Madrid, Spain – King Felipe of Spain is facing turmoil in his marriage as shocking allegations of Queen Letizia’s infidelity have surfaced in a new book by journalist Jaime Peñafiel. The Spanish royal family is reeling from claims that the king was aware of his wife’s affair with a rumored lover.
In his book titled “Letizia’s Silences,” Peñafiel alleges that Queen Letizia was cheating on King Felipe in real time, with bodyguards possibly reporting on her whereabouts. The book details an incident in 2011 when Letizia was reportedly accompanied by her rumored lover, Jaime del Burgo, on a trip to New York.
Del Burgo, who was previously married to Letizia’s sister, claimed to still be romantically involved with Letizia even after her marriage to King Felipe in 2004. The allegations have left the king feeling “crushed and destroyed” by his wife’s alleged betrayal, as he grapples with the aftermath of the revelations.
Peñafiel’s book paints a picture of a shattered world for Letizia, portraying her as cold, emotionally immature, and passive-aggressive. The author also delves into the strained relationships between Letizia and King Felipe’s family members, including Queen Sofia and Infanta Cristina, suggesting that their animosity towards her stems from her behavior.
The allegations in Peñafiel’s book have caused a stir in Spain, with the royal family’s office yet to comment on the matter. The claims of infidelity and betrayal have cast a shadow over the celebrated marriage of King Felipe and Queen Letizia, who marked their 20th anniversary recently.
As the scandal unfolds, questions arise about the future of the Spanish royal family and the implications of these allegations on the monarchy. With the release of Peñafiel’s explosive book, the palace is faced with addressing the allegations and the potential damage to the reputation of the royal family.
