Philip VI (56 years old) and Infanta Cristina (59) have become the unwitting protagonists of the Victoria López-Quesada’s wedding (27) and Enrique Moreno of the Covawhich was held last Saturday, August 31st. The king and his sister took center stage when they were seen arriving together at the wedding, in the same car driven by the monarch. An image that, with the family pose of “yes, I do”, broadcast on the night of this Sunday, September 1st, leaves proof of a approach between the sovereign and the middle daughter of the emeritus.
The fact that they arrived together at the wedding has already set off all the alarms. But the photo released a day later is much more striking, since it is the First pose of King Felipe and Infanta Cristina after six years. It should be noted that it did not take place as part of an institutional event, but rather as part of a private and family event.
In the image in question, taken by photographer Bibiana Fierro, the entire López-Quesada family poses, with the newlyweds in the center and Felipe VI, standing next to the bride. In another row, seated, are the infantas Helen (60 years old) and Cristina and the Queen Sofia (85).
The last time Felipe and Cristina, whose relationship was affected by the Nóos case, posed together was 2018when the emeritus gathered his children and grandchildren in the same photo for his 80th birthday.
Since then, the brothers have met again publicly on several occasions, but until now, they had not shown any closeness. Last July, at an event at La Caixa that they both attended, they did not even look at each other. Felipe and Cristina They chose a private, family event to confirm that their separation is a thing of the past.They did so seven months after it was learned that the Infanta had signed her divorce with Iñaki Urdangarin (56 years old).
Victoria Lopez-Quesada is an important figure for bothShe is the goddaughter of King Felipe VI and the daughter of a great friend of Iñaki Urdangarin’s ex-wife, Cristina de Borbón-Dos Sicilias, mother of the bride, and is one of the main confidants of the Infanta, so her presence at the wedding was almost obligatory.
However, Felipe’s sister is not the only one in the king’s family with whom Cristina has a fabulous relationship. He also maintains a close friendship with the queen. Letizia (51 years old), who was unable to attend the ceremony because he was in Paris for the 2024 Paralympic Games.
However, other members of the family were present. Shortly after Felipe VI and Cristina arrived together at the Soto Monzanaque estate, where the wedding took place, the Infanta Elena was seen, accompanied by her daughter, Victoria Federica de Marichalar (23 years old), who has a close relationship with the young groom. On Urdangarin’s side, they were Juan (24) and Irene (19). Emeritus Sofía has been added to the list.
