it's official: Iñaki Urdangarin loses his fear and reveals the most shocking side of Juan Carlos
The former husband of Infanta Cristina has decided to take a step to, among other things, publicly question the emeritus king
The news has strongly shaken the media and those who closely follow the movements of the Spanish royal family. It is no wonder: it has become official that Iñaki Urdangarin, former Duke of Palma, has lost his fear and is ready to tell everything. He has decided to do so through a memoir, in which he will reveal the most shocking details about KingJuan Carlos.
What had been kept silent until now will come to light in a forceful way. He will not hold anything back, neither about his personal life, nor about his time in prison, nor about the most painful disappointment he suffered. That was feeling abandoned by the man who was his father-in-law.

Iñaki Urdangarin breaks his silence with a devastating memoir
After his release from prison and his separation from Infanta Cristina, Iñaki Urdangarin has started a new chapter in his life. He is living away from the spotlight, with his current partner, Ainhoa Armentia, and focused on regaining his stability. However, in recent weeks he has returned to the news with force.
First, he gave an interview that sparked media interest. Now, it has emerged that he is finalizing the publication of his memoir.
This was revealed by journalist Pilar Eyre, a specialist in the Royal House, in the magazine Lecturas. According to her, the Basque is "correcting the proofs of his book" and has been working on it even during his beach vacation.
This is a work that, according to her, "is a bomb." It doesn't limit itself to telling personal or anecdotal aspects, it goes further. Iñaki Urdangarin talks about his marriage to Cristina, his children, his time in prison and, above all, how he experienced his fall from grace within the Royal Family.
But the most shocking part is related to King Juan Carlos. The former Duke, according to Eyre, recounts his great disappointment with him.
A disillusionment that he sums up in a harsh phrase: "He sacrificed me, he let me fall." These words set the tone for what could become one of the most explosive accounts about the inner workings of the monarchy.

King Juan Carlos at the center of controversy over Iñaki Urdangarin's account
Iñaki Urdangarin's words are not the result of a recent impulse; they come from a long process of reflection. In that process, the role of the emeritus king has been decisive. The emotional break with him would have been as deep as the legal and social break with the institution.
The ex-husband of Infanta Cristina, who was convicted of corruption in the Nóos case, says in his book that he was the scapegoat. That the emeritus, in order to preserve the image of the Crown, chose to leave him alone before the justice system and public opinion. His testimony will offer a perspective that had remained hidden until now: that of the inside of the scandal told by one of its protagonists.

This account could not only make King Juan Carlos uncomfortable, but also the rest of the Royal Family. Especially now that the institution is trying to project a renewed image, with Felipe VI at the helm, and Leonor and Sofía preparing to take on more responsibilities.
The book, scheduled for January 2026, is already generating maximum anticipation. Not only because of its content, but also because of what it could mean in terms of media and political impact. Urdangarin seems ready to break the pact of silence that for years prevailed among the members and close associates of the Crown.
The fact that Iñaki speaks openly about his relationship with his former father-in-law shows that, for the first time, someone so close has decided to tell his version of events with complete freedom. Especially about a critical period for the monarchy, which coincided with the beginning of the end of the emeritus's reign.
We will have to wait for the publication, but if what Pilar Eyre has revealed comes true, this memoir could become one of the most controversial and widely read books of the year. A testimony that will leave no one indifferent.
