entertainment">The photo shows Juan Carlos, who will turn 83 on Tuesday, walking around a marina. He finds it difficult to keep his balance and is supported by two supervisors. Reason for Spanish media to question the overall health of the discredited ex-king on Monday.
entertainment">The photo that Telecinco is only the second recording of Juan Carlos released since August. The first showed his arrival in Abu Dhabi after his more or less forced departure from Spain. This is to “facilitate the exercise of his functions” for his son and successor King Felipe. He saw the already weak image of the monarchy crumble further due to the constant revelations about the shadowy financial trade and walk of Juan Carlos. Physical distance would diminish the association between father and son, it was thought.
entertainment">Juan Carlos, who underwent another bypass operation in 2019, was already in moderate health before his departure. He has had more than 17 surgeries, many of them in recent years. It is not exactly known how he is doing now. The palace makes no statements, apart from a denial in late December when it was reported that Juan Carlos was in the hospital with a corona infection.
entertainment">According to Spanish media, he has only had a visit from eldest daughter Princess Elena since August and no visitors are to be expected on the occasion of the birthday. In any case, the photo reinforces the image of a lonely, sickly man.
