the future of King Juan Carlos in the coming months he will visit England, not only to attend the coronation of Charles III, ceremony to which all the European Royal Houses are invited, but to compete in British lands in regattas, at the end of the summer.
The successor of Isabel II expect them to attend Felipe VI y Joybut also, as we have already advanced, it has the presence of the Emeritus and his wife Sofía from Greece, closely related to the Windsor.
The reunion of father and son would be the fourth in recent times. The first occurred in May 2022, when the emeritus visited Sanxenxo, three years after Don Juan Carlos settled outside of Spain. That trip to Galicia raised a great social and political controversy.
The second meeting of the current Monarch and his father took place at the funeral for the queen Isabel II in September, in London; and the most recent, at the funeral of Constantine of Greece, Doña Sofía’s brother, this January in Athens.
Although it is insisted that the Spanish government does not want Juan Carlos to return to Spain to stay and demands his public pardon for a more lasting return, nothing can prevent the Emeritus from traveling to London and accepting the British monarch’s invitation. There is another clue that places the father of Felipe VI in England months after the coronation. Of the August 31 to September 8 A regatta will be held in the port town of Cowes, on the Isle of Wight, south of Southampton. We have been able to verify that The Rascal, 6-meter sailboat with which he competes Don Juan Carlos is enrolled. In addition, sources from the ship’s crew confirm this to Informalia, and they add that the Emeritus could attend: “It would not be strange if the skipper took the helm,” they tell us. We already announced for the first time on February 21 that he was not expected at the Sanxenxo regattas this month of March but also that he has made his suit for sailing: “His uniform will be here waiting for him, although seeing him thinner than a year ago We have asked for his new measurements and it turns out that he has dropped a size”, they told us from Galicia.
Legal confrontation with Corinna and possible restraining order
In any case, there is something to take into account when considering the possible presence of the former monarch in the United Kingdom. His judicial confrontation with Corinna Larsen continues its course. And although he has been exonerated of some accusations by his ex-lover, the London High Court has yet to rule on the accusation of harassment and illegal surveillance allegedly suffered by Corinna, on dates after her abdication. If the high court ruled in favor of Larsen, and issued a restraining order against Juan Carlos I, it is possible that it would not be advisable for Don Juan Carlos to visit the British capital.
