• Royalty: The King's march truncates the reconciliation of Juan Carlos and Sofía

  • Monarchy: Doña Sofía, the hurt and greatly affected by the departure of Don Juan Carlos from Spain

There was a time when everything in the Royal Family was

smiles and gestures of complicity.

Those wonderful years in which, in addition to the Kings Don Juan Carlos and Doña Sofía, the family of the Infanta Pilar and that of the

Infanta Margarita, as

well as the Counts of Barcelona

, traveled to the Zarzuela Palace on these very endearing dates.

.

A time that will never return and that contrasts with

the emptiness and absences

that have marked the festivities this year.

However, in the past, things were not like that.

Proof of this is a

video from the early 80s

that has just been leaked and that has become a

viral phenomenon.

Some images that have come to light thanks to the Instagram profile @ royaltyg5950 (and which were issued by Intereconomía), specialized in royal issues related to the Spanish Royal Family.

The sequence dates from

Christmas Eve in 1980.

In the video we see Don Juan Carlos and Doña Sofía

elegantly dressed

and enjoying the evening in Zarzuela.

At one point, the then Monarch

covers his eyes to his wife and surprises her.

Felipe VI's mother is very happy and

does not stop smiling.

The Count of Barcelona is witness

to the complicity between the then Kings, who make

gestures of affection and embrace,

oblivious to the gazes of the curious.

Some images that reveal a very unknown facet of the couple, which has been characterized in recent years by maintaining

a cold and distant relationship,

with few gestures of affection and whose communication has been scheduled and directed through their respective Secretaries.

In addition to the Count of Barcelona, ​​at one point in the video

, the husband of the Infanta Pilar,

Luis Gómez-Acebo, is seen, one more sample of the massive celebrations that were taking place at this time in the Palace and that radically contrast with the current situation , marked by a

deep crisis as

a result of the controversies around the figure of King Juan Carlos.

Without a doubt, some images to remember one of the golden times of the Spanish monarchy.
