New episode of the German princess sound serial corinna and the kingin which he recounts the plans he had Juan Carlos I to move to London to spend more time with her. He also talks about that fictitious Christmas they spent together, the famous 65 million that the emeritus gave him and a conversation he had with Felix Sanz Roldan.
This testimony from the German comes when Juan Carlos I has accepted to be sanctioned by the Treasury after admitting that he had to declare the “gifts” of various businessmen who paid for his hunts, as published The world. With the agreement reached with the Tax Agency, the emeritus assumes the blame for him and will have to pay the amounts requested by the tax authorities, but closes the inspection.
Corinna is moving forward with her podcast. In this chapter she recounts her meeting with the then director of the CNI, Félix Sanz Roldán, in the British capital. In that meeting, he reveals that it was he who leaked to the press the famous hunt in Bostuana, where the king broke his hip as a result of a fall. Apparently, according to her account, Sanz Roldán made that decision to prevent the name of the German from jumping into the media as “the lover” of the king. The head of the CNI also urged Corinna to keep the monarch “motivated” “to continue doing his work.” After the Botswana episode in 2012, the king’s health took a downturn and it was feared that at some point he would decide to “throw in the towel.”
The 65 million. The money that the German princess received in her Mirabaud bank account, from Juan Carlos I, has become the cornerstone of the relationship they maintained. Especially because of the origin and reason for that income. The German alleges that her emeritus gave it to her as a “donation” as an inheritance for her and her son. Make it clear that it was not a compensatory amount either for her relationship or to keep her quiet. It wasn’t “a bribe,” she says on the podcast. The 65 million ended up leaving Switzerland destined for an account in Nassau (Bahamas). Two years later, and after the abdication of 2014, Juan Carlos I claims her money.
The fictional Christmas of 2013. King Juan Carlos clung to Corinna, according to her account. So much so that he admits to her that he wants to spend the Christmas holidays with her. She leaves for London and there a family celebration with Christmas carols and nougat is staged for him. The Military Easter of 2014 arrived. It was his last Easter as head of state. Some loud hesitations from the monarch in his speech marked the beginning of his final stretch. The documentary of Ana Pastor The Bourbons and the royal family He points out that Juan Carlos had just landed that Three Kings Day and that he had been “partying” the day before in the British capital.
In his efforts to maintain his relationship with Corinna, according to the protagonist of the podcast, Juan Carlos I began to travel frequently to London, where she lived. He slipped the monarch his plans to live together, halfway between the metropolis and the Pardo palace. For this he sought a palatial building in the Belgravia neighborhood, a step away from the emblematic Hyde Park and near Buckingham Palace. Belgravia is very recognizable as it is home to embassies, luxury hotels and semi-detached mansions. The estate, valued at 57 million euros, would have been made available to him by the Sultan of Oman (versiona Corinna). It would be Sultan Qabús bin Said, who died at the age of 79 in 2020.
The princess recounts that the king wanted the decoration to be “identical”: “I want it to be like your apartment in London.” A whim that worried her because she saw a drift of “obsession” in the king. Given these plans of the former monarch to settle in the capital of the United Kingdom, her former lover leaves her personal stamp on the podcast: “God, don’t move here.”
