Miguel Urdangarin, the third son of Infanta Cristina and Iñaki Urdangarin, suffered a serious accident during a ski instructor course he was taking in Switzerland.
This incident has caught the attention of the media and has generated concern among the followers of the Spanish Royal Family.
Miguel Urdangarin’s accident in Switzerland
Miguel Urdangarin, 21, was in Switzerland taking a ski instructor course when the unfortunate accident occurred.
According to reports, he suffered a serious injury to one of his knees during one of the practices.
The young man was seen walking in Geneva with a bulky knee brace, indicating the seriousness of his injury.
Faced with this situation, Infanta Cristina, who was on a cooperation trip in Latin America, had to return to Geneva to be by her son’s side and offer her support.
The magazine ¡Hola! has confirmed that the young man will have to undergo surgery.
Miguel Urdangarin has always stood out for his passion for sports and nature.
After attending high school at the prestigious international school Ecolint in the Swiss city, he moved to the British capital to pursue his dream.
He recently completed his studies in Marine Biology at the University of Southampton, UK, and has returned to his mother’s home in Geneva.
This stage of her life coincides with a significant moment for Infanta Cristina, who has just signed her divorce from Iñaki Urdangarin after a long and complicated separation.
Despite the family’s ups and downs, Miguel Urdangarin has kept a discreet profile and has tried to maintain a close relationship with his siblings, Juan, Pablo and Irene.
He shares his father’s passion for sports, practicing activities such as surfing and tennis on a regular basis.
Although he is always seen with a serious countenance, he is said to be fun and joking and his character is quite similar to that of his cousin, the Infanta Sofia.
In addition, he has musical skills and often attends his brother Pablo’s handball games.
One of the last times that Miguel has been left in public was on the occasion of his sister Irene’s 18th birthday in June 2023.
It was strange not to see him at the 60th birthday party of his aunt, Infanta Elena, which was attended by almost all his family.
It was known that his absence was because he was taking classes to become a snowsports teacher.
While waiting for more information on the situation of Miguel Urdangarin and his possible recovery, the Spanish Royal Family remains united and supportive in these difficult times for the young man.
