The impact of family controversies

The lives of Infanta Cristina's children have been shaped by circumstances that went far beyond the strictly personal. Their parents' separation, as well as Iñaki Urdangarin's legal troubles, have placed the family at the center of media interest.

Despite these difficulties, the siblings have managed to keep united despite the distance between them. The siblings have developed a close relationship that has become more evident in recent months, when both have had to face challenging times.
