King Juan Carlos returned to Abu Dhabi on Tuesday after almost a week back in Spain to attend the Sanxenxo regattas. During his stay in our country, he also passed through Vitoria, the city of Iñaki Urdangarin. On this occasion, he did not visit his son, King Felipe VI, in Zarzuela. Two days later, new information has come to light that once again puts the crown in the spotlight.
The journalists José María Olmo and David Fernández assure that the emeritus had another daughter after the Infanta Elena, the Infanta Cristina and Felipe VI, named Alejandra. They assure that all the members of Zarzuela know of its existence, including Doña Letizia’s husband. They delve into this information in the book King Corp. The untold empire of Juan Carlos I, which is published on May 8. It is not the first time that this possible daughter of the emeritus, born from a relationship between Doña Sofía’s husband and a well-known aristocrat in the Madrid jet set, has been discussed.
The journalists also explain in The confidential: “When Felipe VI was young, Juan Carlos I feared that he would meet his stepsister and the two would fall in love without knowing that they were family. When Alejandra was finally informed that her father was the King of Spain, a discreet rapprochement ensued. then head of state tried to compensate for the lack of official recognition with affection and other signs of generosity, although he never treated her like his other three children”.
Among the needs that don Juan Carlos covered, the economic ones. In fact, “the detection of any of these transfers would have automatically exposed his relationship with Alejandra. Something similar happened with her secret lovers, whom he also entertained with gifts and money.”
Don Juan Carlos’s circle of friends would also have known for a long time about the existence of this woman, as well as “the pinnacle of power” and “the elites”, who, according to the journalists, “signed a pact of silence to continue the fiction that the marriage of Juan Carlos I and Queen Sofía, on which Spanish democracy revolved, continued to be idyllic”.
Currently, Alejandra is married and is the mother of a son. It is not the first time that there has been speculation about a possible secret daughter of King Juan Carlos who matches these characteristics. Pilar Eyre, in February of this year, assured on Catalan television that this woman, whose identity she did not reveal, is “a well-known aristocrat and similar to Felipe and Cristina.” She then assured that she had just turned 55, the same age as Felipe VI, born on January 30, 1968.
The writer did not want to bring to light the name of the lady who would be the supposed unknown daughter of Queen Sofía’s husband, “because she has not made it public.” However, she did affirm that it is a “story that everyone in Madrid knows, because her mother is the first to proudly say that her daughter was from the king.”

This would be the fourth parentage attributed to him outside of his marriage. She is known claiming her as the daughter of Juan Carlos de Ingrid Sartiauthe 53-year-old Belgian whose lawsuit was filed by the Supreme Court and who appeared at the gates of Zarzuela, when the emeritus visited Sanxenxo, last May.
