Victoria Federica de Marichalar y Borbón has become one of the most mediatic figures of the Spanish royal family.
Unlike other members of the Royal House, who have opted for a life of discretion, the daughter of Infanta Elena and Jaime de Marichalar has embraced public exposure, generating headlines and controversy for her lifestyle.
Her constant presence at events, her participation in television programs and her activity on social networks have made her a recurring character in the heart press.
Victoria Federica’s Rebellious Side
For some years now, Victoria Federica has cultivated an image of influencer and socialite, positioning herself in the world of fashion and entertainment.
Her participation in programs such as El Desafío, has increased her notoriety. In addition, she frequently attends fashion shows, parties and exclusive venues.
According to the Catalan web El Nacional, one of Vic’s most controversial points has been her relationship with Queen Letizia.
The news portal assures that while her controversial brother, Felipe Juan Froilán, has maintained a less confrontational attitude, Victoria Federica has shown a defiant stance with her aunt.
Apparently, she has openly questioned some decisions within the royal family, especially regarding the management of certain media crises.
Her rebellious attitude has also caused tensions with her mother, Infanta Elena, with whom she shares a residence.
It has been reported that their arguments have been so intense that neighbors have come to witness them in the middle of the night.
Faced with these conflicts, the young woman has found refuge in the Zarzuela Palace, where she has the unconditional support of her grandmother, Queen Sofia.
According to close sources, on several occasions she has preferred to spend the nights at the royal residence to avoid confrontations with her mother, and has always been welcomed with open arms.
Her nightlife has also been the object of scrutiny. A regular at the most exclusive nightclubs in Madrid, she has been involved in episodes in which the royal bodyguards have had to intervene to get her out of complicated situations.
These agents, by order of the Infanta Elena, have also been in charge of taking her to Zarzuela when her condition has not allowed her to return home alone.
The case of Victoria Federica gives much to talk about in the Spanish press. While some see in her a young woman who simply enjoys her independence, others criticize her lack of commitment to the responsibilities that come with her family name.
