Carla Vigo, Queen Letizia’s niece, revealed unpublished details of what goes on behind the doors of the mysterious Zarzuela Palace, where only what the royal house wants to reveal is known.

The confessions of the young 23-year-old join the recent controversy that was triggered by the statements of the former brother-in-law of the queen, Jaime del Burgo, who assured that he maintained a love relationship with her even after her marriage to Felipe.

Letizia “had an affair with her future brother-in-law while she was married to King Felipe”, announced the British press, which joins the “Pashma photo” scandal

“When I was little I often went to Zarzuela. It is a normal house, although it may look strange. It’s like going to your aunt’s house, same thing. I played Barbies with my relatives, like any child, he said in statements reported by Semana.

Letizia and pashmina scandal: They revealed the alleged selfie of the pregnant queen and a “loving message” to her brother-in-law, the husband of Telma Ortiz: Who is Jaime del Burgo?

“I don’t know why they say the opposite (their allegedly bad relationship). I talk to my relatives, but between one being in Wales and the other at the military academy, you don’t have much time either, but I have a relationship with them. If I want, I will send them a WhatsApp message and they will reply,” he commented.

What happens inside Zarzuela Palace

Leonora’s first wife assured that visits to the Zarzuela Palace had something special because of the protocol that had to be followed. He discovered that you can go by vehicle and follow the staff’s instructions from there.

“You only have to hand over your identity card upon entry. They give you a sign, it depends on the color, and if you are an important person in the government, for example, they give you a sign of a different color than the one given to families. A small sign goes in the car so the guards can see it. They don’t hang it on you, or anything. Then I go to my aunt’s house like you can do,” he said, according to Week.

Points of interest in Zarzuela Palace

Among the interesting things he experienced in the palace, Vigo highlighted the etiquette observed during meals.

“In Zarzuela you can see unusual things. The most interesting thing is about the cutlery in the movies, which is true, there is a lot of cutlery and you have to know what it is for. They teach you how to use them, you have to go from right to left. “My aunt is very strict with her food, she eats rarely, without fat,” he commented.

The pressure of fame

Carla admitted that she gets along well with members of the royal family, but that at some point in her life she felt overcome by “the weight of being Queen Letizia’s niece”.

“When I was younger. There was a time when (journalists) didn’t persecute me, now that I go out more, I often say ‘how annoying I am,'” he admitted.

What he said about Jaime del Burgo

During the program, Carla gave her opinion on the statements made by Jaime del Burgo, the ex-husband of her aunt Thelma, in which he revealed the details of his alleged relationship with the monarch.

In addition, he admitted that Burgo was on good terms with the queen, but that he did not know the degree of their closeness.
