Jaime del Burgo, 53, who is based in London , sent shockwaves through the Spanish Royal Family last December when he claimed he was still romantically involved with the Queen following her 2004 wedding to King Felipe. The businessman - who dated the Queen when she was still a newsreader and was married to her sister Telma from 2012-2014 - has now claimed that he is still in contact with the royal in an interview with Argentinian newspaper Clarín .
He said: 'We have shared many years of our lives together. We have been a family. 'As I have always said, ours was not a relationship of lovers.
The lover would be him , in any case. I mean Felipe.' Pictured: King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain pictured at Zarzuela Palace on June 27, 2024 in .
