In the early morning of August 3, 2020, the Royal Palace of Sazuela, located in Madrid, the capital of Spain, woke up in the sun. The attendants served a sumptuous breakfast on a long table, the silver tableware was printed with golden morning light, and the butler placed the newspaper that had just been delivered to the main seat. Everything was ready in the restaurant, quietly waiting for the arrival of the old king.
But the old king did not appear at the table on time today. The butler whispered into the old king's bedroom, but there was no sign of the old king, only a letter pressed with a pen on the desk in front of the window.
Juan Carlos I
The old king who suddenly left the palace was Juan Carlos I, the former king of Spain, who was a terrible old king, and his lovers were scattered all over the world, as many as five thousand people. Why did the old king leave suddenly? Did you go on a date again?
He was separated from his parents as a child and was later controlled by a dictatorship
On television, many people have seen the royal life of European countries, elegant and luxurious, with many rules and grandeur. Juan Carlos, who was also born in the royal family, did not have such good luck. Although Spain established a constitutional monarchy very early, the regime was not stable, and for a long time the domestic situation was turbulent, and there were many dictatorships, and Juan Carlos grew up in the era of Franco's dictatorship.
Carlos
Carlos was born in 1938 during the civil war and turmoil in Spain. As the honorable prince of the Spanish royal family, Carlos was sent to boarding school at the age of 8 and lost the company of his family. Leaving his young son alone in school, Carlos's father, Prince Juan, was also very reluctant, but rather than let his son follow him in a precarious exile, he preferred his son to learn to accept the influence of knowledge and hone his strong will.
However, Carlos was not yet fully accustomed to the closed life of the boarding school and was picked up by his grandmother. The old man is always the most distressed about the child, leaving the 8-year-old grandson alone outside, the grandmother can not accept it in her heart. The Prince and His Wife temporarily settled in England, and the grandmother sent Carlos back to his parents, hoping that he could grow up like a normal child in the love of his parents.
Franco
In order to stabilize his position, Franco, who was in power in Spain, needed a legitimate successor, and Carlos, who was born into the nobility, was the best choice. Franco soon approached the Prince Juan and his wife and asked them to send Carlos back to Spain to receive an orthodox princely education and to train him as the future King of Spain. In 1948, at the age of 10, Carlos bid farewell to his parents in a daze and embarked on the road back to China.
At this time, there were no relatives of Carlos in Spain, and Franco, who separated him from his parents, became his closest person. Although Franco was cold and taciturn by nature, he was very attentive to Carlos's education and cultivation, and arranged the best teacher for him.
When Carlos was 18 years old, Franco sent him into the army, on the one hand, to let him grow up quickly under the grind of the army, on the other hand, because those who could enter the army were all talented and the pillars of the country's future, and Carlos had to make political friends here.
Carlos didn't get a carefree childhood after all, but he grew up like a prince. Carlos was tall, handsome, dressed and well-mannered, and as long as he was present at the banquet, the girls were fascinated by him.
On November 20, 1975, Franco ended his dictatorship over Spain and died with reluctance. Carlos officially became the king of Spain and the supreme commander of the Spanish army. Carlos grew up under Franco's influence, but he did not take over the power as he did with it as Franco, and Carlos was determined to return Spain to democracy.
In 1978, Carlos promulgated a new constitution declaring that the King of Spain was no longer the ruler of the regime and was no longer directly involved in the governance of the country, but as a symbol of the state, he represented Spain in diplomatic activities. In just 3 years, Carlos cleaned up the old forces of franco's time, and with his own years of personal accumulation, he changed the blood of the Spanish regime and made Spain move from dictatorship to democracy.
After abdicating, he was sued by his illegitimate son, but the final result was not resolved
On June 2, 2014, at the age of 76, Carlos announced his abdication and his eldest son Felipe became the new king. Carlos thought that he could get away from the public eye and live a low-key and stable retirement life, but he did not expect to be pushed to the forefront soon.
Shortly after Carlos's abdication, Spain's Supreme Court received a lawsuit requesting a paternity test with the old king. The plaintiff, named Sola, claimed to be the illegitimate son of former King Carlos. This seemingly bizarre case did not attract the attention of the court. Due to insufficient evidence, the court refused to accept the case of the alleged "slander" of the old king.
Carlos and his mistress
Sora did not give up on this, according to his mother's description, Carlos was a man of affair, wandering around, not knowing how many bad relationships he had left behind, and his illegitimate son was by no means the only one. In the past, Carlos was the king of Spain, the supreme representative of the country to the outside world, because they did not stand up to reveal Carlos's true face out of the preservation of the country's image and dignity, and now they no longer have to be merciful.
Sora saw an article on the Internet scolding Carlos for being hypocritical and arrogant, and he clicked into the author's homepage out of curiosity. Sora read an inexplicable sense of familiarity from the author's article, as if they were two poor people with the same disease, carefully taking comfort from each other. Sora has a bold conjecture – this author is also Carlos's illegitimate son!
Sora quickly contacted the author, and they met in a café, looking at each other's faces similar to their own, and both of them blushed. The author's name is Ingrid Satya' and she is 49 years old.
The misfortunes of both of their childhoods were caused by the former King Carlos, who decided to seek justice for themselves and for their mother.
This time, Sora was no longer acting recklessly, and together with Ingrid he orchestrated a counterattack against the old king. Ingrid is a blogger who has a certain influence on the Internet, she first wrote about Carlos's affair with his mother when he was young, and irresponsible behavior into articles and published on the Internet, which attracted the attention of many netizens.
Carlos's mistress
She also launched an initiative, hoping that all the women who have been hurt by Carlos will stand up bravely and condemn this irresponsible man. Soon, they were making a wave on the Internet.
They raised their voices and filed a lawsuit with the court again when public opinion was at its highest. Ingrid demanded financial compensation from Carlos, while Sora believed that he was Carlos's eldest son and should succeed him as King of Spain. Sora's request may seem whimsical, but two in-person lawsuits against the former king have been received in quick succession, and coupled with the public opinion storm on the Internet, the court can no longer sit idly by.
In the face of public condemnation, Carlos did not respond. Sora and Ingrid had to do a paternity test themselves, and they did two tests in succession, but the results were very different. One shows that the two parties are related by blood, and the second time shows that there is no blood relationship. Sora suspects that someone is secretly cheating, but he can't prove it, and the paternity test result has become a piece of nonsense.
After a stalemate, the court again returned the lawsuit between Sora and Ingrid, who were unable to provide convincing evidence and had to adjourn them for the time being. But the voices of the two of them aroused the attention of the people to the private morality of the old king, and the aristocratic aura above Carlos's head was already crumbling.
An unknown affair debt, with 5,000 lovers
Judging from Carlos's political career, he seems to be a visionary monarch. He received a first-class education from an early age, which can be described as brave and strategic, and when faced with the counterattack of Franco's old forces, he could also calmly face it, properly handle it, quell the military coup in the shortest possible time, and achieve the famous "Night of Coming Forward". As a king, Carlos did his job of being accountable to his country and his people.
But as a man, Carlos's private life is not so glamorous. As a prince, he should have been strict with himself and restrained his behavior, but Carlos was not only unrestrained in the affairs of men and women, but also could be said to be unruly and bottomless, with 5,000 lovers in his life.
Perhaps away from his parents from an early age, Carlos did not establish a correct concept of men and women. After returning to Spain, Franco focused only on his studies and not on his character, so much so that Carlos went further and further down the road of debauchery.
As early as school, Carlos was already very popular, and he had more than three hundred girlfriends before he became an adult. Most of Carlos's girlfriends are short-lived dewy love affairs, and Carlos only wants to satisfy his own desires and does not pay his heart. But those girls all have a sincere heart and hope to have a romantic romance with this prince, but they are ruthlessly abandoned in the blink of an eye.
During his service in the army, Carlos did not restrain his nature, and whenever he had the opportunity to leave the army, he wandered into the bright lights.
Carlos marries Sophia
In 1962, a grand wedding was held in Madrid, where King Carlos of Spain married the beautiful Princess Sofia. Carlos hugged the beauty, but did not make the slightest change, and still loved one for young women after marriage.
As King of Spain, Carlos often traveled to various countries, sometimes alone, and he dated women in various countries without restraint. Sometimes he traveled with the princess, and Carlos met his lovers privately on the grounds of attending banquets, and over the years he gained hundreds of lovers.
Carlos loves young women with style, and Spanish star Sarah Monttear is one of his favorite lovers. Unlike one-night stands with many women, Carlos and Sarah maintained a long-term lover relationship. In 1975, the two of them were discovered by Princess Sophia, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Sarah Monttierre
If Carlos in his youth attracted women by his handsome appearance and noble status, how did he make so many girlfriends willing to accompany him in his old age? This brings us to Carlos's other sin besides the affair.
In 2017, a Spanish official named Verajojo was arrested on suspicion of money laundering, bribery and other charges. But Verahoho was arrested, what happened to the old king?
It turned out that Carlos had also planted a heel on the hands of women for many years. Carlos has a girlfriend named Corinne, and when Carlos wants to end her relationship, Corinne proposes a huge breakup fee, otherwise she will make the fact of Carlos promiscuous to the public, Carlos finally gave Corinna a $65 million sealing fee.
Corinne
As a king, Carlos lived a luxurious life, but he should not have so much private money. After investigation, it was discovered that this huge amount of money was the money that Carlos had embezzled through the hands of VilaJojo.
After this matter was made public, carlos's elegant image in the hearts of the people for many years collapsed, and his misconduct and embezzlement of public funds made him unable to look up in front of the world from then on. Carlos faced moral condemnation and a legal trial, and the Spanish Secret Service, in order to quell the controversy, announced that it would chemically castrate the old king and completely cut off his desires. In 2021, the 83-year-old king underwent chemical castration.
After this disaster, Carlos was no longer the noble highness, he finally realized his mistake and remained in the palace to enjoy the treatment of the king. In order to calm public opinion, he left a farewell letter and quietly left.
epilogue
Carlos is a vivid portrayal of the complexity of human nature, he is the great king who led Spain from dictatorship to democracy, but he is also a beast controlled by desire, success and failure, in fact, it lies in himself, once he was admired by thousands of people, and now he should bear the scorn of everyone.
