The infantas Elena and Cristina fly to Abu Dhabi to congratulate Juan Carlos I on his 85th birthday

Don Juan Carlos He turns 85 this Thursday, January 5. He blows out candles far from home, in Abu Dhabi, where he has lived since August 2020. A stage of his life marked by his invisibility and his absence from the public scene, which has been altered by Corinna Larsen. The German businesswoman launched her podcast just a few weeks ago in which she closely recounted the years of her courtship with Juan Carlos I, with those testimonies of “the bags full of money” she received and the fateful night on the Botswana safari. On his birthday, the emeritus would not be alone. Their daughters Cristina y Elena they would have traveled to the United Arab Emirates to be with him, according to the Digital Confidential.

Cristina and Elena support their father unwaveringly. His visit to Abu Dhabi would be the best gift for the former head of state. The portal publishes that Barajas would have received notifications to give free rein to the flight of the infantas.

It must be remembered that the last time Juan Carlos I set foot on Spanish soil was in May 2022. Then he received instructions from his son, Felipe VI, to avoid as much as possible a repetition of that Sanxenxo media circus.




The infantas have gone to the United Arab Emirates on several occasions. In one of them, at Easter 2022: they traveled with five of their children to give Don Juan Carlos a hug. Doña Sofía did not travel. The undated family photo was released on Good Friday. A viralized pose, which monopolized all the informative interest of Holy Week and which eclipsed the reappearance of Leonor in Spain. Doña Sofía, on this front, is not here. She is aligned with her son, Felipe VI, to whom she shows a solid and unwavering loyalty.
