• Families The education of Pablo Urdangarin, the son of the Infanta Cristina who always responds to the press: "I'm used to it, really"

  • Series Manolo Caro: "When I came out of the closet I realized it was too late"

A week ago, a seemingly anonymous young man posted a message on his Instagram account to reach his little more than 1,000 subscribers.

In it, he showed a clapperboard with the name

Once upon a time...

next to the Netflix hashtag.

As revealed by the magazine

Hola

days later, this boy was nothing more and nothing less than

Diego Urdangarin

, nephew of the former Duke of Palma Iñaki Urdangarin.

And this clapperboard is the signal, which showed his participation in the new Netflix fiction

Once upon a time...but no longer

, directed by the Mexican

Manolo Caro.

Director known for the series

La casa de las flores

or

Someone must die.

Diego Urdangarin

timidly exposed his first success through social networks.

However, very few know who this young promise is, nor her family relationships.

Son of Mikel, older brother of Iñaki Urdangarin and his wife

Deél Fabiola

, he was born 24 years ago in

Vitoria

and, although he may not look like it, he is not dedicated to acting.

A dancer by profession, he began his dance training at the José Uruñuela conservatory in Vitoria.

In 2015, he moved to Germany to continue his studies at the

Ballett-Akademie Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Munich

.

In 2018 he got his first job in the Czech dance company

South Bohemian Ballet

, located in the town of Ceské Budjovice and directed by

Luká Slavický, one of the most prestigious dancers in the Czech Republic.

In 2021,

Diego

returned to

Germany

and was signed by the dance company

Oldenburgisches Staatstheate, from Odenburg

.

Where he remains to this day.

In his social networks, you can see various dance exhibitions and the great elasticity and mastery that he has with his body expression.

For this reason, the young man seeks to make his way in the artistic world.

In his latest project for the musical series

Once upon a time...but no,

the dancer will coincide with a mixed cast of famous musicians and actors.

Among them,

Rossy de Palma, Asier Etxeandia, Sebastián Yatra or Nía Correia.

In this project, he will put his great talent for dancing at the service of the small screen for a renowned director such as

Manolo Caro.

The family

Diego Urdangarin

is the son of Mikel Urdangarin, an athlete and director of the Club Deportivo Estadio, an entity that was submerged in the

Nóos

case due to contracts made in 2000. In this sports club, where Diego's mother also works as a pilates instructor,

the Infanta Cristina used to practice paddle tennis

.

From his parents,

Diego

inherited a passion for sports and the young man has always highlighted the encouragement that his family has given him in order to meet his goals.

In addition to being the cousin of handball player Pablo Urdangarin, he has two brothers:

Arola

and

Marcos.

The first, 30 years old, was married in September without the presence of the Infanta at the ceremony, although she herself had been a page at

Cristina

's wedding with

Iñaki

.

The second, 22 years old, studies Engineering in France.

Although it seems that

Diego does not like to use his last name to make himself known,

the Urdangarins show that they are very close.

His father,

Mikel

, was a great support for

Iñaki Urdangarin

when he was in prison and one of his most frequent visitors.

For his part,

Diego

usually responds to the provocations and comments of those who judge him for his family past.

In 2017, while his uncle

was confined in the Brieva prison

, an Internet user rebuked him by asking him on networks: "Are you proud to be your uncle's nephew?"

To which he replied:

"And you, are you proud of yours?"
