A controversial birthday
The father of Philip VI He turned 86 on January 5 and celebrated it at a party that his close circle organized in Abu Dhabi, where he has lived since 2020. The king knew it and gave his approval: friends like Carlos Herrera or Los del Río and a multitude of relatives, like the infantas Elena and Cristina with almost all of their children. Even Mrs. Sofía was present through a video call.
What Zarzuela did not like was the leak of the images of the celebration to a Spanish publication that dedicated its cover to it. “It seems like an indiscretion to me,” the experts here criticized. “It wasn't the best decision.” Some, like Federico Jiménez Losantos, went a step further: “He cuts the insignia of the Royal House from the cake as if it were Leonor's head. He is bad and he is behaving terribly.”
