The "temporary cessation of cohabitation" announced by Casa Real between Elena and Jaime de Marichalar caused quite a stir at the time. It was news that drew attention because it involved a very well-known couple closely connected to the royal family. Years after their separation, both attended an official event together that did not go unnoticed by anyone.
This reunion became the main topic of the show La Roca, broadcast on La Sexta last Sunday. The contributors discussed what their current relationship is like. Everyone wondered whether they keep a cordial relationship or if they barely speak to each other since their separation.
Jaime de Marichalar and Infanta Elena, very distant
Juan del Val believed that it would be normal for them to get along, especially because they have two children together. However, he clarified that he did not have first-hand information about what their relationship is really like. His point of view suggested that, out of respect and for their children, they should keep a civilized relationship.

Meanwhile, Pilar Vidal, a journalist specializing in celebrity news, showed a different stance. She explained that they were not even seated at the same table during the event. She also added that they probably did not even brush against each other, which would indicate that the relationship is very cold.
Pilar Vidal also pointed out that it is public knowledge that there are problems between them that have not been easily solved. According to her, that distance and lack of communication are obvious to those who know the context. This adds weight to the idea that their current relationship is quite distant.
An inevitable ending
The journalist recalled that the breakup between Elena and Jaime was very tough at the time. She also commented that the accident Jaime had was related to certain personal habits that Infanta Elena could not tolerate. This led to the relationship ending definitively and with no possibility of reconciliation.
For Vidal, that divorce was a total and definitive breakup. She believes that the relationship could never have ended well due to the differences and problems they carried. The contributor emphasized that between Felipe VI's older sister and her ex-husband, only the memory of what they once were remains.
She also stated that this relationship should never have started. From her point of view, it was a wrong decision that ended in an inevitable outcome. The reality is that, despite both their fame and social status, their story ended like many others, with a firm separation.
There is no doubt that the separation between Elena and Jaime continues to attract public attention. The details and their recent reunion fuel curiosity and debate.
