In the absence of the traditional pose of the
Royal Family
in front
of Palma Cathedral on
Easter Sunday, the
King's Family
(that is, the Infantas Elena and Cristina and their children) have gone to
Abu Dhabi
to spend
Holy Week
with the
King Juan Carlos
and have allowed themselves to be photographed in an image distributed by Europa Press.
King
Juan Carlos
and his daughters
Elena
and
Cristina
appear surrounded by their granddaughters Victoria Federica and Irene and three of his grandchildren
Juan Valentín
,
Pablo Nicolás
and
Irene
.
The most affectionate of her with her grandfather seems to be Victoria Federica who hugs Don
Juan Carlos
and who in a recent interview confessed how much she missed him.
The image somehow wants to convey a sense of family normality after two complicated years.
In August 2020,
King Juan Carlos
decided to go to the emirates due to the investigation that was opened due to his relationship with the Lucum Foundation and the Zagatka Foundation and for the payment of trips and that has finally been filed after the king regularized his situation. tax paying eight million euros in two installments.
Five months before his departure, in March 2020,
King Felipe
had made a statement in which he renounced his father's inheritance, which some interpreted as the breakup of the family.
Since then, much has been speculated about the (cold) relationship between father and son and it has also been said that they hardly spoke, perhaps a gesture by Zarzuela to stay out of the investigations.
A month ago, when these were archived, speculation began about the possible return of
King Juan Carlos
.
However, a statement from King Felipe's father in which he apologized made it clear that he would continue to reside in
Abu Dhabi
and that if he returned to Spain, it would be on private visits and he would not even reside in
Zarzuela
, his home for 50 years.
Pedro Sánchez responded to the statement with "What we have been learning is not acceptable" (referring to the revelations of the investigation filed by the Prosecutor's Office) which once again demonstrated the scant consideration of the socialist executive for the figure of
Juan Carlos I
and their work at the forefront to make the Transition possible.
So many have interpreted the photo as the first sign of the imminent return to Spain of
King Juan Carlos
since what it is about is normalizing the family situation before a private trip to Spain.
However, a week after the filing of the cases in Spain, it was also learned that the United Kingdom would continue to process
Corinna Larsen
's lawsuit for harassment after denying the immunity of King Juan Carlos.
However, the experts consulted already said that she has little travel.
