Criticism of Don Juan Carlos and the cake with his personal coat of arms: “It is an overexposure and an indiscretion”

These are the wishes of the emeritus: to stay overnight in the palace, in Madrid. Of his continuous visits to Spain since August 2020, he has never spent the night in Madrid until now, much less in the Palacio de la Zarzuela. That red line could be left behind if Don Juan Carlos fulfills that dream of normalizing his comings and goings and spending the night in the capital, with his family.. The magazine publishes it Hola, which places these plans of the former head of state as a purpose for this newly released 2024.

The trips to homeland, and their frequency, are part of an agreement between the two kings. Don Juan Carlos can come whenever he wants as long as he maintains a low profile and moves governed by discretion. This detail, that of discretion, is what we have not seen in the photo album of Don Juan Carlos's 86th birthday in Abu Dhabi that he publishes Hola. Above all, attention has been drawn to the personal banner of the emeritus on the three-tier fondant cake. “The king's script is a very significant thing for you to put on a cake”Mariangel Alcázar has sentenced in We'll see.

A debate has been opened in the program about the message that the magazine cover means. Whether the emeritus wanted to provoke or not with those photos. “It's not a provocation, but it seems like an indiscretion to me,” has settled the journalist, who has been against this exhibition of the event because it does not help the normalization of family issues: “When it is exhibited there is an overexposure of that party (…). It is evident that in the Royal Family there are two blocks”. And she added: “One thing is the photo of the King with his daughters… It shocks me to see a photo of the King with the script on the cake,” she insists. “It was not the best choice.” Regarding the absence of Felipe VI and Doña Letizia at the emeritus's birthday, she commented: “I don't care if they had the Military Easter or the Flowery Easter, they weren't going to go.”
