Letizia from Spain he therefore gave up meeting Rania of Jordan, but the tour was not canceled. King Felipe will travel alone to Amman. A decision which was in tune with the times and which had fueled numerous rumors.
In fact, Donna Letizia’s package unleashed rumors which continue to speak of a crisis between her and Felipeespecially after the revelations of his ex-brother-in-law Jaime Del Burgo, who confessed to having had an affair with the queen which continued even after his marriage. Indeed, he went so far as to say that in this three-way relationship, the lover was Felipe, not him. Not only that, Del Brugo revealed that he and Letizia had plans to run away together, but their plans didn’t come to fruition and she ultimately left him. Insinuations, those of the ex-brother-in-law, which were reinforced by a scandalous book on the Queen.

Letizia from Spain, because she canceled her trip to Jordan
In reality, the Queen’s decision to stay in Spain did not depend on her but of the situation in the Middle Eastwith the worsening of the conflict. After Israel’s land invasion of Lebanon and the subsequent Iranian air attack, the situation in this region has become very complicated and very risky.
This forced the sovereigns to review their plans. The Palace decided to confirm the trip to Jordan, but only for Felipe. While for security reasonsgiven that her presence was not essential, Letizia remains in Madrid. In Spain, it is the government which is responsible for the sovereign’s trips abroad. That is why, in agreement with the Royal House, he decided to confirm Felipe’s visit but without Letizia, despite the high risk of flying to this area.
Additionally, the tour schedule has also been changed. While originally the sovereigns were supposed to stay three days in Jordan, it was decided to reduce the king’s stay to just two days, on October 5 and 6.
