It's official: the royal family confirms King Juan Carlos's unexpected decision

The Royal Family has learned a fact that has caused a real earthquake in Zarzuela. Yes, King Juan Carlos has made a firm and well-considered decision that has left no one indifferent. The emeritus has chosen to move forward with his legal battle against Miguel Ángel Revilla.

The conflict between the former monarch and the former Cantabrian president is not new, but it has now reached a higher level. After failing to reach an agreement in the conciliation act, Juan Carlos has given the green light to his lawyer, Guadalupe Sánchez, to continue with the legal proceedings. The objective is clear: to sue the politician for slander and defamation.

King Juan Carlos moves forward, to the surprise of the Royal Family

The news about King Juan Carlos's determination has been received with surprise within the Royal Family's closest circle. According to Monarquía Confidencial, not all members agree with this determination. Many consider this step risky, especially because of the consequences it may have for the Crown's image.

The emeritus, however, doesn't seem willing to back down. Although he knows this move may reopen uncomfortable debates about his figure, his fortune, and his past, he wants to prove that he still has complete control over his life. He has said it loud and clear to those around him: he will not allow anyone to decide for him.

The lawsuit, which will now be formalized, demands €50,000 from Revilla as compensation for the damage to his honor and reputation. The root of the conflict lies in some public statements made by the Cantabrian politician, where he spoke of alleged irregularities committed by the monarch. He believes these statements have crossed all limits.

This judicial step has puzzled Zarzuela. Some consider it an unnecessary way to bring focus back to a stage that the institution prefers to keep in a discreet background. However, the husband of Queen Sofía seems determined to clear his name, no matter the cost.

King Juan Carlos's legal battle causes a new stir in the Royal Family

Since Juan Carlos I's decision became known, the topic has been a subject of conversation within the Royal Family. Felipe VI, who has always opted to keep an image of institutional neutrality and distance from his father's controversies, faces a new dilemma.

The fact that the Crown is once again associated with legal proceedings is a constant concern. Especially when the emeritus has spent years trying to keep a low profile since his departure to Abu Dhabi. However, this new legal offensive completely changes the narrative.

It's not just a legal issue. The media involvement in this case is assured, and matters that seemed buried will resurface.

Despite this, Juan Carlos I is convinced that his cause is just. Yes, and that he has the right to defend himself like any other citizen.

He believes he has remained silent for too long and will not allow accusations to continue without consequences. It's not just about Revilla; it's about setting a precedent and making it clear that he will not tolerate more personal attacks.

For now, the case will continue its course, and it is expected that in the coming weeks the relevant documents will be filed in court. Therefore, the emeritus's figure will once again be at the center of the media debate. What happens in the courts could have a direct impact on his image and that of his family.

Meanwhile, the former Cantabrian president has kept calm in his public statements, although he has not retracted his words. Everything points to the dispute being solved in a trial that will attract great attention.
