It has been the image of the week, certainly the most unexpected. Felipe VI and his sister Cristina sharing time, space and, most powerfully, plane. Until now, the brothers had seen each other but had avoided that image together and without a doubt for many this step is the first stone of the rehabilitation of the infanta and her relationship with her brother after divorcing Iñaki Urdangarin. The image of the King and Infanta Cristina was made in a very natural way And they both met at a La Caixa event in Madrid, where Cristina works. The monarch came to preside over an event as part of his work agenda. The photo together was not avoided and the Spanish Royal House itself shared the images. Without a doubt, something is changing.
Felipe VI and Cristina de Borbón They have been apart for years. Everything exploded due to the Nóos Case, for which Iñaki Urdangarin, the infanta’s ex-husband, was sentenced to prison and the infanta herself was sentenced to sit on the bench. This situation caused a schism in the family and especially between the brothers, since The infanta made it clear that she would be next to the father of her four children. And he did so until he began a love relationship with another woman, Ainhoa Armentia, once she was released from prison. To this we must add that Infanta Cristina does not have the best relationship with her sister-in-law Letizia and that she would not have agreed with the situation of her father, King Emeritus Juan Carlos, and his exile. in Abu Dhabi. All of this caused discomfort among the brothers. and a strong distancing, which has begun to change.
We have analyzed this situation of the children of the emeritus kings with the psychologist Lara Ferreiro and she has done an expert analysis on how they would both find themselves after this step, as well as the reason for their approach.
“Is a historical photo The fact that the brothers have posed on the same plane, this is thinking, super meditated and is the image of reconciliation, clearly shows a rapprochement between the brothers. In the end, the three [Felipe, Elena y Cristina] They are moving towards old age, although they are around 60 years old, and they are aware of everything that is coming to them, complicated situations will come and The King needs his older sisters“Lara Ferreiro explained to Lecturas.com. For the psychologist there is a clear gesture from King Felipe and that is that although he puts the Crown first, deep down this rapprochement with your brothers comes from you, it is human.
“In addition, these three brothers have always gotten along well, they were allied brothers who loved each other. With everything that has happened, they have become indifferent brothers and little by little that closeness returns, although it cannot be like before. Letizia’s relationship with the sisters has not helped and it seems that Felipe VI has had to prioritize the Crown above your affections, but just because they don’t talk to you doesn’t mean they don’t love you. In fact, 50% of Spaniards get along badly with their siblings,” Lara Ferreiro tells us.
Cristina’s divorce has allowed this rapprochement and this family reconciliation, “strengthens this rapprochement process, although it will be a long road because there are many wounds.” “Felipe VI and his sisters are already close to 60 and at 60 you begin to think and want to reach an old age with your emotional duties done and close all your wounds to rest because this torments you. From this moment in life, even if there have been problems, relationships can be cold but stable,” adds the psychologist.
We do not know how this image of the King with his sister will evolve after years apart, if there will be more or if it has been a professional issue, but it is a reality that until now had been avoided at all costs and there is a positive trend. In the end, according to the psychologist, the brothers will need to unite again even if they have their sights set on their obligations. An approach that will please the queen emeritus Doña Sofía, who has always fought to maintain that union in her family despite her adversities. And there have been not a few…
