In the world of royalty, distrust is a constant. Members of royal families are usually very careful when choosing a partner.
Such is the case of the relationship between Miguel Urdangarin and his girlfriend, Olympia. The young woman was recently photographed with the youngest son of Infanta Cristina and Iñaki Urdangarin, and as expected, she is no stranger to the family.
Who is Miguel Urdangarin’s girlfriend?
Miguel and Olympia have known each other for years, having forged a friendship during their time at school in Geneva.
This friendship lasted over time and was strengthened when Miguel moved to Madrid.
According to the Spanish portal Vanitatis, the third son of Infanta Cristina and Iñaki Urdangarin has been dating Olympia for some months now.
The young woman is of Venezuelan nationality, but her parents live in Switzerland, she is in Madrid to continue her studies.
Friends since childhood
These childhood friends met again in Madrid and, during a casual outing, the spark of love arose.
In the photos that have circulated, the couple can be seen embracing and showing great affection. Although they did not plan to be discovered, the relationship between Miguel and Olympia is not a secret for their families.
In addition, Miguel and Olympia share time and activities with another well-known couple: Irene Urdangarin and Juan Urquijo. This closeness made it almost inevitable that they would be photographed together at some point.
Following the family tradition
Miguel seems to follow the pattern of his siblings in Spain, starting a relationship with someone he trusts and has known for some time.
Pablo, the Urdangarin de Borbon’s second son, has been dating Johanna Zott, a friend from the Lycée Français in Barcelona, for more than a year.
Their relationship is still going strong since Pablo moved to Barcelona and they met again.
Something similar happens with Irene Urdangarin and Juan Urquijo, a young man very close to the family. Juan, brother of the wife of the mayor of Madrid, has even shared hunting days with the Urdangarin family.
Irene and Juan are distant cousins, which further strengthens the family ties.
Miguel’s case
Miguel and Olympia’s relationship, although not as close as that of their siblings, is also based on mutual trust and affection.
After an unfortunate accident while studying Marine Biology in the UK, Miguel moved to Switzerland, where his mother lives alone. During a ski instructor course, Miguel suffered a serious knee injury that required surgery.
For his recovery, Miguel moved to the Zarzuela Palace, thus facilitating his care and relieving his mother of that responsibility.
In Madrid, in addition to finding a job as an intern in a company specialized in his interests, he also found love with Olympia.
And Juan Urdangarin?
Of the children of Cristina de Borbón and Iñaki Urdangarin, only Juan remains to confirm his sentimental situation.
Juan lives and works in London, staying off the media radar, which makes it difficult to know if he has found love like his siblings.
Juan’s privacy contrasts with his brothers’ exposure, reflecting the different lives they lead.
