On March 18, the regatta begins in Sanxenxo where the 6-meter boats compete, among which is the Bribón, in which until now the King Juan Carlos.
Days ago it was said that it was likely that the emeritus would return to Spain to take command of that beautiful old wooden sailboat and in which you can take the helm comfortably seated, an arrangement designed precisely for the king to haggle. And so it has been for some years, in which the Bribon was absolute champion in each competition and even managed to be number one in the world.
Informalia has consulted different sources about the reality of that visit, but they do not believe the former monarch’s return to the Real Club Naútico de Sanxenxo is possible, after his previous stay, in May 2022. That was his first visit to Spain after leaving Spain to reside in the United Arab Emirates from August 2020.
The reception of people, many delighted to see the king back in his country, caused great discomfort not only in the government of Pedro Sánchez but also in the Zarzuela palace. Although don Juan Carlos assured that he would return in September for an upcoming regatta, they did not allow it. However, the organizers of the competition are preparing these days the new nautical uniforms that the sailors will wear, including that of the king emeritus.
The Emeritus has lost weight to lose a size
“His uniform will be here waiting for him,” they tell Informalia, “although when we see him thinner than a year ago we have asked him for his new measurements and it turns out that he has dropped a size.”
Other expert sources on monarchical issues assure that at this time the king is going to stay in Abu Dhabi closely following his grandson’s landing in the Emirates Felipe de Marichalarfor whom his grandfather has found a good job in that country, to get him away from the life of partying and scandals that he had been leading in Spain.
“She feels very responsible for her grandson and has promised the infanta elena make sure that the boy fits in well in the first place where he is given an opportunity to work and settle down”, they assure us.
