As the saying goes, life, old age, illness and death are the common sentiment of people, and September 2, 2020, may not be very comfortable for the Spanish financial community and the Spanish royal family, because they have lost a good partner, a reliable friend.
On September 4, local time, King Felipe VI of Spain and Queen Letizia appeared in Madrid to attend the funeral of Jaime Carvajal, who died in a sudden accident two days ago.

He graduated in physics from Princeton University and has been closely related to the field of finance throughout his career. In addition to his role as General Manager of the Bank's Private Banking Division, he was a member of Lehman Brothers, a former chief of staff with World Bank President James Wolfenso and later founded Arcano as a partner and CEO.
Jaime and the Spanish royal family are also very close, his father Jaime, and his father-in-law Marquis Grión were once classmates of the former king Juan Carlos, even if Juan Carlos later became king, the Marquis of Grión also had copper mines with the Spanish royal family.

Jaime herself was intimately related to the Spanish royal family, marrying the daughter of the Marquis de Grion in 1998, with Princess Cristina of Spain, her then-boyfriend Utangarin and Felipe attending his wedding.
Jaime's sister Victoria is still Felipe's first love, the two met Santa Maria de los Rosales when they were 17 years old, but they were young and crazy, and the relationship ended like all campus love, and finally Victoria became Letizia's peer and a journalist.

Jaime and Queen Sophia have also been in the same frame many times, and it can be seen that even if they are not made into relatives, the relationship is still relatively close.
It is precisely because there are several layers of relationships between the financial world and the aristocracy and the royal family, and this funeral (revitalization ceremony) has also brought many familiar faces, such as The Bourbon-Two Sicillian Princess Maria, and her lawyer husband Pedro.
The pearl necklace and earrings worn by Mary, although they attended the funeral and were dressed more casually, there were not many "pearlescent treasures" that should be there.
Bulgarian Prince Constantine and his wife Maria also came, Maria's foot was injured and bandaged, a black and white outfit with sunglasses, cross-body a black Chanel bag, interpreting the elegance and competence of the lawyer, but contientine, who is also a financial person, can not hide his face full of sadness.
Queen Letizia and Felipe arrived by car at noon, both wearing masks, the king wearing suits and shoes, wearing black ties, to bid farewell to his former friends, and felipe, who had always been gentle and elegant, frowned this time, and it was very sad to see.
And Queen Letizia is "big guy dress", sandro black silk shirt, with black slim pants, feet on Carolina Herrera black suede high heels, really social my sister!
At the funeral there was also a comrade we are familiar with, Lorenzo, who became famous for designing wedding dresses for Princess Cristina of Spain, and later became the designer of Princess Letizia of Spain, and many of the dresses and suits worn by Ley hou in her early years were designed by him and tailored for Lygo.
Originally, there was no difference in scenery and a smooth road, but because of the second princess in the Noos case, the Spanish royal family, in order to avoid suspicion, no longer cooperated with him, and Laihou no longer wore the clothes he designed.

The last time the two were in the same frame was the 2016 Spanish Golden Art Award, I didn't expect to miss it, there was no change after Lai, Lorenzo has become an uncle who does not trim the edges.
The last time the two people in the same frame did not communicate, even in the big group photo is also separated by 18,000 miles, this time they actually met again at the funeral of their common friend, I wonder if the two can let go of the prejudices and concerns of the year, can they cooperate again?
