• Monarchy Felipe VI and Don Juan Carlos agree by phone to meet in Madrid after the King's trip to Abu Dhabi

This Monday morning the journalist Carlos Herrera, an intimate of the King Father,

leaked that Don Juan Carlos will return to Spain

this coming weekend, where he will attend the 6m class Spanish championship test in Sanxenxo,

in which his sailboat competes Bribon

, patronized by his close friend, Pedro Campos.

The news comes just one day after

Don Felipe made a lightning trip to Abu Dhabi

to present his condolences and attend the funeral services of Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed, who died last Friday.

Although he did not meet his father, who has lived there since August 2020,

Zarzuela confirmed that she spoke to him by phone

from the plane and they agreed to meet in Madrid when the monarch returns.

Although it has been published that the date of his return will be Saturday, May 21, sources close to him have revealed to LOC that Don Juan Carlos is expected to arrive in Spain

between Thursday and Friday of this week

, and travel directly to Xanxexo, where in principle it is scheduled to remain until Monday.

He will stay in the Campos chalet

, as is his custom, which enables the upper floor so that the monarch is comfortable.

It seems that the Casa del Rey is reluctant to the wish of the King Father to

spend the night in Zarzuela,

So if in the end he cannot stay in what has been his home for more than 60 years, after meeting his son and, predictably, Doña Sofia and part of her family, he will return to Abu Dhabi immediately.

Otherwise she will prolong her visit for a few more days.

It is his wish that his stay in Sanxenxo be discreet and low-profile, so

there is no scheduled public event

and it is not even confirmed that he will get on the Bribon to haggle, but that he drop by the yacht club or eat or dine in a restaurant in this town with your sailing companions.

It is also very likely, according to the aforementioned sources, that the Infanta Elena will come to receive him in the town of Pontevedra with some of her grandchildren and

the Infanta Cristina may even come from Geneva

.

It must be remembered that this Easter her daughters and most of her grandchildren visited him in Abu Dhabi.

Almost coinciding with the return of the emeritus, on the morning of this Tuesday, April 17, Carlos Espinosa de los Monteros, who was commissioner of the Spain brand, and former defense minister Eduardo Serra, with journalist Angel Expósito as moderator, will present to the press the tool

"a royal legacy"

, elaborated with artificial intelligence, which collects all the data and figures of the King Father's trips as the first ambassador, especially in the economic field.

It is part of the campaign that Concordia Real has launched to

value the achievements of the reign

of Don Juan Carlos under the slogan "Do you remember when no one gave a penny for us? It began last Saturday, May 14, with the placement of a large canvas on the façade of Calle Alcalá 25,
