On March 7, after the Prosecutor’s Office filed the cases for which he was being investigated, the King’s father told his son his decision to remain in the capital of the United Arab Emirates and not to return permanently to Spain.
“I will return frequently to Spain, which I always carry in my heart, to visit family and friends,” Don Juan Carlos communicated to his son, in a letter in which he also informed the King that when he returned temporarily , would be installed in private homes. It will be then, the day that Juan Carlos I is in Spanish territory, when the meeting between father and son will take place.
