Juan Carlos I is left out

The need to multiply to spend part of Christmas with family members and the distribution of dates, visits, lunches and dinners is not the exclusive heritage of ordinary people. The bobbin lace that we make to give some affection to all aspects and family branches unites us in this case with the Royal Family. The agendas of Felipe VI, Mrs.’s Joy and those of their daughters, both in their training period, make it necessary to determine the celebrations precisely in order to spend some time with certain relatives, especially grandmothers. Mrs. Sofia y Paloma Rocasolano, and also with grandfather Jesús Ortiz and step-grandmother Ana Togores, the wife of the Queen’s father. Is left over Don Juan Carlos, separate case for known reasons. In this hype, subject more to the logistics of what is possible and to the protocol than to the proportional amount of affection, the most relevant, famous and controversial of the grandparents has been left out since 2020: the Emeritus, in the end, the character who, together with Sofia of Greece, gives origin and media meaning to all his descendants and his consorts.

Thus, once they finished their classes at the Naval Academy or in Wales, Leonor and Sofia They accompanied their parents to Dana’s ground zero, where they took a crowd bath, although that visit did not excite everyone, as did the Mayor of Paiporta.

But, returning to the Christmas holidays, we find the distribution like this: Christmas Eve the daughters of the Kings As far as we know, they spent it with their parents in Zarzuela and some media assume that they shared the evening with the “maternal zone”, that is, with grandmother Paloma Rocasolano, aunt Telma Ortiz and it is assumed that with the grandmother’s boyfriend, Marcus Brandler, the Nigerian-born British businessman. It is also possible but it has not been confirmed that he passed through the palace with Telma. Robert Gavin, the lawyer and writer who was married to Sharon Corr, the violinist of The Corrs, and is the father of Erin, the little daughter of Telma, sister of the teenager Amanda, who was in New York with her mother weeks ago and is the fruit of her relationship with Enrique Martín Llop.

Between Christmas Eve and Christmas, the princess and the infanta therefore saw and greeted that part of their family, the one with the least blue blood, although it is assumed that the paternal grandmother, that is, the Queen Emeritus, was there that night. in Zarzuela or on the 25th and greeted his granddaughters. It has been published that Doña Sofía dined in Zarzuela with her daughters, the Infantas Elena and Cristina, and her sister Princess Irene, as well as several grandchildren Urdangarin and Marichalar, but that they did so in another part of the Zarzuela complex. According to this, the grandparents remain to be completed: the emeritus will be called or have a video conference (if they do, it has not been made known) but They will not be with him, since Don Juan Carlos is in Abu Dhabi, where he will receive his daughters at the end of the year, As we anticipated in the first place, and some grandchildren and will celebrate his birthday on the 5th. We have the other grandfather, Jesús Ortiz.

The roscón with grandfather Jesús

On New Year’s Eve, Felipe, Letizia, Leonor and Sofía vary. While in some years they decide to go away on a trip, there are other occasions when they prefer to celebrate the day at the Zarzuela. Then, Three Kings’ Day will also be a time when everyone will take the opportunity to get together as a family, although the calendar of the center of Wales where Infanta Sofía studies does not extend the holidays until January 6.

It is not strange for anyone to confirm that Letizia maintains a great relationship with her mother, Paloma Rocasolano. And, also, with his sister, Telma Ortiz. The three make countless plans around the city of Madrid, where Queen Letizia’s sister moved some time ago. Instead, a few months ago, Paloma decided to move to Murcia, with her boyfriend, where she has been living for a while. That is why this Christmas has been special because of Paloma’s return to the capital and, also, because in the month of January Princess Leonor will embark for more than six months on the Juan Sebastián Elcano, on a journey in which she will be away from his family.

It is Paloma Rocasolano who comes, on most occasions, to see her granddaughter, Princess Leonor. She does it at some key moments such as the Princess of Asturias Awards, in which she always tries to go unnoticed. Even so, their reactions are picked up by all the media, just like, for example, what happens with Queen Sofia. Paloma and her former husband, Jesús Ortiz, separated when Letizia was very young. That is why in recent times, they have met publicly on rare occasions. Thus, they do not spend any of these festivities together and prefer to spread out to spend as much time together.

Three Kings Day is reserved for Jesús Ortiz. It is to their house where the princess, the infanta and the Kings go to eat roscón, as has always been a tradition in their family. In addition, gifts are also exchanged. It is a tradition that the queen has always wanted to maintain. It is true that other customs have varied over time and depending on the moment and circumstance. And, although Jesús and Letizia do not appear too much in public, they do spend a lot of time together. The retired journalist tries to go unnoticed, something he has achieved except for some comments on the networks that have had their echoes.

He uses his social networks to explain some life experiences and to give his opinion on different topics. The Royal House clipped the wings of Queen Letizia’s father after, shortly after learning of her engagement to King Felipe, he called a television program to defend his daughter. Since then, Jesús Ortiz has rarely been the protagonist. Ana Togores is more discreet and prudent if possible. Jesús Ortiz’s wife, who runs the Notaries’ magazine, maintains a great relationship with her husband’s daughter and with Felipe VI. And he always eats the roscón with them on Three Kings’ Day, a day that the Monarch attends Military Easter. However, at this point of age (Leonor is 19 years old and Sofia has four months left until she comes of age) the daughters of the Kings will travel with their parents if they decide to spend New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Eve together as a family but they have “life own” in terms of their preferences for certain celebrations.
