Few surprises at the summit of the Borbón and Urdangarin families this Friday in Geneva, although some striking aspects have been evident. to the graduation ceremony Irenethe youngest daughter of the infanta christina and her husband Iñaki UrdangarinHis grandparents Don Juan Carlos and Doña Sofía attended, as well as his other grandmother, Claire LiebaertIñaki’s mother, who, despite her delicate health, did not want to miss a day that her granddaughter will never forget.
All together and in apparent harmony, since they are educated people and always correct in front of the public. No unpleasant episode could occur between them, out of respect and affection for the protagonist of the day. Urdangarin and King Juan Carlos have not left the luxurious Four Seasons hotel together to avoid a photo that would not be sincere, in the sense of distorting reality, but it is certain that they have greeted each other correctly in their first face-to-face meeting in more of five years.
This 5-star Grand Luxury hotel establishment is where the emeritus kings, the Infanta Elena and her children Victoria and Felipe de Marichalar, Urdangarin, her mother and some other close family member, have stayed, courtesy of Don Juan Carlos, who He wanted to give the attendees a gift, as he has been able to learn Informaliataking charge of his stay in the Swiss city, out of deference to his granddaughter.
Irene, a young athlete, healthy and studious, wanted to celebrate the end of her school years and her coming of age, avoiding the traditional dance in society that adolescents from large families tend to convene, something that her cousin Victoria celebrated in Madrid with a spectacular party with dozens of guests, long haute couture dresses for her friends, dancing and drinks until dawn.
Irene, who is discreet and avoids ostentation, has preferred a late lunch with all her relatives and having her parents close, although we are talking about a broken marriage on the verge of divorce.
Concern for the king emeritus
What those who know the family of kings well have observed is the bad appearance that the former monarch has presented for weeks. Already at the royal wedding in Jordan, Juan Carlos I appeared much thinner, somewhat emaciated and with a tired air that had nothing to do with the mobility problems that we had already observed.
Sources close to his environment explain to Informalia what the former Head of State reportedly underwent surgery for a skin problem, the healing has not been good, it is not complete, he does not sleep well and this situation makes him tired and looks bad.
On the other hand, the absence of kings Felipe and Letizia It is understandable, given the manifest distance that the current king and his wife have imposed on the emeritus, avoiding proximity, except on rare and forced occasions, such as state funerals or the coronation of Carlos III, from which he was excluded despite being in London. What is really striking is the absence of Eleanor and SofiaIrene’s first cousins, with whom they have appeared to have a good but scarce relationship.
Leonor finished her studies in Wales weeks ago, she is on vacation although we don’t know where, since since her return to Spain she has only been seen at the confirmation of her sister Sofía. And the latter, who has practically finished the school year, could perfectly be absent from Madrid, since her cousin’s graduation was held on a weekend.
