A return to Barcelona full of nostalgia
This Thursday, August 29, Felipe VI will make an appearance in Barcelona to kick off the famous ‘America’s Cup’. This event evokes fond memories of his youth, a time when he would visit his sister Cristina and share moments alone with Letizia, before she became the Princess of Asturias.
The public perception of their union
From the very beginning, Felipe and Letizia’s marriage has been under media scrutiny. There is speculation that their relationship may have morphed into a mere professional partnership. Journalist Pilar Eyre describes them as a ‘work team’, while Maica Vasco suggests that their bond may be more of an arrangement of convenience than a true romantic relationship.
A pact of convenience
The claims suggest that Felipe and Letizia may have made an agreement to pretend to be in a happy relationship while leading separate lives. The deepest crisis in their marriage occurred in 2013, and speculation points to an infidelity being the trigger, beyond the scandals surrounding Juan Carlos I at the time.
The secrets of Letizia and Felipe
Recent revelations suggest that Letizia had a relationship with Jaime del Burgo for several years. According to the lawyer, the figure of the lover in this narrative would be Felipe VI, who, for his part, would also have had his own affairs during this time, suggesting a dynamic of consensual relationships between them.
Parallel social life
It has emerged that while Letizia was enjoying her time in Barcelona with Jaime, Felipe was also in the city, but with a group of friends on board a yacht. This separate lifestyle has led to speculation about the true nature of their relationship, with both attending separate social events.
The echo of old relationships
Comparisons with photographs of Felipe in similar situations, such as those showing him alongside Isabel Sartorius on a boat, have reignited controversy over the stability of his marriage to Letizia. This parade of images and situations has led many to question the solidity of their union, suggesting a significant rift between the two.
Reflections on the future
With the opening of the ‘America’s Cup’ as a backdrop, the future of Felipe VI and Letizia remains up in the air, while the echoes of their past decisions continue to resonate. The history of their relationship, marked by secrets and appearances, continues to capture the public’s attention, leaving the question of whether they will ever find a path to a genuine connection.
