Thank you, Emeralda, for getting another thread going. They seem like a good couple with really nicely raised children.

Juan Carlos's arrogance and greed got the best of him. Poor Felipe. I hope his father's poor judgment doesn't hurt him too much.

The pro-monarchist newspaper ABC reported on Friday that Juan Carlos had travelled by private plane from Spain to the United Arab Emirates on Monday. Other media have said he is in the Dominican Republic or in Portugal. Officials there have said they have no knowledge of him arriving. www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/08/spain-king-juan-carlos-abu-dhabi-news-report-200807100852671.htmlSpain's former king, Juan Carlos, has been staying at Abu Dhabi's exclusive Emirates Palace Hotel since leaving Spain on board a private jet on Monday, newspaper ABC reported on Friday. Dogged by mounting corruption allegations, Carlos, 81, abruptly announced his decision to leave Spain on Monday but there has been no official confirmation of his whereabouts, setting off an international guessing game. The Spanish daily ABC said a private plane en route from Paris to Abu Dhabi stopped off in the northwestern Spanish city of Vigo to pick up Carlos, four security guards, and one other person on Monday morning.

www.vanityfair.com/style/2020/08/juan-carlos-spain-former-king-location-exileWhile Juan Carlos may have been spotted in Abu Dhabi, the government and the royal family are keeping mum on his whereabouts. Nearly two weeks ago, Juan Carlos I, the former King of Spain, sent his son, King Felipe VI, a cryptic letter saying that he was “moving away” from the country he reigned over for nearly 40 years, before his abdication in 2014. It was the next beat in a scandal over his luxurious lifestyle and reported offshore accounts that has followed the former monarch for nearly a decade. Since then, rumors about his whereabouts have proliferated, but no one really knows for sure where he is—and if they do, they’re not talking. At first, it was believed that he flew to the Dominican Republic, a country he had previously vacationed in, to stay at a resort owned by a friend. But a spokesperson for the country’s immigration service told the Daily Mail that he had not entered its borders since March 2020. Then, the newspaper El País reported that after he left the Zarzuela Palace, where he has lived for 58 years, he stayed at the home of a friend in Galicia before slipping across the border to Portugal. But this was reportedly only a temporary stay, his first stop before heading to the next location. Last weekend, the Spanish news agency NIUS obtained a photo that appeared to show Juan Carlos disembarking a plane in Abu Dhabi. The Spanish magazine Lecturas reported that he is staying at a swanky hotel in the city—and he’s not alone. “His faithful friend for the past 40 years is with him, the person who forgives everything, never fails him, accompanies him, comforts him,” they wrote, without mentioning a name.

^ Maybe it's because she tries to upstage Letizia a bit plus the fact that she is all over the infantas.

^ Maybe it's because she tries to upstage Letizia a bit plus the fact that she is all over the infantas. Its easy to see how well Leonor is being prepared for her future role, unlike the UK fakes that are hidden away most of the time www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1322635/queen-Letizia-daughter-princess-Leonor-future-queen-of-Spain-royal-news"But it seems the Queen has given royal fans a rare glimpse into what awaits her eldest daughter as she grows up. On a visit to San Roca in Mallorca earlier this week, Princess Leonor was asked by another teenager what she would like to do as an adult. Before Leonor had a chance to respond, Queen Letizia intervened to say her daughter will do “what she has to do, not what she wants to do”.

One feels for these young heirs - their life is mapped out for them from birth. I hope she is given her own free choices and chances at independence. Royal or not, it's the least she deserves.
