After the uncomfortable trip of King Emeritus Juan Carlos I to Sanxenxo and Vitoria, another controversy has erupted in the media that once again tarnishes his public image. On this occasion, the newspaper El Confidencial has published an editorial preview of the book King Corp. The Never Told Empire of Juan Carlos I (Libros del K.O.), by journalists José MarÃa Olmo and David Fernández, in which it is stated that the Emeritus he would have had a fourth daughter with a Spanish aristocrat, born in the late 1970s or early 1980s. Therefore, she is less than the infantas Elena and Cristina and King Felipe VI.
This is a recurring rumor that the king emeritus himself would have denied in statements to LOC, from El Mundo. “It is not true that he has a daughter” named Alejandra, assures the publication that has been Juan Carlos I’s blunt response when asked about the case. Sources close to Zarzuela have also flatly denied that, as the authors of the book say, the King and the rest of the family are aware of the case, which would confirm the inaccuracy of what was published.”
The digital medium reproduces the chapter of the book in which the journalists narrate the supposed relationship that the previous king of Spain would have maintained with a noblewoman somewhat older than him. Both shared friends and also a love of hunting. According to the journalists’ account, this relationship would have resulted in the birth of a girl named Alejandra that she never suspected that her real father was Juan Carlos I until she was older.
“When Felipe VI was young, Juan Carlos I feared that he would meet his stepsister and the two would fall in love without knowing that they were family. When Alejandra was finally informed that her father was the King of Spain, there was a discreet rapprochement, â€the journalists write in the controversial book. It was from that moment on that the Emeritus “tried to compensate for the lack of official recognition with affection and other signs of generosity, although he never treated her like her other three children of hers,” they add.
The authors justify this information based on three sources: a former lover and a businessman friend of Juan Carlos I and a former boyfriend of Alejandra herself. The supposed daughter, raised in a family settled by the Spanish nobility, would have kept the filial link secret and would never have claimed any type of recognition or succession right, according to the journalists.
In the editorial advance, it is also detailed that all the members of the Zarzuela are aware of the existence of this supposed secret daughter and that the emeritus King himself began to boast of her when her existence was normalized in his closest circle. “She said that she was a good girl, very intelligent and prepared. He seemed proud of her, although he didn’t give many details either.
According to Olmo and Fernández, Alejandra is dedicated to the world of fashion and has made inroads into the field of communication. She is currently married and has a son.
As for the mother of the alleged daughter of Juan Carlos I, she would be a deceased aristocrat and was also linked to the world of fashion and was even the muse of a renowned haute couture designer. In addition, she was a regular face of the tabloids, appearing in gossip magazines in which Alejandra’s alleged paternity was always silenced.
