King Emeritus Juan Carlos I accompanied Felipe VI and Letizia to a “brief family and private meeting” with Princess Leonor at the Naval School of Marín (Pontevedra) where the heiress completes her military training.
The kings traveled to Galicia to celebrate at a private dinner the 40th anniversary of the oath of the flag of promotion of the Royal Navy, Zarzuela sources reported.
Felipe VI and Letizia went to see their daughter, Princess Leonor, at the Naval Academy “and in this context, after learning this, King Juan Carlos asked to go see” his granddaughter, continued the same sources , who said the family reunion was “brief and private.” It turns out that the last time the Emeritus King and Princess Leonor saw each other was on October 31 last year at the Pardo Palace, on the occasion of the 18th birthday of the heir to the throne.
King Juan Carlos is in Pontevedra to compete with Bribón and defend the title in the European 6M class. Princess Leonor entered the Marín Naval School on August 29 after spending last year at the General Military Academy in Zaragoza.
The meeting takes place in the same week in which the emeritus was the protagonist of several news stories due to the publication of his memoirs in a French publishing house, under the name “Reconciliation”. He “looks back at the childhood of the emeritus sovereign and the great moments of his reign from his coronation” until his abdication in 2014. The work will be published in early 2025.
Furthermore, the Dutch press highlighted the first images of Juan Carlos kissing the artist Bárbara Rey, taken 30 years ago. The Dutch magazine accessed it through Ángel Cristo Jr, son of Bárbara Rey. ‘Private’ specifies that the images were taken by Christ himself and that they date back to 1994, when he was 13 years old.
In addition, last week the Republican Assembly of Vigo denounced the King Emeritus and the Princesses for tax crimes and money laundering. The accusation, addressed to the public prosecutor and the tax administration, considers that the creation of a foundation by Juan Carlos I to ensure the inheritance of his daughters demonstrates that the Bourbon has funds abroad which it has hidden in the public treasury after two years. regularizations
