La Familia Real Española se ha visto sacudida por las afirmaciones de que el Rey Felipe quedó “aplastado y destruido” por la supuesta infidelidad de la Reina Letizia.

El periodista Jaime Peñafiel, de 91 años, ha lanzado un nuevo ataque contra la Reina de Europa con su nuevo libro ‘Los silencios de Letizia’, que se publica hoy en  España  .

En enero, el veterano reportero real fue despedido del  periódico español El Mundo después de 20 años  tras una serie de acusaciones perjudiciales hechas en su primer libro ‘Letizia & I’.

Su exitoso libro afirmaba que  la reina Letizia había tenido un romance con su ex cuñado Jaime del Burgo . La Casa Real española se negó a hacer comentarios sobre las acusaciones en ese momento.

En su último trabajo, Jamie asegura que Felipe era “consciente en tiempo real de que Letizia le engañaba” ya que sus guardaespaldas tienen la obligación de informar sobre su paradero.

La autora denuncia que guardaespaldas acompañaron a la reina Letizia en un viaje que realizó a Nueva York en 2011 con su “amante” Jaime del Burgo, con quien había salido antes de conocer a Felipe. 

El autor escribió: ‘Ese día [en Nueva York], estaba acompañada de sus fieles escoltas, quienes, sin duda alguna, pasarían un informe al Ministerio del Interior o [al Palacio de] la Zarzuela.’

Tras esto, Jaime asegura que Felipe ha quedado “aplastado y destrozado” por el supuesto engaño de su mujer.

El reportero real -que trabajó durante 20 años en la revista Hola!- asegura que Felipe se ha “hundido en el infierno” por la supuesta “traición” de su mujer y “quiere salir”. 

En otra parte del libro, Jamie etiqueta  a la reina Letizia  de “fría, emocionalmente inmadura y pasivo-agresiva” y afirma que la familia del rey Felipe la “odia”.

Jaime Peñafiel, de 91 años, fue  despedido del periódico español El Mundo después de 20 años  a principios de este año tras la publicación del primer libro sobre la Reina llamado ‘Letizia & I’. 

El libro causó conmoción en la  Casa Real Española  después de que el autor afirmara que la  Reina tenía una relación romántica con su ex cuñado Jaime del Burgo.  La Casa Real Española se negó a hacer comentarios sobre las acusaciones en ese momento.

Tras su despido, el veterano periodista ha escrito ahora otro libro -titulado ‘Los silencios de Letizia’- que comienza ahondando en su romance inicial con el rey Felipe.

In the opening chapter, the author sensationally claims that ‘everything in Letizia’s world has been broken’ as a result of alleged ‘deceit, adultery and betrayals’.

The author goes on to say Queen Letizia has a ‘cold, indestructible and determined’ aura about her and that the royal’s silence on the recent allegations signify her ’emotional immaturity’.

Jaime claims the royal ‘resorts to silence as a way of controlling and punishing other people’.

He then goes on to claim that Letizia’s ‘passive aggressive’ behaviour towards King Felipe is the reason her ‘mother-in-law [Queen Sofia] and sisters-in-laws [Infanta Cristina and the Duchess of Lugo] hate her so much’.

In the following chapter, Jaime alleges that King Felipe fell in love with his future wife while watching her present the news.

Reports on how the royal couple got together have varied over the years – with some claiming they were introduced at dinner party while others allege they first met when Felipe visited an oil spillage site in Northern Spain.

When they began dating, Jaime claims Letizia would ‘test’ Felipe’s feelings for her by travelling frequently.

In 2002, the future Queen flew to Santo Domingo to report on the annual Ibero-American Summit – which Jaime describes as Letizia putting Felipe’s intentions ‘to the test’.

Weeks later, the author claims Letizia flew to Costa Rica as a ‘strategy’ to secure the future King of Spain.

Tras su despido del diario español El Mundo, el veterano periodista ha escrito ahora otro libro, titulado 'Los silencios de Letizia', que comienza profundizando en su romance temprano con el rey Felipe.

He explained: ‘It was a strategy, because that absence was a real torment for the very much in love Felipe, who conceived distance as the worst of evils, coming to understand [Spanish poet] Lope de Vega when he said that “the beginning of absence is like the end of life.”‘

Following this, Jaime says Letizia was certain of the strength of Felipe’s ‘total love’ for her and returned to Spain ‘bossy and manipulative’.

What’s more, the author claims that Felipe assured Letizia that he could ‘cut short’ any news outlet reporting on their romance.

During one of Felipe’s visits to Letizia’s Valdebernardo apartment, Jamie alleges that the journalist confided in royal about how she used to work as a cigarette stewardess while living in Mexico.

He also predicted the couple, who have maintained what the mainstream Spanish press have described as a dignified silence in the face of ongoing infidelity claims by Jaime del Burgo, would follow in the footsteps of Felipe’s parents Juan Carlos and Sofia.

Spain’s former king is now living in exile in Abu Dhabi after corruption investigations he was caught up in left his reputation in tatters although he returns to his homeland from time to time.

Later in the book, Jaime alleges that Felipe and Letizia are living separate lives and ‘just keeping up appearances in public’.

Following its publication today, Spanish publication El Nacional Cat published a review claiming that Jaime Peñafiel is ‘determined to end the Queen’s career’ and described him as ‘one of Letizia’s biggest enemies.

In ‘Letizia & I’, the Queen’s former brother-in-law Jaime del Burgo makes the unlikely claim that he was planning to propose to Letizia – who was a newsreader at the time – on the night that she told him that she was dating a high-profile man in Spain.

Letizia reportedly told him that she had ‘met someone who would oblige her to quit her profession’, which Jaime said led him to deduce her mystery partner was Felipe.

What’s more, the royal’s ex-brother-in-law also made the far-fetched claim that he ‘dealt’ with Letizia’s pre-nuptial agreement and helped to front the cost of the Queen’s family’s wedding outfits.

He is quoted as saying: ‘When the wedding with Felipe came round, I dealt with the pre-nuptial agreement as you know, amongst other things.

‘I also had to pay Letizia’s family’s expenses because [former King] Juan Carlos refused to pay or even go halves with me. So with the help of my friend Felipe Varela, I dressed her mum, grandmother and her sisters. And with the help of Jaime Jason, her father, grandparents and a cousin.’

Jaime also makes the incredible claim that the Queen asked to see him the night before the wedding at the exclusive El Latigazo restaurant in Madrid – where she asked him to ‘never leave’ her.

He sensationally claimed: ‘When we met, she took hold of my hand and asked me why I had never asked her to marry me. Obviously I didn’t reply. I encouraged her as best I could. The last thing she said to me before we said goodbye to each other in that restaurant was a request: ‘Never leave me.”

Jaime – who says the Queen nicknamed him her ‘yogi pal’ – claims he still had a romantic relationship with Letizia even after the wedding in 2004. He also claims he has kept ‘photographs, videos, mobile phones’ and text messages as evidence.

In the book, Jaime sensationally claims that Letizia whispered that she loved him when they were lying in a hammock by a pool at her home following Princess Leonor’s birth.

Following this, Jaime alleges they ‘took steps forward with the goal of being free’ – which involved seeking legal advice and looking at properties in the US.

One of the most damaging claims Jaime reportedly makes is that Queen Letizia suggested they have a child together using a surrogate in Los Angeles.

Around this time, Jaime claims that he confronted Letizia after photos of her kissing Felipe appeared on the covers of Spanish magazines.

He claims the Queen told him: ‘I had to do it to protect us.’

Dice en el libro que Jaime del Burgo le contó que Felipe y Letizia tenían una “relación difícil” y le dijo: “Felipe me utiliza como un buen hombre porque se sentía incapaz de calmarla”.

Después de que Letizia supuestamente terminara la ‘relación’ en agosto de 2011, Jaime afirma que una amiga le dijo que se pusiera en contacto con la hermana de la Reina, Telma.

Al año siguiente, la pareja se comprometió tras solo dos meses de noviazgo. Sin embargo, la pareja se divorció en 2014 tras dos años de matrimonio.
