Barcelona – She always stood by him, but now it’s all over: Infanta Cristina’s (56) marriage drama is entering a new round. Her husband Iñaki Urdangarín (54) has been controversial since his trial a few years ago. In the summer of 2018, the 56-year-old sentenced her beloved husband to five years and ten months in prison.

While his mother is silent, the young man has commented on the separation for the first time. His mother, on the other hand, is said to have fled after the marriage, according to the Spanish magazine “Semana” to Abu Dhabi to her father *, the exiled former king Juan Carlos I. * (84). Still, Pablo believes his parents will find each other again. “I think yes, everything will be fine again,” he is quoted as saying. He and his siblings hope, the 21-year-old continues, that mother and father will be reconciled.
In conclusion, however, Pablo leaves a few question marks: When asked whether he has already met his father’s new girlfriend, he says no, but he adds that he would not be entirely averse to meeting her. What does that mean? However Cristina of Spain*’s complicated triangular relationship will develop in the future – one thing is certain: it will continue to be exciting for the media and royal fans. * tz.de and 24royal.de are offered by IPPEN.MEDIA.
