• Changes. Infanta Cristina stops working for La Caixa after 26 years linked to the entity
  • Scandal: The King renounces the inheritance and withdraws the assignment to Don Juan Carlos for his fund in a tax haven

The repudiation of Don Felipe to his father will probably have brought bad memories to the Infanta Cristina, since he went through a similar drink in June 2015, when his brother stripped him of the Duchy of Palma after being sentenced along with Urdangarin to the bench sentence for the Nóos case. Considered a plagued, Zarzuela drew a sanitary cord, which some attribute to the influence of Queen Letizia, whose relationship is lousy with her sister-in-law. However, the current scandal involving Don Juan Carlos has a positive side for her, such as not being the only member of her family who has fallen out of favor due to her "not exemplary" behavior.

Unlike the Infanta Elena, the relationship between Cristina and her father has not been a smooth journey. Colder in character, the former Duchess of Palma, according to those close to the royal family, "was the most independent, she was always more at her own, postponing her family . " Something that he demonstrated in 1992 when, despite his father's displeasure, he settled in Barcelona, ​​since his heart then beat for Álvaro Bultó, the late Catalan adventurer. He demonstrated it again when in 1996 he met Urdangarin at the Atlanta Olympics and despite the opposition of Don Juan Carlos, he threatened to go live with him if he did not give the green light to the commitment. Again he ignored the parental slogans when he supported Iñaki in his decision to go into business after leaving handball, which Don Juan Carlos, perhaps from his own experience, considered risky for a son-in-law.

Parental supplications

The most difficult stage was when, with Urdangarin already charged and with the Nóos case bleeding the image of the monarch, the Infanta, despite paternal pleas, refused both to distance herself from her husband and to renounce her rights to the throne, a gesture that would have provided an oxygen balloon to the institution. After the abdication, the accusing fingers went to the Infanta, since Nóos opened the spigot through which the monarchy of Don Juan Carlos began to make waters, which had just sunk the irruption of Corinna Larsen after the crisis of the elephant of Botswana.

From there, a gap was opened between father and daughter, despite the fact that both Doña Sofía, who always supported Cristina, and Infanta Elena, who became her sister's staunch supporter , tried to mediate. Something that paid off when Don Juan Carlos traveled to Geneva for Urdangarin's 50th birthday in January 2018. With Iñaki in prison, Cristina began to normalize her family relationships , participating in a family pose with the Kings on Doña Sofía's 80th birthday , which he attended with his four children. In April 2019, the emeritus traveled to Germany with Doña Sofía and her daughters to witness a handball match by his grandson Pablo. It coincided with the then secret decision of Don Felipe to renounce the suspicious funds that might come from his father before a notary. The punishment operation against Don Juan Carlos, who in June abandoned official life, was underway.
