Infanta Elena has been caught off guard by a situation she never expected to experience in the middle of summer, directly related to her son Froilán. What happened in Ibiza has set off all the alarms and has called into question the desire of Felipe VI's sister to keep her eldest son out of the spotlight.
The young man has once again made headlines in Spain, even though he usually lives in Abu Dhabi with his grandfather, King Juan Carlos. After several weeks of rest on the peninsula, an unexpected episode has changed the course of his vacation and has put Infanta Elena in a very delicate position. What really happened?
Infanta Elena receives a hard blow over Froilán's closeness with an influencer
Froilán has spent several months alternating his life between Abu Dhabi and Spain. There, in the Emirates, he tries to keep a low profile, focusing on his studies in Marketing and Advertising and on a job at a multinational company. A quiet routine that, in theory, matched his mother's desire to keep him away from the media spotlight that follows him so much in Madrid.
However, every return to Spain puts him back at the center of controversy. His getaways to Marbella, his time in Madrid, and now his days in Ibiza have ended up generating headlines that worry Infanta Elena. Although she longs for her son to go unnoticed, his outgoing personality and his personal relationships always bring him back to the front page.
Froilán's desired rest in Ibiza has been overshadowed by some images that have sparked much discussion. In them, Juan Carlos I's eldest grandson appears with Miri Pérez-Cabrero, a culinary influencer known for her appearances on MasterChef and Supervivientes.
The photographs, taken at a restaurant on the island, show both of them sharing a table in a relaxed atmosphere full of rapport. Hugs, smiles, and knowing glances were captured by the cameras, hinting at a closeness that has sparked rumors of a possible romance.
Infanta Elena's concern grows over the meeting between Froilán and Miri Pérez-Cabrero
For Infanta Elena, this episode is a real blow. Not so much because of the relationship, but because a romantic link with someone as media-exposed as Miri breaks with the discretion she wants for her son's life.
This isn't the first time Froilán has been involved in situations that make his mother uncomfortable. In previous summers, Ibiza was already the scene of controversies: from incidents in nightclubs to arguments with friends or run-ins with ex-girlfriends. There was even an episode in which a young woman accused him of an arrogant attitude.
This time, the controversy doesn't arise from a confrontation, but from a close gesture that has quickly been interpreted as a "summer love." An image that, for the young man, might seem innocent, but in the media ecosystem in which he lives, takes on another dimension.
Infanta Elena, who has always kept a low profile regarding personal matters, can't help but feel hurt by this new public exposure of her son. It's not just about a possible romance, but about the certainty that, with every step, her son's life remains far from the discretion she so desires. If a relationship is confirmed, there's no doubt the story will keep making headlines in the coming months.
