180º turn in the royal house: Infanta Cristina and Infanta Elena have already decided

Turn in the Royal House as Infanta Cristina has made a decision that differs from the one made by Doña Elena

The climate in the Royal House is tense again after a new chapter involving the emeritus king Juan Carlos I. According to Pilar Eyre in her appearance on El programa de Ana Rosa, the decisions made by Infantas Elena and Cristina have marked a turning point in their environment. A true U-turn, as it was previously assumed that both daughters of the emeritus supported his actions without question.

Eyre, one of the journalists who knows the ins and outs of the monarchy best, has confirmed that in Zarzuela "they're not amused" by the latest legal move by Juan Carlos. It all stems from the emeritus's lawsuit against Miguel Ángel Revilla. The Royal House, led by King Felipe VI, keeps a clear stance: it completely distances itself from the private matters of the former head of state.

This was made clear after the statement issued by the law firm representing the emeritus, of which Felipe VI and Queen Letizia reportedly learned through the press.

"The Crown will not comment on this because it's a strictly personal matter of King Juan Carlos," official sources explained. However, the media and political impact of the decision has reignited old conflicts within the family. Eyre noted that Felipe and his father barely have contact, and the few times they've spoken have been through intermediaries.

In this scenario of institutional coldness, the positions of the Infantas have been crucial. "Infanta Cristina told him no," Pilar Eyre asserted.

Infanta Cristina's Opinion Is Distant from Infanta Elena's Opinion

Pilar Eyre added that Infanta Cristina tried to dissuade her father: "The publicity isn't good, it won't go well for you, we all need to be calm." Cristina, who resides in Geneva, keeps a close relationship with her father, which gives her the confidence to advise him openly, although without success.

In contrast, Infanta Elena has aligned with Juan Carlos. She is the only one of the three children who has recently traveled to Sanxenxo to accompany him, confirming that her closeness to the emeritus remains intact. "She supports him, although he doesn't listen to her or Cristina," the journalist stated.

This new division between the sisters reveals the delicate balance within the royal family. What seemed like a unanimous stance has fragmented, and in Zarzuela, the discontent is growing.
