The relationship between King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia has been at the center of media attention following the controversy over their vacation, which was criticized for its high cost.
This focus of interest intensified even more when the monarchs were seen together at a recent romantic dinner in Madrid.
Queen Letizia opted for a casual and summery outfit in light tones, while King Felipe also strayed from his formal attire.
However, Pilar Eyre, a renowned royal analyst, has raised doubts about the true state of the king and queen’s relationship.
What is happening between King Felipe and Queen Letizia?
According to Eyre, the image of Felipe and Letizia dining together is not enough to validate that their bond is as solid as they claim.
She questions the lack of photographs showing that they spent the vacation together, suggesting that their meeting could be interpreted as an attempt to project an image of joint happiness rather than an authentic reflection of their personal life.
Eyre argues that, despite being married for over 20 years, the dynamics of a couple after spending intense time together, such as a vacation, can create the need for personal space.
“If I think negatively, I see it as a kind of small farce to say ‘look how well we get along, we are a happy couple,’ or on the other hand, I see it as a typical meeting with a friend, with someone to communicate how the days have been, how they have been, and to catch up with each other,” she stated.
The expert also highlights the importance of the public image they must maintain as a royal family. This involves private agreements that allow them to manage their personal and professional lives without evident conflicts.
Additionally, Eyre criticizes the opacity and lack of information about the details of the king and queen’s vacation.
She asserts that if they had truly been together for an extended period, it would have been difficult to preserve their privacy so efficiently, especially in a world where anyone can take photos of their whereabouts.
“No matter how much they say they were seen eating here or there, my thesis is that they did not spend the vacation together, nor with their daughters,” the royal expert stated.
The relationship between King Felipe and Queen Letizia remains a mystery surrounded by speculation and critical analysis.
Their public interaction does not necessarily reflect the reality of their marriage.
By exposing her views, Pilar Eyre invites people to question to what extent the image projected by the king and queen corresponds to their private life and true feelings.
