I have to say the entire Juan Carlos / Corinna Larsen relationship really turned so toxic and Don Juan Carlos came out the worst for it all.
Yes I saw that on SKY TV last year ,I felt very sorry for queen Sofia and her children after watching it.I have just watched the documentary “Juan Carlos The Downfall of the King” … a four part series … on Australian tv.
I found it fascinating.
I watched all four episodes straight through. Too much detail to share here, and most of it from Corinna Larsen herself, so her side of things of course … but I would recommend this show to anyone interested in what happened if you get the chance to watch it at some stage.
I found so many things in it surprising An Ard Ri … such a different world to what most people would consider “normal”.Yes I saw that on SKY TV last year ,I felt very sorry for queen Sofia and her children after watching it.
The utter humiliation that queen Sofia endured and always keeping a brave smile for the public.
And the claims by one insider that Sofia left him and went to live with her mother and sister after discovering JC in the act at Zarzuela.I found so many things in it surprising An Ard Ri … such a different world to what most people would consider “normal”.
It struck me how Sofia was described to “ have already lost” by the time she returned.And the claims by one insider that Sofia left him and went to live with her mother and sister after discovering JC in the act at Zarzuela.
That story is a manipulation that the press has invented in recent years, after it was discovered that Juan Carlos had commissioned Corinna to organize the honeymoon.Even Corinna organising Felipe and Letizia’s secret, very expensive honeymoon, after the cheap honeymoon the public was told about because of Spain’s economic troubles at the time.
Thanks lula.That story is a manipulation that the press has invented in recent years, after it was discovered that Juan Carlos had commissioned Corinna to organize the honeymoon.
The first thing, at that time there was no economic crisis in Spain, it was 2004. The economic crisis was when Juan Carlos traveled to Botswana in 2012.
It has always been known and was published in the press at the time, that the honeymoon of the then Prince and Princess of Asturias had 3 stages. After the wedding they spent 3 days in Spain visiting several places... the reason is that they had to travel the weekend following their wedding to the wedding of the Crown Prince of Jordan. Jordan was the second stage of the honeymoon, there they attended the wedding celebrations and visited Petra, and the press was present at all of those events. From Jordan they embarked on a private honeymoon, about which no information was given to the press, but there was speculation about destinations (which Corinna leaked many years later).
Contrary to what those who spread hoaxes against the Monarchy say, it was always known how the honeymoon developed. They also launch the hoax that it lasted 3 months, when the wedding was on May 22 and on June 23 they were in Madrid at the king's name day events.
She is also a tremendously ambitious, narcissistic and vengeful woman, who, for example, collaborated with a corrupt Spanish police officer by leaking many things and creating interested or false information. A woman who lives very well thanks to the millions she got from Juan Carlos and his friends.Corina Larsen comes across as a very smart woman, despite the comments about her from her ex-husband.
The one I saw last night Marengo was titled “Juan Carlos The Downfall of the King”.Is this the same documentary is on HBO Max? It is called ´saving the king´ there, but I still have to watch it.
If Elena and Cristina are already covered by their father’s secret fortune, I suppose it is fair that jewelry owned by Queen Sofia and King Juan Carlos should be left entirely to King Felipe and stay then with the main line.That could cause trouble for the Infanta Elena and Infanta Cristina in the future,I think it would best to follow their brothers precedence regarding the ex monarchs inheritance!
They aren’t going to reign in Spain anytime soon and they aren’t working royals anymore after their own scandals with their respective husbands so it won’t matter in the long term.That could cause trouble for the Infanta Elena and Infanta Cristina in the future,I think it would best to follow their brothers precedence regarding the ex monarchs inheritance!
The Infanta's are private people now, and have no role in the public life of Spain. I don't think their inheritance from their father should cause them any issues.That could cause trouble for the Infanta Elena and Infanta Cristina in the future,I think it would best to follow their brothers precedence regarding the ex monarchs inheritance!
Makes sense. The main line is also the branch of the family that will have the most use for the jewellery. I am sure certain items of jewellery personal to Queen Sofia can be bequeathed to her daughters and their children.If Elena and Cristina are already covered by their father’s secret fortune, I suppose it is fair that jewelry owned by Queen Sofia and King Juan Carlos should be left entirely to King Felipe and stay then with the main line.
I believe that the tiaras and other more important jewels should be left for the main line. Elena and Cristina should be left with other lesser-known jewels of Queen Sofia.Makes sense. The main line is also the branch of the family that will have the most use for the jewellery. I am sure certain items of jewellery personal to Queen Sofia can be bequeathed to her daughters and their children.
Felipe had to give up his inheritance because the money JC will leave behind has a questionable/dirty/criminal background and would have damaged the image of the crown.The Infanta's are private people now, and have no role in the public life of Spain. I don't think their inheritance from their father should cause them any issues.
@lula I'm checking the link you posted and found another type of news I didn't expect on that article, that Juan Carlos created a trust to give the inheritance, rejected by king Felipe, to Felipe's sisters:King Felipe, Queen Letizia and King Juan Carlos attend the funeral in Madrid of Alejandro Fernández de Araoz y Marañón, husband of Isabel Gómez-Acebo and Duke of Estrada, sister-in-law of Infanta Pilar.

That's true but time will tell but I have a bad feeling about the inheritance of the former Monarch!The Infanta's are private people now, and have no role in the public life of Spain. I don't think their inheritance from their father should cause them any issues.
