An Expected Event That Sparks Rumors
This weekend, Madrid becomes the scene of a celebration that has captured the public’s attention: the wedding of Victoria López-Quesada and Enrique Moreno de la Cova. The royal family, with its historical connections, is not left out, which has generated great expectations about who will be present at the ceremony.
Confirmations and Expectations
It has been confirmed that the princesses Elena and Cristina will attend, along with Victoria Federica and some of Urdangarin’s children. Felipe VI, who will be the bride’s godfather and has no official commitments this weekend, is also expected to be present. However, the attendance of the emeritus kings, Juan Carlos and Sofia, remains uncertain.
Queen Letizia and her controversial absence
Queen Letizia, despite having been invited, has decided not to attend the wedding. It has been alleged that she will be in Paris supporting the Paralympic athletes, an excuse that many consider repetitive, given her history of absences from important family events.
A Tense Relationship with the Bourbon Family
Since joining the royal family in 2003, Letizia’s relationship with the Bourbons has been marked by coldness. Her apparent desire to distance herself from this part of the family has generated tensions, especially since Felipe VI assumed the throne.
Excuses that trigger criticism
Letizia’s absences have sparked criticism, with many interpreting her choice not to attend family events as a rejection of her husband’s family. The recent death of Juan Gómez-Acebo is an example of this dynamic, where the queen chose not to attend the funeral.
A Superficial Approach
Despite some signs of rapprochement between Letizia and Infantas Elena and Cristina, relations remain frosty. The Queen was only forced to participate in one family event for image reasons, reinforcing the idea that family ties are more formal than authentic.
Final Thoughts on Family Dynamics
The current situation of the Spanish royal family raises questions about family cohesion and a true sense of belonging. Absences and tensions reflect a pattern that could have repercussions on public perception of the monarchy, especially at a time when the image of the royal family is more important than ever.
