Surprise in the Royal Family After the Open Secret About Infanta Elena Is Confirmed

The Royal Family has been surprised that Infanta Elena has indirectly confirmed the open secret circulating about her. We are referring to her bad relationship with her ex-husband, Jaime de Marichalar.

If it has been confirmed, it is because both have attended the same funeral, and their behaviors have shown that they don't want to see each other. Hence, they have done everything possible not to meet, neither at the entrance nor at the exit.

Confirmed What Was Suspected About Infanta Elena

Since 2007, when Infanta Elena and Jaime de Marichalar announced a temporary cessation of cohabitation until they divorced in 2009, an open secret has circulated about them. Specifically, that they didn't end well and that they don't want to see or talk to each other.

Now, to the surprise of the Royal Family, this has been confirmed. Yes, because of what happened at the funeral of businesswoman Paloma Eulate, held at the Church of San Agustín, in El Viso. Both attended this event, but they did everything possible not to meet.

According to several media outlets, both organized their arrival and departure from the religious event so that they wouldn't coincide for even a second. Neither she, who is behind the lawsuits filed by her father, nor he wanted to be face to face under any circumstances.

This gesture has possibly surprised even the Royal Family itself, which believes that after so many years of separation, a more relaxed relationship could have been reached for the good of all. However, everything seems to indicate that not only is there no rapprochement, but the tension between them has increased over the years.

The Tension Between Infanta Elena and Her Ex-Husband

This bad relationship has been constant since their breakup, and they have never managed to smooth things over. Moreover, these have increased, according to various media, because they also don't agree on matters concerning their children, Froilán and Victoria Federica.

The young people, although distanced from the institutional obligations of the Crown, have gained notable media notoriety in recent years. Appearances in magazines, attendance at public events, parties, and television programs have made them regular figures in the tabloids.

Here is where the distance between their parents becomes evident again. According to close sources, Infanta Elena keeps a much stricter and more conservative stance regarding their behavior and public image. She believes they should keep a low profile and that their role should not be linked to spectacle or sensationalism.

Jaime de Marichalar, who also doesn't speak with Iñaki Urdangarin, has shown himself to be much more permissive. He naturally supports, for example, the media growth of Victoria Federica, who even recently participated in the program El Desafío. For him, his children have the right to decide their lives, and he sees no problem with them engaging with the world of entertainment.

These differences in educational vision have fueled the tensions between Infanta Elena and her ex-husband, preventing any attempt at rapprochement. Moreover, the passage of time hasn't healed wounds, and communication between them, according to several sources, is minimal and purely functional.

This distancing affects their private lives. It also impacts public commitments where they might coincide, as demonstrated at the aforementioned funeral. What could have been an occasion to show an image of respect has become a new episode that evidences a total rupture.
