the approach to Don Felipe who marks distances with his father

The recent reunion of Don Felipe with his sister Cristina in Girona at an official event of the King leads us to a new institutional narrative: the normalization of their reunions and, also, that we will see them together more times. Even at official events like this one. It was on the 50th anniversary of the inauguration of the Teatre-Museu Dalí on September 25. There was no photo or posing of both, but they were there, they coincided and they saw each other.

This approach of Cristina to her brother distances her from her sister and her father. To begin with, he marks a distance from the emeritus, who is experiencing a stormy week due to the photos of the kiss with Bárbara Rey, which his son Ángel has leaked to a Dutch magazine after remaining secret for 30 years.

The information tsunami that this report has caused keeps the emeritus cloistered in Sanxenxo, where he is scheduled to participate this weekend in the regattas that bear his name. Infanta Cristina would have told her father that “it was not the time” to prepare her memoirs at this time of reputational crisis, according to Constitutional Monarchy.

There are more details that convey the King’s forgiveness to his sister, but they are part of the family sphere. Like the decision of the children of the former Duchess of Palma to live for a few months in Zarzuela with their maternal grandmother, Doña Sofía, whom they adore.

In this scenario, as we said, Elena is also present. The first-born Borbón is devoted to her father, she works closely with him. He has traveled to Abu Dhabi on numerous occasions, some with Cristina, over these four years. Also, she has been the architect of uniting her parents and her brother and Mrs. Letizia for her 60th birthday at a family meal in Madrid. Elena is like him glue emotional of the family. The one that builds bridges between both parties. He adores Don Juan Carlos. He also takes on representation duties for the House, such as when he traveled to the Paris Olympic Games this summer. Now the two princesses, sisters, show different strategies.
