Europa Press, en.edatv.news Urgent statement at the Royal House: Juan Carlos I suffers the death of a relative
It has just been announced that a cousin of the emeritus, with whom he had a close relationship, has passed away at the age of 80
The Royal House faces a hard blow again. This time, not due to a new scandal, but because of a family loss that directly affects Juan Carlos I. The death of one of his closest relatives has cast a shadow of mourning over his most intimate circle.
Early this morning, Alfonso de Borbón y Escasany passed away at the age of 80. A second cousin of the emeritus, he was a well-known figure in Spanish high society and kept a close relationship with the former monarch. Brother of the Duke of Seville and father-in-law of model Eugenia Silva, he was part of one of the most recognized branches of the Bourbon lineage.
An unexpected farewell in Juan Carlos I's close circle
Juan Carlos I has been facing scandals for months, which have kept him in the spotlight. Today he has returned to it for a very different reason. No less than because a family member has passed away.
This is Alfonso de Borbón de Escasany, who lost his life early this morning. According to Vanitatis, his remains have been transferred to the Tres Cantos funeral home, and this afternoon the funeral will be held in the chapel of La Paz cemetery. A discreet farewell, but full of symbolism, as he was a figure very close to the royal family.
A deterioration in his health is what caused the death of this second cousin of Juan Carlos I, with whom he kept a good relationship. So much so that he attended the weddings of the three children of the emeritus.
Alfonso was married to aristocrat Marisa Yordi, with whom he had two children: Alfonso and Alejandro. One of the family's most well-known connections was the one caused by his son Alfonso's relationship with Eugenia Silva. She is one of the most international models from our country.
Juan Carlos I suffers a new personal setback
The Royal House has not yet issued an official statement about the loss. However, it is not ruled out that they may speak on the matter in the coming hours.
The death of Alfonso de Borbón y Escasany has impacted aristocratic circles. It is likely that several noble personalities will attend to bid him a final farewell, among them possibly the kings, Queen Sofía, or Infanta Elena.
This sad event comes at a delicate time for Juan Carlos I, who has been in the media spotlight since his departure from Spain. Information about his finances, his lovers, and his lawsuits have eroded his public image, but they have also affected his personal life. In the midst of this context, losing such a close family member is a new blow that is difficult to bear.
