A Different Valentine’s Day
This Wednesday was February 14, Valentine’s Day, a date that many consider Valentine’s Day. However, for Kings Felipe and Letizia, this day was not exactly romantic. Since Navarrese businessman Jaime del Burgo’s statements about his relationship with Letizia came to light, the Spanish monarchs are going through a difficult time as a couple. Although they try to appear normal, the writer and journalist Pilar Eyre has pointed out on several occasions that her marriage is in a delicate situation.
A Valentine’s Day without Romanticism
Instead of enjoying a private romantic date, Felipe and Letizia spent the day surrounded by people at an official event. They attended the inauguration of the second Puig Tower in l’Hospitalet, along with various authorities such as the president of the Generalitat, Pere Aragonès, the Minister of Industry, Jordi Hereu, and the mayor of the city, Núria Marín. It seems that the kings are not in the best moment to celebrate love due to Del Burgo’s revelations.
The Unexpected Presence of an Old Love
During the event, there was an unexpected surprise for King Philip. He met up with an old girlfriend from her youth, Didi Martínez Bordiú, who according to experts, left him impressed when he met her. Didi is a businesswoman and owner of the representation company of makeup artist Natalia Belda, who is part of Queen Letizia’s image care team. This fact has attracted attention and generated speculation about whether the king and his youthful friend have maintained contact over the years.
Didi Martínez Bordiú: A Curious Link
Didi Martínez Bordiú is a businesswoman who rose to fame in 2003 when it was rumored that she was Prince Philip’s new dream, after his breakup with Norwegian model Eva Sannum. Didi is the first cousin of Carmen Martínez-Bordiú and at that time, she was 21 years old and was considered a possible formal partner for Felipe. Although their relationship was never officially confirmed, it was speculated that they had a romance that lasted more than 15 months. Now, 20 years later, Didi is once again close to the royal family as a representative of Queen Letizia’s makeup artist, which has generated some curiosity and has led to thoughts about possible connections between the king and his youthful friend.
In short, Valentine’s Day was different for Kings Felipe and Letizia. In the midst of the difficulties they are going through as a couple, they had to attend an official event instead of enjoying a romantic date. In addition, the king met an old girlfriend from his youth, Didi Martínez Bordiú, which has aroused the curiosity of many. Although the details of their relationship cannot be confirmed, this unexpected meeting has generated speculation about possible connections between the king and his youthful friend.
