King Felipe of Spain was “crushed and destroyed” over his wife Queen Letizia’s alleged infidelity, according to a bombshell new book.
The Spanish royal family has been rocked by a slew of new claims by journalist Jaime Peñafiel, who has covered the royals for decades.
In his latest work titled “Letizia’s Silences” released in Spain Wednesday, Peñafiel, 91, claimed that the King of Spain was “aware that Letizia was cheating on him in real time” as her bodyguards have an obligation to report on her whereabouts.
The royal author alleges that bodyguards joined the Queen on a trip to New York back in 2011, during which she was accompanied by her rumored “lover” Jaime del Burgo.
Letizia, 51, reportedly dated del Burgo before meeting King Felipe in 2002.
“That day [in New York], she was accompanied by her faithful escorts, who, without a doubt, any, they would pass a report to the Ministry of the Interior or [the Palace of] Zarzuela,” Peñafiel wrote in his book, per Daily Mail.
He added that Felipe, 56, was left “crushed and destroyed” by Letizia’s alleged “betrayal,” and was “plunged into hell” and “wants to get out.”
In January, Peñafiel was let go from the Spanish newspaper El Mundo after a whopping 20-year tenure.
His sudden departure from the publication took place shortly after he made a series of damaging allegations about the royal family in his first book, titled “Letizia & I.”
In the book, released Jan. 30, Peñafiel alleged that Letizia was embroiled in an affair with del Burgo — a claim he doubled down on in his latest book.
Elsewhere, the veteran royal reporter labeled Letizia “cold, emotionally immature and passive aggressive.”
He also claimed that she is “hated” by Felipe’s family.
The Post has reached out to the Spanish royal family’s office for comment.
Felipe and Letizia tied the knot in a lavish ceremony on May 22, 2004.
They celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary last week.
To mark the special occasion, the couple released official family portraits last week.
In the photos, the pair posed alongside their two daughters Princesses Leonor and Sofia.
