This weekend the Spanish Royal House has been very distributed. Each of its members has faced different personal or institutional issues that have kept them separated from each other. However, last Sunday Queen Sofia (85 years old) have been able to enjoy a meal along with his daughter, Infanta Cristina (58 years old), and the company of his granddaughter, Irene Urdangarin (18 years old).
It is very likely that Queen Letizia (51 years old) would not join this family plan, at least without the presence of her husband King Felipe VI (56 years old). In fact, the Spanish monarch was far from our borders, since he had traveled to El Salvador to attend the inauguration of President Nayib Bukele. However, family relations have taken a turn for the past few months and a rapprochement between them could be seen.
Queen Sofía’s family plan with Infanta Cristina and Irene Urdangarin
Infanta Cristina has had a very busy weekend. Although she has also had time to enjoy the company of some of her family members. Last Friday Pablo Urdangarin was playing a handball match in Jaén. So much his mother and his girlfriend, Joanna Zott, wanted to attend to this important event in Andalusia to be able to support Iñaki Urdangarin’s son.
In fact, they stayed to enjoy the next day, where, as confirmed by ‘El Mundo’, they visited the Arab baths located in the Villardompardo palace and the cathedral to end up eating at a restaurant in the area. Upon her return to Madrid, Infanta Elena’s sister (60 years old) was able to attend with his daughter Irene to eat with the queen emerituswhere some sources confirm to the aforementioned media that they could also be accompanied by Pablo after playing his match.
In fact, Irene is very close to her grandmother. She is currently taking a sabbatical after volunteering in Cambodia, from which she has already returned. The aforementioned members of the royal family went to an asian cuisine restaurant, the Shushita Cabana. The location is located in Aravaca, one of the most recent that the chain has opened and which has a quite affordable price of around 35 euros per person.
The family plan that Queen Letizia would not join
It is not usual to be able to see Princess Leonor’s mother (18 years old) at different events outside the official agenda with her in-laws. The last times that they have been seen together have coincided with different birthdays, which has served to bring positions closer together after distancing that had arisen after the decision-making of the father of Infanta Sofía (17 years old) with the involvement in tax issues of King Emeritus Juan Carlos I (86 years old).
However, we have also been able to see practically the entire Spanish royal family at various events, such as the funeral of Constantine of Greece that he had in London. Furthermore, there was different gestures between different members which represented an advance in this relationship that previously seemed to be much more distant, also included in the strategy that the Spanish monarchs were carrying out of flaunting family unity to face various controversies that affected the Spanish Royal House.
The change in the relationship of the Kings with the royal family
For this change in Felipe’s relationship with his sisters, we must go back to the birthday of the heir to the Spanish Crown. That date marked a before and after without a doubt, since it They left all the quarrels behind and all these small family annoyances over the decision to have allowed the emeritus to move his residence to Abu Dhabi and, in this way, be away from his children and grandchildren.
When the Princess of Asturias came of age, a great birthday party was held, in which they were a large part of the royal family present. But, without a doubt, in the month of December another event occurred that managed to hit the table. Infanta Elena turned 60 years old, a round number that deserved to be celebrated in style and bringing together all the family she could be there on that day.
The Kings of Spain went there, where they arrived with the best of their smiles to enjoy a meal in the Spanish capital. In addition, they also met with a large part of the grandchildren of the emeritusalthough the big absentees were Leonor and Sofía for more than obvious reasons, since the heiress was in her military training in Zaragoza and the little one was in Wales studying her high school studies.
