A Past That Casts Shadows Again
At the end of 2022, the relationship between Felipe VI and Queen Letizia has been exposed to a new crisis, one that has become the most severe in recent years. The reappearance of an old acquaintance has caused unexpected turbulence, revealing a hidden history that now threatens to bring down the facades of the monarchy.
Secrets and Revelations
According to the statements of Jaime del Burgo, Letícia would have had an extramarital relationship with this acquaintance for a considerable period. Del Burgo, who presents himself as a well-informed source, says that Felipe VI was always aware of this dynamic, suggesting that the relationship between them was not based on love, but on a mutual agreement to create a family image monarchical
Marriages as a Political Strategy
The journalist Pilar Eyre has described the marriage of the kings as a ‘work team’, while her colleague Maica Vasco has categorized it as a ‘marriage of convenience’. These characterizations show that the union between Felipe and Letícia can be more of a political strategy than a true emotional bond.
In front of the public
With the discovery of their true intentions, it seems the couple has decided to stop keeping up appearances. Rumors of a split have intensified, with the public increasingly aware of the similarities between her situation and that of John Charles I and Queen Sofia.
Summer of Separation
In recent months, the couple has been virtually invisible to each other, with limited exceptions during official events. Letícia has been seen with her friends, while Felipe has spent time with his own circles. His absence from family life, especially without the presence of his daughters, has allowed speculation about their relationship to intensify.
Holidays in Opposite Courses
Recently, they were seen in Palma de Mallorca, but with a well-defined strategy to avoid their mutual company. Now, as Letizia heads to the Greek islands with her daughter, Felipe VI has taken the opportunity to visit Juan Carlos in Abu Dhabi before taking part in a state trip to the Dominican Republic.
Final Reflections
As the days pass, it becomes clear that the facade of the Spanish royal marriage is disintegrating. The monarchy, which has tried to hold together in the face of adversity, is now at a crossroads where personal decisions and public expectations are in conflict. The future of the kings, as well as that of the institution they represent, is uncertain.
