One of the added morbidities of Almeida’s wedding was seeing Isabel Diaz Ayuso with her boyfriend in public after the scandal that, much to his regret, the businessman is involved in Alberto González Amador, alleged fraudster and accused of tax fraud and document falsification. But the president of the Community of Madrid herself, who this Saturday came dressed in ‘podemita’ purple to the ceremony with the secretary of the PP of Madrid, clarified to us that her boyfriend had preferred not to be there so as not to take focus away from the couple.
We had another morbidity left: the one that makes us see the Emeritus together despite Don Juan Carlos’s troubles. It was said that Queen Sofia was going to be at the ceremony with her husband and her daughters, but she was not there either.
We have had to settle for seeing Don Juan Carlos, elegant as always and leaning on his cane, but without the company of his wife. Yes, his daughters have been at his side, the infantas Elena and Cristinaand three of his grandchildren: John Urdangarin , Froilan and Victoria Federica. Only in this prominent branch of the Bourbons, Almeida has spent a thousand or so euros, since they add up to six covers at a rate of 175 euros each, which is the budget set by L’Hardy. But we have to add another place setting because Doña Sofía will be at the banquet.
The king emeritus is very loved in Madrid. Upon his arrival at the temple there was a crowd bath, as many citizens gathered at the doors of the Jesuit Church to see up close the illustrious attendees at the wedding of José Luis Martínez Almeida and Teresa Urquijo.
Coming from Abu Dhabi, the emeritus is one of the most anticipated guests. His relationship with his girlfriend is the perfect excuse to be photographed and, once again, be a media star, with the permission of the couple.
Although the groom and especially the bride are the main center of attention, the presence of Don Juan Carlos and to a lesser extent his daughters and three of his grandchildren overshadows many of the famous attendees. It seems that Queen Sofia did not want to lend herself to this circus and she preferred to go directly to the 25-hectare estate where the banquet is being held, undoubtedly much less exposed to the paparazzi. In fact, we have barely seen her aboard her car that takes her to Colmenar Viejo.
The infantas Elena and Cristina and their father along with three of their grandchildren did pose at the exit of the mass on the central Serrano street in Madrid. At this time they are heading like the Emerita to the farm where the banquet was going to be held. Everyone will meet there. Almost all of them: we can affirm that neither Doña Letizia nor her daughters are attending and that Felipe VI will not be there either, since the Monarch will preside over the Copa del Rey final between Mallorca and Atletic Bilbao tonight in Seville.
