Royal House hides what's going on with Juan Urdangarin, son of Infanta Cristina: 'it's very...'

It's no secret that Juan Urdangarin's life is a mystery, unlike the rest of his siblings, about whom much more is known. In contrast, it seems that Casa Real hides what surrounds his private life. The son of Infanta Cristina is practically unknown to many, something that the expert in royal matters, Pilar Eyre, has explained: "He is very mysterious."

Despite being the firstborn of an infanta and the grandson of the emeritus king Juan Carlos, little or nothing is known about his present, nor about his future plans. What does Casa Real hide about Juan Urdangarin? Why has he been almost completely erased from the public narrative surrounding the Bourbons?

Casa Real hides the details of Juan Urdangarin's life

Despite being part of a well-known family, Juan Urdangarin represents a true enigma within the Spanish monarchy landscape. The firstborn of Infanta Cristina and Iñaki Urdangarin has chosen to stay away from the spotlight, building a wall of privacy that few have managed to penetrate.

The discretion of the emeritus's grandson contrasts notably with the attitude of some of his cousins, who have taken more exposed paths. His secrecy not only draws the attention of the press but also raises numerous questions about his personal and professional activities.

In this context, Pilar Eyre, an expert in Casa Real, has broken her silence about Juan Urdangarin. "He is the oldest of his siblings and went through a bit of the same as Froilán. He bore the heaviest burden of his father's misdeeds," Eyre stated emphatically.

The journalist points out that the scandals related to the Nóos Case and the subsequent separation of his parents have deeply marked Juan's personality. "Juan's childhood was also quite unfortunate with changes of residence, he suffered bullying at school, I have seen how they were shouted at as thieves on the street in Barcelona...", Eyre recounts.

Infanta Cristina's children have lived an emotional roller coaster since the corruption scandal involving their father broke out. Juan, as the eldest son, had to take on additional responsibilities while watching his family crumble before public opinion.

"The sad faces of those children I have never forgotten. I think he needed psychological treatment," Pilar Eyre added, highlighting the emotional impact these events had on the children of the marriage.

The enigma of his current life: work, studies, and uncertain whereabouts

If Juan Urdangarin's past is marked by painful episodes already documented, his present remains a complete mystery. "Today it is not very well known what he does, whether he lives in Madrid or London. They also say he works for Aznar's son-in-law in London, but it is very mysterious and it is not very well known what he has studied," Pilar Eyre explains.

This information fog contrasts radically with the lives of his siblings Pablo and Irene, whose academic and professional occupations are known. Pablo, for example, has developed a sports career as a professional handball player, while about Juan there are hardly any verified data about his education or work activity.

This lack of concrete information has caused all kinds of speculations about his activities and residence. While some media place his home in London, others claim that he has returned permanently to Spain after his parents' separation, contributing to the widespread confusion about his usual whereabouts.

Despite his discretion, there are occasions when Juan has shown his face. He has accompanied his mother and Queen Sofia at commemorative masses, such as that of King Constantine of Greece. He has also been seen cheering on his brother Pablo at his matches and attending weddings like that of Theodora of Greece or José Luis Martínez Almeida.

His role seems to be that of a silent witness, a figure who supports from the shadows without seeking prominence. A gesture that, far from diminishing his value, reveals a firm and sincere commitment to his own.

In short, the figure of Juan Urdangarin represents one of the greatest enigmas within Casa Real. While most members of the Bourbon family keep a certain public exposure, the eldest son of Infanta Cristina has built an apparently impenetrable wall of privacy. Will he manage to keep this secrecy in the future, or will circumstances eventually force him to step forward?
