Royal Family Breaks Their Silence After King Juan Carlos I's Concerning Latest News

The latest decision by King Juan Carlos has once again shaken the Spanish monarchy. The emeritus has filed a new lawsuit, this time against his former close friend, Corinna Larsen. With this action, he has ignored the advice of the Royal Household, which expressly asked him not to initiate more legal battles, and there is increasing concern.

The news was first revealed on television. Luis Pliego, director of Lecturas, announced it on the program TardeAR last Tuesday, April 8. According to his explanation, the lawsuit is already in the hands of the lawyers who also represent Juan Carlos in his case against Miguel Ángel Revilla.

The legal objective of this lawsuit is clear. It seeks to defend his honor against Corinna Larsen's public statements in interviews, documentaries, and podcasts. The argument of his defense is that none of Larsen's claims have been proven with concrete evidence.

Hours later, journalist Pilar Eyre confirmed the information. The lawsuit is already drafted and has been filed in Switzerland, a country closely linked to the former monarch. There, Juan Carlos keeps personal relationships, a trusted medical team, and a law firm that supports him.

The gesture has caused new and deep unrest in Zarzuela. Not only because of the content of the complaint but also because of the timing. In just one week, the emeritus king has initiated two legal processes that discomfort the institution he no longer officially represents.

Royal Household Breaks the Silence

Amid the media uproar, the Royal Household has decided to act. According to Pliego on El Programa de Ana Rosa, a spokesperson from Zarzuela offered them an official response. The stance was clear and forceful: "It's a personal matter of the king."

This phrase has been interpreted as a way to completely distance themselves from the emeritus. In other words, Felipe VI and his team wanted to make it clear that they are not involved in or supporting his father's decision. Journalist Mariángel Alcázar confirmed it later live: "Juan Carlos feels that they don't defend him as they should."

The distance between father and son is not new, but now it becomes even more evident. The emeritus expected greater institutional support that hasn't arrived. He doesn't understand that, in reality, Zarzuela's silence protects him more than it harms him.

Luis Pliego also explained the traditional approach of the Royal Household. According to his comments, their rule is to avoid going to court over image or reputation issues. For the institution, defending themselves legally can be seen as a weakness rather than a solution.

However, Juan Carlos I is no longer part of that structure. Since he left his official duties, he is considered a private citizen. Therefore, he can exercise his right to go to court like any other citizen.

The Concern of the Royal Household

This new lawsuit against Corinna Larsen is not an isolated incident, which is why the Royal Household is concerned. It comes just days after the emeritus filed another complaint against Miguel Ángel Revilla. On that occasion, he demanded 50,000 euros for statements that, according to his legal team, damage his honor.

The environment of the emeritus king assures that more actions could come. A legal path has been opened that seems unstoppable. Juan Carlos wants to clear his name, even if it means further straining his relationship with Zarzuela.

The situation worries sectors of the institution. They understand that each new move by the emeritus reopens wounds that Felipe VI wants to close. In the midst of an offensive to modernize and protect the image of the monarchy, these controversies pose a setback.

Meanwhile, Juan Carlos remains in Abu Dhabi. He lives in retirement but keeps active through his frequent visits to Geneva. From there, he would be coordinating his legal defense and new strategies to respond to those who, according to him, have damaged his reputation.

Corinna Larsen, meanwhile, has not yet made statements about the new lawsuit. In the past, she has reiterated that her relationship with the emeritus was real and complex. She has also hinted that she feared for her safety, a claim that further fueled the controversy.

The judicial path that Juan Carlos has embarked on seems destined to prolong. Each new step accentuates his isolation from the royal family. The Royal Household, meanwhile, insists on keeping their distance, with a focus on preserving their image and that of the current head of state.
