For years now, Queen Letizia has been \u201cabove\u201d reproach and above the chattering gossip of the Spanish royal court. She got a lot of sh-t before her father-in-law Juan Carlos abdicated, but there\u2019s been a lot of time and energy put into presenting Letizia and Felipe as a modern golden couple now that he\u2019s king and she\u2019s consort. This story has the power to knock Letizia off that pedestal, although it will be interesting to watch this play out in the Spanish and European media. So, Letizia\u2019s former brother-in-law Jaime del Burgo – who was married to her sister – claims that he had an affair with Letizia before and after she married Felipe. Holy sh-t.<\/p>\n
\nSpain\u2019s Queen Letizia had an affair during the early years of her marriage to King Felipe, it has been claimed. Jaime del Burgo, a longtime friend of the queen who went on to marry her sister, has alleged that he was in a romantic relationship with Letizia, before she was married in 2004 and at another point after her wedding. <\/p>\n
Mr Del Burgo shared an image of Letizia on social media in which she is visibly pregnant. King Felipe and Queen Letizia\u2019s daughters were born in 2005 and 2007. He claimed that Letizia sent him the photo while they were conducting the affair along with the message: \u201cLove. I am wearing your pashmina. It is like feeling you by my side. It looks after me. Protects me. I am counting the hours until we see each other again, love you, get out of here. Yours.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speculation over the Spanish queen\u2019s relationship with Mr Del Burgo emerged after the 53-year-old businessman was interviewed by the author of a new book about his relationship with the royal. In Letizia y yo (Letizia and I), by royal reporter Jaime Pe\u00f1afiel, Mr Del Burgo claimed Queen Letizia told him that she loved him as they lay in hammocks by the pool at her and Felipe\u2019s royal residence, La Zarzuela. This prompted him to write an unpublished play in English, entitled The Hammock. <\/p>\n
He is also quoted as saying that Spain\u2019s CNI secret service placed him under surveillance for five years and even broke into his home in Switzerland. Mr Del Burgo said the alleged operation did not achieve its presumed objectives as he had placed everything to do with his relationship with Letizia \u2013 \u201cphotographs, videos, mobile phones, text messages\u201d \u2013 in a bank vault.<\/p>\n
Spain\u2019s royal household declined to comment on Mr Del Burgo\u2019s claims.<\/p>\n
Mr Del Burgo claims in the book that he had been poised to propose to Letizia \u2013 then an anchor on Spanish state television news shows \u2013 and had a ring in his pocket on the night she first told him about her relationship with Felipe. The book does not allege that any affair was conducted during Letizia\u2019s marriage to Felipe. However, he has now claimed that it did.<\/p>\n
Mr Del Burgo, who was a witness at the wedding of Felipe and Letizia, claimed that the future queen begged him to \u201cnever leave her\u201d the night before she was married. He went on in 2012 to marry the queen\u2019s sister, Telma Ortiz, before the couple divorced two years later.
On his account on X, formerly known as Twitter, which was deleted on Monday, Mr Del Burgo said that the book had not told the whole truth, and made the claim that he and Letizia had been lovers during her marriage to King Felipe.<\/p>\n
Some social media users posted messages of support for Queen Letizia. Carolina Alonso, spokeswoman of the Left-wing and anti-monarchist Unidas Podemos group in Madrid\u2019s regional parliament, said Mr Del Burgo\u2019s messages were a \u201csexist attack on her privacy\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
[From The Telegraph] <\/p>\n
Wow. Even if Jaime\u2019s account is true – and that\u2019s a big if – this is incredibly indiscreet more than anything else. I guess there\u2019s an element of \u201cwhat were the Spanish taxpayers paying for\u201d when it comes to the question of whether Jaime was really being spied on. The idea that the Spanish intelligence agency was surveilling him in Switzerland? Over an affair?? I don\u2019t know. Like, I\u2019m more likely to believe that Letizia had a sidepiece more than \u201cthe Spanish government surveilled Letizia\u2019s former brother-in-law for years.\u201d This is also giving me vibes of Colin Firth, Livia Giuggioli and that Italian guy she was banging. That\u2019s the feeling here – like Jaime got way too attached and Letizia thought it was something a lot less complicated.<\/p>\n
