I really think one of the saddest things about it is that the king was never able to use his brother's name for any kind of memorial or charity that might have sincerely helped others and eased his own burdens a bit, even when he was legally immune.
I still wish he would, though I'm not sure it's occurred to him.
Perhaps Felipe will remember his uncle after JC dies.
This accident came as a great shock to the royal family and especially to King Juan Carlos.
I think the king rarely spoke publicly about this matter, I think he never fully recovered from this event.
The Count of Barcelona is said to have long blamed Juan Carlos for his brother's death and was slow to forgive him. The Countess of Barcelona also never fully recovered from the death of her son, as is normal.
I don't think Juan Carlos would ever feel comfortable doing any kind of memorial with his brother's name, because that's a very sensitive subject for him.
