The loss of María Teresa Campos still resonates in the media across half of Spain. The renowned journalist died last September, after more than 50 years of career working in radio and television, where she would end up being known as The Queen of the Mornings. Behind her she left the affection of a multitude of professional colleagues and members of her family, including her daughters Terelu Campos and Carmen Borrego.
“The first day you enter is to become aware that she is no longer here. It has given me peace to be with her things, with her smell. The things my mother loved most are with us. Having her things makes you closer to her even though she is so far away,” she commented in the program in which she collaborates, Let’s See, about entering her house for the first time to collect her belongings. However, another important matter occupies the sisters: inheritance.
Borrego has granted an exclusive interview to Lecturas in the house in Málaga that she and her sister have inherited, and that they must now manage once all the i’s have been clarified. In the first instance, the television collaborator has insisted on her intention to keep the mansion standing, although she has not specified how they will do it from now on: “We don’t want to sell it. Our interest is to preserve it and continue what my mother started.”
Likewise, he has insisted with his interviewer that the current relationship with Terelu is in perfect condition. Carmen assures that the death of her mother has brought them closer than ever, and that there has not been any type of problem when it came to distributing the assets: “Not a single argument. For my mother it is very important. She is not here, but from somewhere she sees it (…) It is one thing not to make a will and another is not to tell your daughters how you want things to be done.
Another issue that Lecturas wanted to question her about was the jewelry that María Teresa Campos collected, insisting that her mother gave her and her sister many things in life. Likewise, she wanted to make it clear to the magazine that she is still the same person as always, and that her inheritance will not change the way she acts: “I’m going to have to continue working all my life. The only difference is that I have a house and I didn’t before (…) I have never expected him to die to inherit, it seems very ugly to me.”
The journalist also highlighted having recovered some traditions with Terelu to strengthen the family in these complicated days. “On Three Kings Day we always went out to eat. But when my mother got sick, she started to stay at Terelu’s house. This year we decided to resume the tradition and ate out with Rocío and Fidel and my children,” she commented in another separate interview with Lecturas.
