The king emeritus Juan Carlos has categorically denied having a secret daughter with the aristocrat Rosario Palacios, as several media outlets have claimed in recent days. In a statement to EFE, the king explains that, out of respect for the truth and the honor of the people involved, he is forced to deny any love relationship with Palacios and, therefore, deny having a daughter with her.
Speculation about a secret daughter of the king has arisen as a result of the revelations in the book “King Corp.” by journalists José María Olmo and David Fernández. According to several media outlets, it is suggested that the secret daughter could be Alejandra de Rojas, daughter of the late Palacios. However, sources in the royal household denied any knowledge of any secret daughter of the king.
The book “King Corp.” comes after the second visit of the king emeritus to Spain since he moved to the United Arab Emirates several years ago, following reports that came to light about his business dealings abroad. Unlike his first visit last year, Juan Carlos spent several days in the Pontevedra town of Sanxenxo without making any statements, although he was photographed on his arrival at Vigo airport and with the crew of the sailing boat Bribón.
