Queen Letizia of Spain Accused of Extramarital Affair by Former Brother-in-Law

Jaime del Burgo alleges affair during early years of royal marriage, claims surveillance by Spain's CNI secret service.

Jaime del Burgo, a longtime friend of Spain’s Queen Letizia and her former brother-in-law, has alleged that he had an affair with the Queen during the early years of her marriage to King Felipe.
Del Burgo shared an image of a visibly pregnant Letizia on social media, claiming it was sent to him during their alleged affair.
In a new book by royal reporter Jaime Peñafiel, Del Burgo claimed that Queen Letizia expressed her love for him at their royal residence, leading to him writing an unpublished play titled 'The Hammock'.
Del Burgo alleges that Spain’s CNI secret service placed him under surveillance for five years and even broke into his home in Switzerland due to his relationship with the Queen.
These claims come at a time when King Felipe and Queen Letizia appeared to be consolidating their reign after a series of scandals involving former King Juan Carlos.
