The week we leave behind has been very hectic for the Royal House and also for some members of the Family. After the controversy unleashed by Jaime Peñafiel’s latest book, Letizia and meaggravated by Jaime del Burgo’s surreal publications on a social network last weekend, with which he intended to make it clear to us that he had maintained a intermittent romantic relationship with Queen Letiziahis ex-sister-in-law and ex-friend, the journalists Helena García Melero and Pilar Eyre announced last Monday, on TV3, that King Juan Carlos is preparing a big party to celebrate his birthday on January 5. A self-tribute in Abu Dhabi to give back a little self-affirmation, self-aggrandizement and self-esteem.
Any excuse is good for Don Juan Carlos. The emeritus, according to the journalists, would be personally calling his guests, whom he would ask to maintain discretion. No names of the illustrious summoned have yet been leaked, but characters such as Felipe González or Mario Vargas Llosa appear in the pool. When we were still recovering from the incendiary television interview of Bárbara Rey’s son in which he claimed that he immortalized his mother’s intimate encounters with the monarch, Don Juan Carlos once again made headlines. It seems that he has taken a liking to giving people something to talk about.
The unpresentable book of Peñafiel, always obsessed with wildly criticizing Letizia, almost always based on crude arguments of misogyny., has returned Jaime del Burgo to the most questioned (and silenced) news. The man who was Telma Ortiz’s husband and, previously, a witness at the kings’ wedding, has been one of the main sources for Peñafiel’s little book.

It never hurts to remember that publishing another person’s image without their consent is a crime against privacy. Furthermore, the publication on the Internet of intimate images with the sole purpose of causing harm represents a form of sexist violence.
