S3 : Ep 53. Hey!, Come closer… Let’s Talk About the Spanish Royals

Okay… come a little closer. I have something to tell you.

Well… actually, you probably already know most of it. But somehow, when we talk about the Spanish Royal Family, there is always another little detail, another story, another “Did you hear about this?”

In this episode of Spanish Loops, we’re doing exactly that: sitting down for a good old-fashioned chat about the gossip, scandals, marriages, money, divorces and family dramas behind the Spanish Crown.

We’ll go back to the stories that had Spain talking... and then bring it right up to today.

There’s King Juan Carlos, the former king who now lives in Abu Dhabi, far away from Spain, surrounded by his own controversies… and, of course, the fascinating and sometimes complicated stories involving his family and the younger generations.

Then there are the Infantas, their glamorous weddings, their marriages, their very public divorces and everything that happened afterwards. Add a few money scandals, family disagreements, royal romances and plenty of things that were probably never meant to become public…

Well… you get the picture.

And what about Felipe VI, Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía? What does it mean to grow up knowing that almost everything your family does can become tomorrow’s headline?

So forget the official photographs for a moment.

Forget the ceremonies.

Come and sit with us.

Because this isn't really a history lesson.
