King Juan Carlos has expressed to Carlos Herrera his desire to return to Spain “When the appropriate circumstances arise” and they do not generate instability for his son Felipe VI, according to what the COPE journalist reported on Monday.
Herrera has traveled this weekend to Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates), the country where the emeritus king has been staying since August 2020, to meet the monarch and chat about his current situation. According to Herrera, when he returns, the king will be “as long as he deems appropriate.”
According to the journalist, the emeritus king is looking forward to going back to Spain, and it will do so when the appropriate circumstances arise and these do not create instability for Felipe VI.
The journalist has confirmed that the king emeritus is in contact with his son, as well as with his network of closest friends with whom he exchanges opinions. Also that he follows the national news: Don Juan Carlos reads the press of our country, listens to the radio and watches the television news.
To verify this meeting, Cope publishes this Monday a Photography of both standing in front of the camera and the journalist highlights the “good condition” of Don Juan Carlos.
“The king is slimmer and looking extremely healthy. He stays fit. He works out every day with the help of a physio. His state of health is as desirable as a person of his age can have. He is like I have not seen him in a long time, “says the director of Herrera at COPE.
The journalist has detailed that the meeting “It was relaxed and both had time to talk about different issues”among them the current situation of the emeritus king after spending more than a year and a half outside of Spain.
In his program, Herrera explained the meeting in this way: “Look, this weekend I took the opportunity to visit the Dubai Expo, which is as spectacular as you may think the Dubai Expo is, and a little more.”
“While in Dubai, I took the opportunity to get in touch with the king Juan Carlos, who kindly gave me a few minutes of his time, gave me the confidence to give me a chat and I thanked him and thank him, as always”.
