Iñaki Urdangarin He went so far as to say that he asked his friends for money for coffee, and it was published that he survived on the subsidy as a prisoner on liberty of 463.21 euros a month. The former Infanta Cristina His sentence officially ended on April 9. Then came the divorce, the conditions of which are not clear, because nothing more has been revealed than what they wanted, although it is understood that the daughter of the King Emeritus is giving him a sum, not to mention the small fortune with which he was allegedly compensated for not writing and selling his memoirs in a book that could be lethal for the Bourbons.
With or without papers that can confirm the true economic situation of the former Duke of Palma, the facts show that neither he nor his family are starving. Ainhoa Armentia, fully integrated into the family of the former handball player, to the point of staying with his mother-in-law, to the disgust of Infanta Cristina when she saw in magazines and television programmes the scenes of the grandmother of her four children so close to the beautiful married woman who left her husband to steal his from the sister of Felipe VI.
But, love affairs and infidelities aside, the suspicion that Iñaki Urdangarin lives beyond his means grows if we stick to the facts, to what we see, because documents will not show us. The lifestyle he exhibits implies that he must receive certain injections of money through some means, not to mention that many people wonder where the money that has never appeared after embezzlement, prevarication, fraud, and influence peddling, crimes for which he was sentenced to more than six years in prison.
As an example of the standard of living of the former prisoner, here is a button: let us remember that in one of your pleasure tripsUrdangarin, who said he asked friends for money to have a coffee, went to Cambodia with his girlfriend to stay in a five-star hotel that cost 300 dollars a day. “He doesn’t give the 400 euros a month that they say he receives for that,” said Alessandro Lequio on the set.
Where do these people get so much money to live this way?
Now we learn that Irene, her only daughter, the youngest of the family, is going to London to a university that costs between 120,000 and 150,000 euros, depending on the course she chooses, at a rate of 30,000 euros a year, just for tuition, not counting the costs of maintenance, accommodation, or trips she makes. For example, to Geneva to see her mother, to Madrid to see the brother-in-law of Mayor Martínez-Almeida (her boyfriend), to her maternal grandmother, or to get a driver’s license (he failed on the first attempt). It also makes sense for her to travel to Vitoria, to see her grandmother and her father. And to Barcelona, her favourite city, the one where she was born, to visit her brother Miguel and watch him in a match. Not to mention her visits to Abu Dhabiwhere her mother and her aunt Doña Elena are now, a destination to which the princesses have traveled more than 60 times (that we know of) since the Grandfather Emeritus has been there (about 50,000 euros in plane tickets alone).
We don’t know exactly who will pay, but we do know that she is not receiving a scholarship and that someone will have to pay the fortune it costs to study at the centre where Irene has been enrolled, University College London (UCL), where the granddaughter of King Juan Carlos will coincide with Princess Alexia of the Netherlands. The second daughter of King Willem-Alexander coincided with Princess Leonor at UWC Atlantic College, in Wales, where they attended high school. We are now talking about one of the most renowned universities in the world, although not one of the most expensive.
