Urgent: Irene Urdangarin's current life has left Infanta Cristina speechless

The sister of King Felipe VI is quite uneasy because of what she has just learned about her youngest daughter

Infanta Cristina is very worried. The reason is that she has learned about the life her daughter, Irene Urdangarin, is having in the United Kingdom and she doesn't like it at all.

So much so that, apparently, she has asked King Juan Carlos for help. All with the goal of redirecting the young woman.

Infanta Cristina, Between Disappointment and Concern Over Irene Urdangarin's Path

After years marked by judicial scandals, family tensions, and her recent divorce from Iñaki Urdangarin, Infanta Cristina had managed to regain some peace. However, that apparent calm has been shaken by a new source of distress: her youngest daughter, Irene Urdangarin.

The young woman, who is 19 years old, is currently in the United Kingdom. There, she is enrolled in a course on event organization offered at the prestigious University of Oxford.

This is a program designed to introduce students to the world of international event management. Far from taking advantage of the academic opportunity, she seems to be more focused on other matters.

According to Monarquía Confidencial, Infanta Cristina was left speechless and uneasy upon discovering how her daughter is really living in England. Sources indicate that she has adopted a lifestyle very different from what her mother expected. Parties, absences from class, and a notable drop in academic performance have already become a constant in her daily life.

The context couldn't be more complicated. Irene Urdangarin didn't manage to get into the University of Lausanne in Switzerland, where she initially wanted to study.

After a gap year, which many described as a period of reflection, the young woman moved to the United Kingdom to resume her academic path. It seems that path is once again becoming unclear.

Apparently, alarms at Zarzuela and within Infanta Cristina's circle haven't stopped ringing. There is concern not only about her absences from class, but also about rumors suggesting that the young woman is even considering dropping out of her studies. This possible withdrawal has set off all the alarms within her closest family circle.

Felipe VI's sister, who has made great efforts to ensure her children's education, feels overwhelmed. Since she signed her divorce from Iñaki Urdangarin in January 2024, she has tried to keep a stable family and emotional structure for her four children. Now, she sees how her youngest daughter could be losing her way.

Infanta Cristina Decides to Take Action Regarding What Is Happening With Irene Urdangarin

That's why, according to the aforementioned media, Infanta Cristina has turned to a key figure within the royal family: her father, King Emeritus Juan Carlos. The goal is none other than to count on his help and experience to redirect Irene Urdangarin's life.

Apparently, one of the plans on the table would be to send the young woman to the United States. This move would aim to distance her from current distractions and place her in a more disciplined environment.

In that country, she could resume her studies under a stricter routine, with more structured schedules and under firmer supervision. The plan would also seek to keep her away from the media spotlight and offer her a second academic opportunity.

It's no secret that Cristina has been very focused on her children's well-being since she separated. Although she has led a discreet life in Switzerland, her public appearances with Irene have always shown a close and protective relationship. That's why this new setback has affected her both personally and emotionally.

The situation is especially sensitive considering the institutional environment in which the young woman has grown up. As the granddaughter of the king emeritus and niece of the current head of state, her life has always been under public scrutiny. That's why any deviation from the norm can generate reactions not only within her family, but also in public opinion.

Will King Juan Carlos be able to help his granddaughter get back on the right track? Will she accept a possible move to the United States as a solution?

What is clear is that this story is not over. Infanta Cristina will keep fighting for her daughter's well-being, no matter what it takes.
