Several people close to Queen Sofía have once again broken their silence to confirm what was already an open secret about King Felipe. According to what they've confirmed, the emeritus queen plans to leave part of her inheritance to her son, despite the decision he made years ago regarding his father.
Some time after his ascension to the throne, the current sovereign of our country made an unexpected but necessary decision: to publicly renounce Juan Carlos I's inheritance.
This gesture was undoubtedly carried out to protect the image of the Crown at a particularly delicate moment for the institution. At that time, the scandals involving Queen Sofía's husband became one of the main topics in the media of our country.
For this reason, the only thing King Felipe and Doña Letizia wanted was to distance themselves as much as possible from the emeritus king and the controversies related to the origin of his millionaire fortune.
This way, Queen Sofía's son announced that he wouldn't accept any money or legacy coming from his father. However, this renunciation doesn't mean that he's completely out of the family fortune.
Queen Sofía's inner circle confirms that King Felipe is the main beneficiary of her inheritance
As has come to light, Queen Sofía possesses significant assets that could completely change the financial situation of her son, King Felipe, and his two granddaughters.
For decades, the emeritus queen has accumulated considerable wealth. Her assets include properties, investments, and accounts abroad.
However, although it doesn't come close to Juan Carlos's level, Queen Sofía's fortune is currently quite substantial. Unlike what he did with his father, King Felipe hasn't publicly renounced his mother's inheritance.
Queen Sofía's inner circle assures that the will names her son as her main beneficiary. That means that, when the time comes, a large part of his mother's assets will pass into his hands.
This gesture opens the door for him to receive a large amount of money in the future. This way, he could indirectly benefit from a fortune tied to the same circle he wanted to distance himself from.
Meanwhile, the emeritus queen is a partial heir to Juan Carlos's fortune. This means that part of the money he rejected in the past could end up in the hands of the current Spanish monarch. This scenario is considered ironic by many.
