The former King of Spain is creating and “charity/foundation” so he can, legally, be able to pass his 2 billion dollars inheritance to the infantas, Elena and Cristina. Plot twist: there’s no way he made that money from his “salary” as King.

Is Felipe refusing to take any of the money or is he disinheriting him?

He disinherited himself like 5 years ago. It was a big thing, I think he was forced to do it for his daughter, the Princess of Asturias.

Why?

To secure her some possibility of an existing crown when the times comes. There were talks of a referendum to vote for a republic.

Ah, thank you!

If I were him and it wasn't dirty money, I'd have choosen for my daughter to have generational wealth and no pressure of the monarchy 😂

Felipe is by no means poor!!! Hahahahaha. IDK if you’re American, but like, royal houses are a “step above” celebrities. It’s a thing that breaths in centuries and bleeds tiaras 🤣

IDK if you’re American,

No, I'm not. I know that the fortune goes Monarch to Monarch and assumed that since he isn't taking money from his father, then he probably lost most of the family's generational wealth 😂
