It's Official: King Felipe Takes the Definitive Step with Juan Carlos I and Everything Changes

In light of the latest controversies surrounding Juan Carlos I, King Felipe has taken an important step that could change everything. It has been confirmed that neither he nor the rest of the members of the Royal Family want to be involved in this matter. So much so that they will not confirm or deny any issue.

On April 1, the emeritus's lawyer issued a statement announcing that he had taken legal action against Miguel Ángel Revilla. All after considering that the politician had used "injurious and defamatory expressions that harm his right to honor."

Among other things, they claim that, between 2022 and 2025, the former president of Cantabria used words like "corrupt" to refer to Juan Carlos I. A situation that has been much commented on and questioned, as it is the first time a monarch has made a decision like this.

Additionally, if that weren't enough, a few hours ago El Periódico confirmed that King Felipe's father has filed a new lawsuit against Corinna Larsen.

As expected, the complaint filed by Juan Carlos I against Miguel Ángel Revilla has caused a great stir both in the media and in the political sphere.

That's why Monarquía Confidencial has contacted official sources from the Royal Household to find out their stance on the matter. However, they have not received the response they expected.

"The decisions of King Juan Carlos belong to his private and personal sphere," was the only response they received from Zarzuela. With these words, they made it very clear that neither King Felipe nor the rest of his family want to be involved in this new scandal.

King Felipe Has Made an Important Decision Regarding Juan Carlos I: To Disassociate From His Latest Scandals

Sources close to the palace have confirmed to the aforementioned news portal that the legal actions initiated by Juan Carlos I will not imply a change in strategy. Additionally, they have made it clear that they will not set a precedent for the rest of the members of the Royal Family.

That's why, from Zarzuela, they have assured that both King Felipe and his family will keep the stance they have had so far. That is, not to comment, confirm, or deny information about the private lives of the members of the Royal Family.

"It is a matter between individuals, completely unrelated to the institution," the cited sources have confirmed. "The aim is to preserve the institutional neutrality of the Crown," they added.

However, King Felipe's disapproval of certain behaviors of his father is more than evident. So much so that the monarch has taken measures to distance himself from the scandals that have surrounded the figure of Juan Carlos I.

"Felipe VI also has to deal with this situation with Revilla, and it's not easy," these sources close to Zarzuela's environment have confessed to the cited media outlet.

In contrast, Infantas Elena and Cristina have maintained an attitude of unconditional support toward their father, which could accentuate tensions within the royal family.
