Europa Press, en.edatv.news Iñaki Urdangarin decides to finally tell the truth about Queen Letizia
Iñaki Urdangarin finally reveals unknown details about family relationships and his years in the royal court
For years, Iñaki Urdangarin was considered the perfect son-in-law and the friendly face of royalty. Now, his truth is finally known through his own words. After his time in prison and the turbulent period he experienced with Infanta Cristina, the time has come to learn the real facts.
What seemed like a perfect life as an athlete, exemplary husband, and devoted father falls apart with the revelations of a man who now feels free to speak. Queen Letizia Ortiz's figure has been placed at the center of his words.
Iñaki Urdangarin points to Letizia: the focus of family tensions
In the book "Urdangarin: un conseguidor en la corte del Rey Juan Carlos," journalists Eduardo Inda and Esteban Urreitztieta collect a series of surprising statements from Urdangarin. According to Iñaki, the former Duke of Palma, Queen Letizia was the cause of many of the family problems he had to face. "She's a journalist, she holds a grudge against us, and I'm sure she's behind everything that's happening to us," he reportedly said regarding his situation.
According to the journalists, Infanta Cristina and her sister, Infanta Elena, shared a similar view of Letizia, seeing her as "an intruder." These tensions within King Juan Carlos's closest circle marked Urdangarin's personal life and affected the perception of the queen in the royal family.
The web of influences of Iñaki Urdangarin and the Instituto Nóos
The book also delves into Urdangarin's role within a network of favors and shady business. Using his connection to the Royal Household, Urdangarin took advantage of his position to profit through the Instituto Nóos. An organization that promised altruistic projects but in reality diverted public funds.
Infanta Cristina was not only married to Urdangarin, but she also had ties to her husband's business dealings. This raises doubts about how she could not have noticed what was happening. This web of corruption and lack of transparency within the royal family has been one of the darkest points in recent history.
Although Urdangarin served part of his sentence, he caused great damage to the image of the royal family, even today. Although the headlines about this scandal have decreased, the revelations continue to leave a mark on the institution. The book makes it clear that the fractures within the royal family also originate from within, fueled by a lack of transparency and responsibility.
