Queen Letizia and Infanta Cristina have become the center of attention after the latest development in their relationship has come to light. According to several media outlets, the sisters-in-law have finally managed to solve their differences, although they won't spend the holidays together in Marivent.
After years of distance and tense relations, everything suggests that the monarch and Felipe VI's sister have decided to set aside their differences. This gesture marks a turning point in their personal bond.
Although Queen Letizia always kept a good relationship with Infanta Cristina, everything changed as a result of the commotion that arose around Iñaki Urdangarin and the Nóos Case.
In an attempt to safeguard the public image of the Spanish royal family, both the monarch and King Felipe chose to distance the former Dukes of Palma from the institution. In fact, they even stripped them of their noble title.
During the following years, Infanta Cristina and the former handball player continued with their lives apart from the royal family. However, this controversy took a U-turn when Queen Letizia's sister-in-law decided to end her marriage.
From then on, slowly but steadily, Felipe VI and his sister have been rebuilding their relationship. In fact, last summer, they met for a few minutes at Marivent Palace. For many, this meeting has become the seal of their reconciliation.
Months later, Infanta Cristina and the monarch appeared together in a car before the media, thus confirming that their estrangement had come to an end. Now, with the holidays just around the corner, some very good news about Queen Letizia has come to light.

As every year, Queen Letizia and Felipe VI have decided to keep the destination of their private holidays secret. However, it is already known that the monarchs will spend a few days in Marivent.
However, although it is not expected that this year they will meet with Infanta Cristina at that palace, the best news has been confirmed: the reconciliation of the sisters-in-law.
In addition, according to several media outlets, Queen Letizia did agree to receive Infanta Cristina at the Zarzuela Palace. This private meeting represents a significant rapprochement between the two, after a long time without meeting in public.
This rapprochement comes after an especially delicate period for the former Duchess of Palma, following her painful separation from Iñaki Urdangarin and her withdrawal from the institutional agenda.
Despite her situation, Infanta Cristina is said to have expressed her desire to keep the family united, something that King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia are also said to have encouraged. However, although there is still distance between the two women, this first step opens the door to a more cordial coexistence.
