Introduction
The Royal Family is one of the pillars of the Spanish monarchy. Although it is often presented as a cohesive unit, the truth is that it hides many families within. This article explores the family dynamics within the Royal Family, revealing tensions, distances and breakdowns.
The emeritus: a geographical and emotional distance
The emeritus, King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia, have not spoken or seen each other for years. Geographical distance is one of the factors that has contributed to this separation. While Sofia resides in Europe, Joan Carles has established his residence in Asia. This distance has created a physical and emotional barrier between them.
Felipe and Letícia: a marital crisis
The current kings, Felipe and Letícia, are immersed in a deep marital crisis. The Queen’s well-known infidelities have tested their relationship. Despite efforts to maintain a public image of unity, internal tensions are evident.
The Marichalars: a tense relationship
The Marichalars, the Catalan branch of the Royal Family, do not maintain a harmonious relationship either. The two frivolous sons of the family, Juan and Pablo, do not speak to each other and have reached the point of ridicule with their public disputes. This tension has created a division within the family.
The Urdangarin: a scattered family
The Urdangarins, the Catalan family from Pedralbes, also live in complicated situations. Juan works in London, Pablo in Granollers and Miguel in Geneva with his mother. Little Irene Urdangarin has decided to go live in Cambodia, on the other side of the world, to get away from family tensions.
Irene Urdangarin: a new life in Cambodia
Irene Urdangarin has decided to start a new life in Cambodia. After suspending the Hospitality studies she planned to study in Lausanne, Irene has decided to live in the Cambodian jungle and dedicate herself to helping people with disabilities. This decision has been influenced by the experience of his older brother, Juan Urdangarin, who also lived in Cambodia and worked on charity projects.
The influence of Lady Di
Irene Urdangarin has shown a certain fascination with Lady Di. Through her solidarity actions, Irene tries to follow in the footsteps of the Princess of Wales and help the victims of anti-personnel mines. This cause, which was championed by Lady Di, has captivated Irene and pushed her to dedicate herself to this humanitarian work.
conclusion
The Royal Family is a complex institution, with diverse family dynamics. The tensions, distances and de-structuring are present within the Spanish monarchy. However, each family member follows his own path and searches for his own identity. The Royal Family is a portrait of families in today’s society, with their complexities and contradictions.
