The impact of John Charles I’s health on the royal family
Infanta Elena, considered the most devoted of the Borbó family, has shown unconditional support to her father, Joan Charles I. Her efforts have been evident, especially in difficult moments when she has perceived that her brother, Felipe VI, could have being too hard on their parent.
Frequent visits to Abu Dhabi
Since August 2020, Elena and her sister Cristina have traveled to Abu Dhabi on numerous occasions, with a total of more than sixty visits. These journeys have represented a considerable investment, with a cost that exceeds 55,000 euros in flights.
A family emergency
The girls recently received worrying news about John Charles I’s health, prompting them to cancel their holiday to travel to Abu Dhabi immediately. Their concern was palpable as they wanted to be by their father’s side in this delicate moment.
The complications of age
At over 85 years old, John Charles I is facing health complications that have been evident in recent years. His mobility difficulties, which were exposed to the public in images in a wheelchair, have generated great concern among his children. His aversion to being seen in this situation has influenced his decision to seek innovative treatments.
Innovative treatments
To combat the effects of age, John Charles I has undergone several regenerative medicine treatments, including stem cells and platelets, carried out by his trusted doctor in Vitoria. These therapies are carried out before her public appearances to prevent her condition from becoming a topic of debate.
The concern of children
The health of their father has generated great anxiety between Elena and Cristina, who fear that the emeritus may die isolated and without remembering his family. This concern has become a topic of discussion with Felipe VI, who maintains his position of not bringing John Charles I in line with the current dynamics of the crown.
An uncertain future
As the situation of Joan Charles I gets more complicated, the girls are forced to act. Their concern for their father’s well-being may lead them to make decisions that could change the family dynamic and their place within the monarchy.
