The monarch did not hide her gesture in the presence of the emeritus at the funeral mass for King Felipe's cousin
The long-awaited face-to-face reunion between King Emeritus Juan Carlos and Queen Letizia has generated great expectation in the Spanish royal family. This Monday, April 8, the funeral mass was celebrated for Fernando Gómez-Acebo, cousin of King Felipe, where a rapprochement could be observed between Queen Letizia and the emeritus, Juan Carlos I. Despite having coincided in previous events, they never met. I had never seen an interaction as direct as on this occasion.
The presence of Princess Leonor's mother at this difficult time has been highlighted, along with the assistance of the infantas Elena and Cristina, as well as the monarch's in-laws. The images of Letizia talking with her father-in-law have attracted attention, showing a new rapprochement between them.
Since the king emeritus moved his residence to Abu Dhabi, there have been few occasions in which they have been seen together, so this meeting takes on special relevance, given that it was not thought that the queen consort would dare to exchange any words. with the man she herself made flee out of Spain.
This rapprochement between Juan Carlos and Letizia could be part of a strategy by the Spanish Royal House to strengthen family ties. Despite past differences, a change has been observed in the relationship between the emeritus and the queen, with more frequent family meetings.
This new chapter in their relationship has aroused the interest of the media and the public, who closely follow every gesture and conversation between both members of royalty, since apparently and after so many years Queen Letizia will probably leave the quarrels behind and finally be a united family.
