Speaking to El Cierre Digitial, the 91-year-old author said Letizia was Jaime del Burgo’s “great love” and the couple’s relationship turned into a “great friendship” after she became romantically involved with King Felipe.
Local media reported that Jaime, the son of former politician Jaime Ignacio del Burgo, was planning to propose to Letizia when she announced she was meeting the future king in the gardens of the Ritz Hotel in Madrid.
After their engagement was announced in 2003, Letizia, who divorced her first husband in 1999, asked Jaime to be his best man at their wedding.
In the book, Letizia’s alleged ex-lover describes Felipe as a “kind-hearted man” and even says he had “great friendships” with members of the royal family. He told the author: “I told him about my problems, and he told (me) about his.”
However, Jaime claims he was still romantically involved with Letizia even after their 2004 wedding, and says he kept “photos, videos, cell phones” and text messages as evidence.
