Queen Letizia makes the decision Felipe doesn't like: relationship broken and it's official

There are decisions that cause a great and unexpected stir, even if no one says it out loud. Inside Zarzuela, the tension has become so evident that there's no way to hide it anymore. This time, the situation goes beyond politics or the Crown; it's something purely personal.

Queen Letizia has taken a measure that directly affects the image of the Spanish Crown and the king's family. The information hasn't been delivered officially. However, it's confirmed that the queen has broken off all relations and, for now, there would be no turning back.

The return that changed everything

After an unsuccessful attempt to study Hotel Management at the University of Lausanne, Irene de Urdangarin ended up in Oxford. She focused on event planning, but her plans changed after a brief stay in Cambodia. Back in Spain, she sought refuge in the Zarzuela Palace.

There, she decided to settle with her grandmother, Queen Sofía, which Letizia interpreted as an invasion. Although the palace spaces are shared among the Borbón family, the Prince's Pavilion remains a reserved territory. That silent gesture was seen by the queen as a line crossed.

It should be mentioned that Irene de Urdangarin, youngest daughter of Infanta Cristina and Iñaki Urdangarin, is the granddaughter of King Juan Carlos I and Queen Sofía. She is also the daughter of Iñaki de Urdangarin, who has been involved in controversies with Queen Letizia over some statements.

Loves, nights, and suspicions

Irene's arrival in Madrid also coincided with her reunion with Juan Urquijo, an old acquaintance of the family circle. Their relationship grew through private dinners and discreet plans in the capital. With him, Felipe VI's niece found not only companionship but also reasons to stay close.

Doña Letizia, however, didn't see it favorably. Her perception was clear: Irene didn't seem to have any intention of resuming her studies or returning to Geneva. The volunteering was left behind, and her connection with Victoria Federica and Madrid's social life fueled even more doubts.

With summer underway, Irene was planning to spend a few days in Marivent with Juan and her grandmother. But Queen Letizia has made it very clear: she's not welcome while they're at Marivent Palace. According to sources close to the family, her stance was firm: "Please, don't let them come."

For Letizia, it's about protecting the image and controlling the environment of the royal family. For King Felipe VI, this tension reopens an internal wound with the family divided.
