Just as Jaime Anglada's health condition continues to distress those around him, Queen Letizia has made an unexpected and controversial move. On August 8, a motorcycle accident left the close friend of the royals seriously injured. He is currently in the ICU, and there is still no sign of the royals.
Amid this distress, Queen Letizia is continuing with her vacation by doing something nobody expected at this time. The information has not gone unnoticed and has sparked a highly controversial debate.
Queen Letizia makes a controversial decision after what happened to Jaime Anglada
Jaime Anglada remains hospitalized in Mallorca as he waits to recover from the serious injuries he suffered in his accident. The news of what happened came just as Queen Letizia, accompanied by the rest of her family, began her private vacation. It was inevitable to wonder whether they would turn back to be with Anglada at this time, something that has not happened.
In fact, a controversial move has taken place that is far from what was desired: Queen Letizia has chosen to extend her vacation. While the family's close friend remains in the ICU, the royals have chosen to continue enjoying their vacation retreat, according to Monarquía Confidencial. The news has caused both surprise and controversy, because everyone expected the incident would lead to an immediate return to the country.
The private vacation in Greece began right after they completed their official agenda in Mallorca, where they attended events at Marivent and elsewhere. That same day, Jaime Anglada suffered a serious incident when he was run over while riding his motorcycle in Palma. After being urgently admitted to the ICU and remaining "stable within the seriousness," the royal family decided to keep their stay abroad.
Queen Letizia has been criticized by some for not canceling her trip, although she has actually been very alert to the singer. Now that she has not only not canceled it, but has extended it, this has led to further criticism of the queen.
Queen Letizia remains very alert to any change in Jaime Anglada's condition
Anglada has become the involuntary protagonist of the summer. A well-known singer-songwriter and friend of the royal family for decades, he has been treated as part of Queen Letizia's trusted circle. The queen not only keeps a close relationship with Jaime, but also with his wife, Pilar, and their two children.
Letizia has earnestly asked them to keep her informed of any updates regarding his health condition. With an immediate return to Spain completely ruled out, all they can do is learn from Anglada's family how he is progressing.
From afar, Queen Letizia has shown discretion and sensitivity. Critics point out that, in such an emergency, the first desired reaction was to interrupt the vacation. This has not been the case, and they have even decided to extend their stay in Greece since Anglada's health is not in danger.
Once their retreat ends and they are back, if Jaime has been moved to a regular room, Queen Letizia will go visit him. For now, this is not an option and it is expected that the singer's stay in the hospital will be extended. Therefore, since he is not conscious and needs time, Letizia doesn't consider it appropriate to return from Greece.
The decision to extend the vacation may have been a way to buy time. For some, this move doesn't reflect at all a lack of concern from Queen Letizia for Jaime Anglada. Rather, it shows a way to protect her personal circle and not amplify the drama of an already distressing situation.
