Froilán eats nougat with his grandfather Juan Carlos I so as not to leave him alone at Christmas

Christmas is family celebrations. And that is what Juan Carlos I has sought. There have been four Christmases alone and away from home, since 2020, the year in which he self-expatriated to the United Arab Emirates. This time it has been different. He already dropped it when he came to Madrid days ago for his daughter Elena's 60th birthday: “I wish we could celebrate more.” That's how it has been. The emeritus king has counted on Froilán to eat the nougat. Together, grandfather and grandson, they celebrated Christmas Eve in their retirement.

Elena's son did not want the former head of state to spend such a special night alone and stayed to accompany him. This is how he publishes it The Digital Confidential. After the first festive dates, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day arrive, two events that you will surely celebrate in the Emirates.

These dates coincide with the preparations for the birthday of Juan Carlos I, who blows out 86 candles on January 5. There is a lot of expectation for this family reunion, which picks up the baton of Elena's birthday meal in Madrid. Don Juan Carlos plans to reunite his daughters and his grandchildren Urdangarin and Marichalar in Abu Dhabi.

The infantas, who are very close to their father, would not miss this Bourbon conclave for anything. A great birthday party with every detail and in which she hopes to reunite with several former presidents of the Government and with his friend the Peruvian Nobel Prize winner Mario Vargas Llosa.

Like other years, the kings Felipe and Letizia They celebrated Christmas Eve with their daughtersLeonor and Sofia, at his residence in Zarzuela. They were accompanied by Paloma Rocasolanomother of the Queen, who attended with Marcus Brandler. On Christmas Day, he would most likely join the table Mrs. Sofiawho does not separate from his sister Irene. This Wednesday the 27th, both reappeared at a music evening in Madrid. Together they attended to the concert of the orchestra La Música del Reciclajean initiative promoted by Ecoembes, which took place at the CaixaBank Príncipe Pío Theater in Madrid.
