Is there really something to it? The former brother-in-law of Queen Letizia (51) currently claims to have had an affair with the Spanish monarch for a long time. Jamie Del Burgo, her sister’s ex-husband, says she had a relationship with King Felipe’s wife (55) until 2011, which she eventually ended. Now further wild claims are being added: Letizia’s father-in-law Juan Carlos (85) is said to have supported the affair rumors out of revenge.
This is what the journalist Federico Jiménez Losantos now claims. According to the Daily Mail, he accuses the discredited former monarch of deliberately using the rumors to wage a kind of campaign against his son. “This is the umpteenth campaign against Felipe VI. It is Juan Carlos’ circles that are fueling the whole thing,” said the radio presenter. As a reason, he cites Juan Carlos’ displeasure over his exclusion from the royal family after various scandals. However, this accusation has not yet been confirmed, which is why it is just a wild theory on Federico’s part.
Letizia has so far remained silent about the rumors. She was last seen last Wednesday with her husband. The two attended a meeting in the Spanish capital Madrid. And the couple gave the photographers a beaming smile, as if they wanted to laugh off the unpleasant headlines.
