Charles III's call to King Juan Carlos: Decides to tell him the whole truth

Kings, those figures that seem powerful and immutable, go through stages in their lives where personal decisions take on a new meaning. As the years and illnesses come, moments of reflection arise as something inevitable. Several members of the most renowned monarchies have experienced health problems that have prompted unexpected decisions.

Charles III and King Juan Carlos have shared multiple moments in their lives and now, they do so again. Amid discreet trips and intimate decisions, the emeritus has begun to experience moments of deep analysis and change.

King Juan Carlos in search of answers with Charles III

The emeritus King Juan Carlos I, at 87 years old and with increasingly fragile health, is in a stage of his life where certainties are few. Through his frequent trips to London, he has begun to take the final steps toward resolving certain aspects of his life that remain open. Close sources state that "Juan Carlos is worried; he wants to leave everything tied up, with Charles III and with his own personal history."

Although the emeritus's visits to London are officially protocol, those who know him better assure that they are not. In his journey, he seeks to solve personal and emotional issues. To the concern for his friend, Charles III, is added the desire to seek support for his own future decisions.

The monarchy facing an uncertain future

The relationships between both monarchies have always been close, but today they acquire a new sense of urgency. As Charles III struggles with the severity of his illness, he faces an increasingly limited horizon. His situation, suffering from advanced cancer, has raised alarms within the European royal houses.

Juan Carlos I, according to those close to him, is reflecting and worried about how his own end might be. Close sources point out that he has said that "he would like his funeral to have a state treatment." That option seems distant, since he is no longer an active part of the royalty and the corruption controversies have tarnished his image.

The health condition of Charles III and his friendship with Juan Carlos I drive uncertain decisions. Knowing that time is running short, the Spanish emeritus king wishes to close important cycles. The current situation of his friend's health accelerates his movements, wondering how he will be remembered.
