No one expected the sad news about Pablo Urdangarin and his famous girlfriend, Johanna Zott

Summer hasn't started the way Pablo Urdangarin and his girlfriend, Johanna Zott, desired. Even though they had everything planned to enjoy a vacation together in Mallorca, unexpected news from the Royal Household has changed their plans. What seemed like a romantic and peaceful getaway has turned into an unexpected problem for the young couple.

According to reports in the press, those close to Queen Sofía have delivered a very clear warning: they won't be able to stay together at Marivent Palace. A new rule prevents unmarried partners of family members from staying at this official residence.

Pablo Urdangarin and Johanna Zott, surprised by an unexpected decision

Pablo Urdangarin, who is experiencing one of the happiest moments both in sports and in his personal life, didn't imagine that his summer would be altered by such a strict directive. He and Johanna Zott already had everything ready: plane tickets, a rental car, and great excitement about spending a few days together with family. But the Royal Household has said no.

Queen Sofía, following the guidelines of the monarchs, has informed them that Johanna won't be able to stay at the palace, since she doesn't have a legal bond with the clan. This rule, apparently, doesn't affect only her, but all boyfriends and girlfriends of the family's children and grandchildren.

This turn of events has come as a cold shower for Pablo and his girlfriend, who were excited about the idea of sharing some peaceful days in Palma. The relationship between them, solid and stable for years, is publicly known. However, that hasn't been enough to prevent the application of this decision, which has unsettled everyone.

Although Pablo Urdangarin could stay at Marivent, it wouldn't make sense to do so without his partner's company. Therefore, this has likely forced them to cancel the trip entirely or look for somewhere to stay together.

The Royal Household sets limits on family vacations

The new rule that prevents unmarried couples from staying at Marivent responds, according to sources close to the family, to a policy of greater control over the public image of the Royal Family. Felipe VI and Letizia are reportedly determined to reduce the clan's exposure to situations that could generate controversy or a lack of privacy.

In fact, this isn't the only restriction imposed for this summer. Additionally, the queen has informed Infanta Cristina of the exact dates when she, her husband, and her daughters will be in Mallorca. This way, she intends to avoid any overlap with her, as happened last year, considering that the relationship between both parties is tense.

In that context, Johanna, even though she is the girlfriend of a grandson of the emeritus, doesn't have a place in the Marivent quarters for now. This stance, while logical from an institutional point of view, has been painful for a couple who only wanted to spend time together in a family environment.

The decision has also reopened the debate about the level of treatment received by King Juan Carlos's grandchildren within the Royal Household. Even though Pablo and his siblings have always been discreet and respectful, it seems that the institution's new approach doesn't allow for exceptions, not even for them. Needless to say, this rule also applies to Infanta Elena and her children.

Despite this setback, young Urdangarin and Zott remain one of the most beloved and respected couples in the Borbón family. Their relationship has been marked by discretion, mutual respect, and a closeness that has charmed public opinion. In an environment where family scandals have been recurrent, they have managed to keep their distance.

The son of Infanta Cristina and Iñaki has managed to win everyone's affection through his humility, dedication to sports, and good manners. Meanwhile, Johanna, highly regarded in her circle, has always been seen as a steady and constant support in his life.
