The concern about Jaime Anglada's health, the renowned Mallorcan artist, has caused great public interest. His hospitalization after an accident has kept his friends, family, and the public on edge. Among them, King Felipe stands out, as he has kept a close friendship with the singer for years.

When the news broke, all eyes turned to the king and whether he would travel to Mallorca to visit his friend. The accident coincided with the start of the royal family's vacation and Felipe, for now, isn't planning to travel to Mallorca. The real reason has come to light and the king has been completely singled out.

The reason why King Felipe isn't visiting Jaime Anglada in the hospital comes to light

When the news of the accident that keeps Jaime Anglada hospitalized spread, it became clear that King Felipe couldn't go see him. The incident took place just as the royal family's private vacation began and this has made things much more complicated. However, now the real reason why the king hasn't gone to see Anglada has come to light.

As has been revealed, the reason Felipe isn't visiting his friend is that Anglada is in the ICU. The singer, who suffered a serious accident in Palma on August 8, remains in an induced coma and under intensive medical supervision. This situation requires him to stay in the intensive care unit where visits are very limited.

For this reason, King Felipe has considered it appropriate to wait until Jaime's condition improves and he is moved to a regular room. "For now, a visit isn't expected because Jaime is in the ICU," they explained on the show D Corazón. "But it is very possible that when he is moved to a regular room, they will travel to Mallorca to visit him," they added.

For now, hospital protocol and the delicacy of the moment make the king's presence in the ICU unfeasible. From Greece, where the monarchs are resting, they have shown discreet but firm support. They have kept in constant contact with the family, especially with Pilar Aguiló, Jaime Anglada's partner.

They have also requested that any medical updates be communicated to them immediately. The hospitalization will continue to be prolonged. The doctors keep the artist in critical care and under close supervision.

Sources close to the royal family confirm King Felipe's constant attention, as he closely follows Anglada's health status. His condition, although serious, shows a slight improvement in clinical stability, which brings some relief to everyone around him.

However, King Felipe's visit will have to wait until he is moved to a regular room. At that time, visits will no longer be so limited and Anglada will be conscious and somewhat more recovered.

This isn't just a simple postponement. It is a necessary measure due to his condition and to preserve his recovery. The support from those around him, the discretion requested by the family, and the strict medical attention set the pace for this situation.

Although it isn't extremely serious, the hospital stay is expected to be long. For this reason, King Felipe will keep his schedule and, for now, won't interrupt his vacation. That doesn't mean he isn't keeping up with how his great friend is doing.

Both Felipe and Letizia are in constant contact with the musician's wife and children, showing them all their support from afar. They are keeping an eye on his progress and on the visit from the royals as soon as Anglada is moved to a regular room and they return from their vacation.
