Juan Carlos I paralyzes the publication of his biography, signed by Carlos Herrera

Charles Herrera, the last biographer of Juan Carlos I, He confessed this week during an event of the Cope chain held at the Palace hotel in Madrid that he has the book ready but that the King Emeritus stops it, for the time being, so as not to make more of a mess. Herrera will go to see him in the Emirates before Christmas. Let’s see if he convinces him, according to Maria Eugenia Yague in The world.

The Andalusian already has his new work ready, a book in which he portrays all the stages of the life of the emeritus king, from his early years when, for example, he was interned at the Swiss school Le Rosey, until today. He also addresses his stage in Abu Dhabi where Don Juan Carlos currently lives.

However, the publication of the book may be a delicate matter for giving prominence to the father of Felipe VI. Let us remember the media commotion that was organized when the previous monarch was in Galicia and Madrid months ago, not to mention his presence at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II together with her son and her daughter-in-law.

Carlos Herrera and the King Emeritus have been friends for many years, as evidenced by the fact that Don Juan Carlos sent an express greeting to Carlos Herrera for the first program he broadcast from Cadena COPE. Since the monarch left for Abu Dhabi, in August 2020, the morning presenter has met in Abu Dhabi with Don Juan Carlos on several occasions. On one of his trips, the journalist was accompanied by the former director of the CNI, Félix Sanz Roldán. Carlos Herrera then gave several news about the state of health and the mood of Juan Carlos I.

The biography that Herrera has already finished began to take shape more than two years ago, after the journalist signed a contract with Penguin Random House, one of the most important publishing groups in the world.

Last spring, publisher Debate, another brand of Penguin Random House, published My fallen king the biography of Laurence Debray. The French writer includes references to the current life of the king in Abu Dhabi, where she visited him last year.
