Marta Gayá was not invited to the birthday party of Juan Carlos I in Abu Dhabi

“It was neither there nor expected.” This is how several guests consulted by Informalia express themselves emphatically about the vaunted attendance of Marta Gayá to the birthday of King Juan Carlos, this January 5, in Abu Dhabi.

According to some written media and comments collected from some television sets, the Mallorcan woman who was the great love of the former monarch, attended the celebration of the 87th birthday of the emeritus, a statement that each and every one of the attendees at the event agree to deny. consulted by this portal.

Marta Gayá and Juan Carlos I have never stopped having contact after their long love relationship, which led to a friendly breakup when the romance between the monarch and Corinna Larsen arrived. The decorator and Felipe de Borbón's father have coincided in some events of mutual friends, such as the reopening in 2017 of the Saint John's Church in Clonmellon, a small town in Ireland, restored by the Mexican Allen Sanginés-Krause, a person from the inner circle of the previous head of State and also a friend of the Mallorcan woman.

There is also evidence of the visit she made to the king in the Emirates, in 2021, whose images were captured by reporter Diego Arrabal. And it is very likely that when the emeritus passed through Geneva two weeks ago, to pick up his daughter Cristina and fly together to Madrid for the Infanta Elena's birthday, Don Juan Carlos had a meeting with his Mallorcan friend. But, “from that to including it in an almost family party, There is an abyss,” they explain to Informalia from the circle of friends closest to the former head of state.

The former lover of King Juan Carlos did not look like anything at a party with her daughters and several of her grandchildren

The children of Don Juan Carlos and Doña Sofía They knew at the time, through his father, that he had a serious relationship with the discreet socialite living in Mallorca, but she was never introduced to them nor did they even meet at any summer event on the island, when the kings spent their holidays in Palma.

Out of respect for her mother Doña Sofía and out of respect for the family (with a lowercase letter), Marta Gayá was never part of Don Juan Carlos's most intimate circle. The Abu Dhabi party was a meeting with friends but fundamentally family, with the daughters and grandchildren of the former monarch as the main protagonists along with their grandfather. The presence of his former lover was not appropriate. (Not even she would have wanted it).
