was imminent, decided to leave Miami and return to Spain to spend his last moments surrounded by his loved ones in Palma de Mallorca, a place that had always been a haven of happiness during his childhood.
The visit that marked a farewell
Philip VI’s visit to Juan before his death was a significant moment for both of them, as they were aware that it would probably be the last time they would see each other. This meeting, marked by the awareness of the limited time, reflected the depth of the family bond, despite the difficulties they had to endure in silence.
An uncertain future
The Royal House continues to navigate turbulent waters, with a year marked by loss and reflection. While the family tries to maintain their privacy, the current circumstances raise questions about how they will face these challenges in the future.
