Infanta Elena, in the delivery of the "cape of art", last day 14. GTRES

On the tenth anniversary of his divorce with Jaime de Marichalar, his act of collecting the "cape of art" is one of the few public appearances

Infanta Elena and Jaime Marichalar, ten years after their divorce, continue to avoid

After a stage away from public events, Infanta Elena (55) reappeared last week, to receive the "art cape" at the Wellington Hotel for her support of the Fiesta, and repeated this Thursday, at the charity auction of capons of Cascajares held at the Palace hotel. For the bullfighting act, she carefully put on makeup and wore a striking polka dot pants. But sometimes she is even neglected , as at the funeral by Carmen López Oleaga, mother of Miriam Ungría, on October 29, where she was surprised by her complexion and many gray hairs on her hair. They may influence those back problems he suffers from the fall of the horse he suffered in 2016, and occasionally force him to rest. Nothing to do with that Duchess of Lugo or "luxury", summum of elegance in the late 90s, in which he continuously covered covers with Jaime de Marichalar, (56) his "aesthetic pygmalion", wearing Dior, Lacroix models , or Valentino.

A leading role that is history. The proof is that this Monday, November 25, when they are ten years old of the divorce statement , what is on everyone's lips is the body in bikini that Froilán's girlfriend (20), Mar Torres, has shown on Instagram and Victoria Federica's cuddles (19) with DJ Jorge Bárcenas, who has replaced the bullfighter Gonzalo Caballero in his heart. Froilán and 'Vic', as they nickname her, have dispelled the memories of that "divorce by mutual agreement" (arduously achieved), scandalous for being the first in the royal family, whose details were shielded "to protect their children" (already the crown). It was the finishing touch to that "temporary cessation of coexistence" announced two years earlier, on November 13, 2007, ending a marriage that for the Infanta became a prison from which he longed to escape, despite Jaime's pleas, and the Marichalar family prayers for their reconciliation.

It was difficult to join Elena Campechanota, a lover of horses and horsemen, from her courtship , as evidenced by her youthful passion for the rider Luis Astolfi, and a Marichalar son of Count Soriano, a bank clerk in a Paris where she acquired glamor, and conquered to the Infanta for her insistence. "He did not stop until he convinced me," she revealed before her bath in Seville on March 18, 1995. Differences that after the serious stroke suffered by Marichalar in December 2001, when Froilán was 2 years old, resulted in insurmountable. It was found in New York, where they arrived in 2003 for Jaime to rehabilitate, because while the infant taught classes to children in the Bronx, Jaime jumped into fashion at LMVH, a multinational luxury company of which he is still an advisor. On the way back to Madrid, there was little left of their union, since the Infanta, who defined herself as "Cinderella at eleven", went to bed early to go riding before going to work in Mapfre, and Marichalar was lavished in night saraos to Get away from your illness. That, together with his extravagant scarves and accessories, made him the national talk. Something that Zarzuela did not stop, perhaps preparing the ground for separation. Despite the rumorology, it seems that the trigger was the gym preparations with anabolics with which the royal son-in-law intended to tone his thinness. "Jaime wanted to clarify it publicly, but Zarzuela opposed it," a close friend assures LOC.

After the breakup, Marichalar was the image of the devastation , as symbolized by the withdrawal in a wheelbarrow of his figure located with the royal family in the wax museum. Even touched by the aftermath and ceased the presidency of the Winterthur Foundation and the Portland Cements Council, he remained alone in his luxurious triplex in Nuñez de Balboa, next to the Golden Mile, which he acquired thanks to the heritage of his aunt Coco and that was semi-empty, because the princess took her wedding gifts, in addition to her children. Marichalar fought for them at arm's length, and ended up achieving joint custody.

On the contrary, the Infanta Elena was happy, enjoying things as simple as wearing jeans , freed from Marichalar's aesthetic dictatorship. Initially he rented a vest in Fuente del Berro and with the help of King Juan Carlos, he acquired an apartment in the Barrio del Niño Jesus, where he resides. Her children, her institutional acts, her work as director of the social area at the Mapfre Foundation, horse riding and a small circle of friends, such as Carlos García Revenga, her former secretary and her intimate Rita Allendesalazar, filled her life, except for a short revived with the rider Luis Astolfi, did not remade sentimentally. Their scare surprises were provided by their children, especially Froilán, mischievous and little given to driving elbows, which they sent internally to the SAFA of Sigüenza and later to the Blue Ridge, of Virginia, where he finished high school. Also Vic, which unlike now, was a very quiet girl, spent three years in a British boarding school, Mayeield St Leonard's.

An existence that trastocó e l scandal Noos in 2011, leading to the bench at the Infanta Cristina and prison Urdangarin, one of the triggers of the abdication of King Juan Carlos, in 2014. Don Felipe on the throne, Elena was eliminated with his sister from the royal family and the institutional agenda. Something that many monarchists criticize, considering that the Duchess of Lugo, whose relationship with Queen Letizia is distant, impeccably represents the Crown. The Infanta, very close to her father, has become today a kind of don Juan Carlos's guide, who accompanies even Sanxenxo, where she also competes in 6m sailboat races. The emeritus is worried about his firstborn, because he sees her helpless, even fears that when he disappears, his position in the Mapfre foundation will be in danger.

For Marichalar, already well recovered from its aftermath, the outbreak of Noos was, however, a revulsion, since his disgusted image won many integers compared to Urdangarin. It is true that, outside the royal umbrella, he has proven his worth in fashion, since in addition to remaining as an advisor to MLVH and Loewe, he has been a Fendi since 2018. He has even set up a tailor-made tailoring company, B-Corner, of which are Enrique Ponce clients or tennis player Feliciano López. Very discreet, he has not remade his sentimental life, and although he continues to attend social events, he hardly appears in the media, except to defend his children, since he is a courageous father. They are today their only link with the Infanta , with whom the tensions of divorce have been overcome, their relationship is limited to mere education. If before his concern was Froilán, now that he seems focused on his girlfriend, Mar, and his second studies in business administration at CIS, his development is Victoria Federica. There is no day that the couché paper does not echo its fashion outfits, its affairs, or its nightclubs, as it has taken the witness of Froilán. A nightmare for the Infanta, which her father contemplates with greater tolerance, because she is the "girl of her eyes".
