There is the legitimate concern, that the relationship the princess and I have is not good for the Spanish crown.

Let’s have a look at it.

First of all, I have from day one, without reflecting a lot on it, begun to think “what is good for the Spanish Crown” in our relationship. I am humbly aware, that how we do things, will reflect back on the Crown. So we have a massive responsibility towards the Crown.

This has to do with how we appear to the public, that we are honest in our relationship, that we are always serving and not taking.

There is the fact, that I have already had a marriage and two kids. This is something that I have been completely honest about from the beginning. There is no cheating here.

The issue here is really fidelity. Will the relationship Leonor and I have be based on fidelity and truth. There is this to say to that, that my ex is who she is. She did some choices that I have not been public about, and that is her choice.

From my point however, there has never been any case of lack of fidelity of any kind. At the contrary I am very old-fashioned in this regard.

Then how would I tackle the publicity around it? I would probably engage in things that I find important. Art, science, faith. Deepen my relationship with the Catholic church, try to support a positive development in arts and science.

I have a lot of experience with political processes, and I will apply it to our relationship in the sense, that I will strive to make it an example of a how you make a happy marriage.

I have already done a lot in this regard, and tried to support the princess to the best of my ability.

So, this is what I am going to do. Will it work? Well, we don´t know until it is public.

What we can do however, is to plan and do our best to make a positive appearance.

I am a journalist myself, I know how the press work. So I am not really worried, but I am not that familiar with the Spanish press, so there is something I need to learn there as well.

All in all, there is a good case for a happy marriage and a serious success for the Spanish crown.

We will have to see, but I am all in on supporting the Crown and strengthen it.

And again, this is not a bid to be king, I have enough of that already with Israel, so I have my hands full, to say the least.

G-d bless the will to make this a positive relation, all around. And, most importantly, make the princess happy 🙂
