King Juan Carlos I, caught: it's only a matter of time before Queen Sofía discovers everything

The emeritus has been photographed in an affectionate attitude with an unknown woman during his stay in Sanxenxo

King Juan Carlos I has once again found himself at the center of controversy after being caught in a compromising situation during his recent visit to Sanxenxo. A photograph that has been widely shared on social media shows the former monarch receiving a kiss on the cheek from an unknown woman. The identity of this mysterious companion remains anonymous, but the virality of the image suggests that it won't be long before Queen Sofía discovers everything.

The moment took place over the past weekend when the emeritus king returned once more to the Galician town to participate in the regattas he so enjoys. As usual, Juan Carlos I was accompanied by his closest circle, including his inseparable friend Pedro Campos. But what everyone is now asking is: who is this woman really, and what kind of relationship does she have with the former monarch?

King Juan Carlos I, caught in a compromising situation in Sanxenxo

Last Saturday, Juan Carlos I once again boarded the legendary Bribón, the sailboat with which he has competed for decades and which represents much more than a hobby for him. As on other occasions, the emeritus traveled to Sanxenxo accompanied by his friends.

The day was proceeding normally until a scene occurred that did not go unnoticed. An anonymous woman, apparently linked to the crew, approached Juan Carlos I with friendliness to briefly converse with him.

According to Europa Press, the emeritus replied naturally and kindly agreed to take a photo with her. What began as just another snapshot ended up becoming a mini photo session between the two, full of smiles, closeness, and a kiss on the cheek that has set off all the alarms.

The image quickly spread through social media and private groups, eventually reaching digital media. In a matter of hours, it became one of the most talked-about topics, especially due to the woman's affectionate gesture toward the emeritus.

So far, the woman who stars in the scene with Juan Carlos I has not been identified. Some sources suggest she might be part of the technical team linked to the regattas, although there is no official confirmation.

Others claim she might simply be a fan. However, her relaxed attitude, the familiarity with which she addressed the emeritus, and the kiss on the cheek suggest she was not just an admirer.

The possible reaction of Queen Sofía upon discovering everything

If there is someone particularly affected by this new controversy, it is undoubtedly Queen Sofía. Despite the separation they have maintained for years, the mother of Felipe VI has always kept an impeccable institutional profile, avoiding any comment on the emeritus's personal scandals.

However, the public exposure of these images represents a new blow for someone who has been the pillar of the Crown for decades. It is likely that Queen Sofía has not yet had access to these photographs, although given the media impact they are having, it won't be long before she discovers what happened.

Doña Sofía's reaction will probably not reach the public eye, keeping the line of dignity that has always characterized her. However, experts in the Royal Household point out that, despite the apparent indifference the queen shows toward her husband's escapades, each new episode takes an emotional toll.

The image of Juan Carlos I receiving displays of affection from another woman, as innocent as they may seem, can affect her. Especially because it inevitably revives the memory of the numerous romantic scandals that have marred their marriage over the decades.

In short, King Juan Carlos I's latest getaway to Sanxenxo has left an image that promises to have repercussions, especially for its potential impact on Queen Sofía. While questions about the woman of the kiss grow, the emeritus once again makes headlines for reasons unrelated to sailing. Will we see any reaction from Felipe VI's mother?
