Madrid (EFE).- King Juan Carlos has denied having had an out-of-wedlock relationship with the aristocrat Rosario Palacios, as has been pointed out in various media in recent days, and “consequently having had a daughter with her ”.
In statements to EFE, the king emeritus explains that “out of respect for the truth and honor” of the people affected, he is forced to deny this information “rejecting and condemning as false everything that has been published in relation to this invented matter.”
“I absolutely deny having had any love affair with Mrs. Rosario Palacios (RIP) and consequently having had a daughter with her,” the former head of state emphatically underlines.
Based on the revelations contained in the book “King Corp., the untold empire of Juan Carlos I”, by journalists José María Olmo and David Fernández, about a supposed secret daughter of King Juan Carlos, various media outlets have pointed out that it could be Alejandra de Rojas, daughter of the aristocrat Rosario Palacios, who died in 2016.
Juan Carlos denies being the father of a secret daughter
However, the king emeritus, from his residence in Abu Dhabi, categorically denies having had any love affair with Palacios and, consequently, being the father of his daughter Alejandra.
Sources from the Royal House already denied this Thursday to EFE having knowledge that King Juan Carlos had a secret daughter, as stated in various journalistic reports.
The publication of this book coincides with the second visit of the king emeritus to Spain since his departure to the United Arab Emirates more than years ago as a result of information about his business abroad.
Unlike his first visit last year, Don Juan Carlos has spent a few days in the Pontevedra town of Sanxenxo discreetly and without making any statements, although he was able to be photographed upon arrival at Vigo airport and together with the sailboat crew “Rascal”.
The entry King Juan Carlos I asks for “respect for the truth” and denies EFE having a secret daughter was first published in EFE Noticias.
