The closest circle of King Juan Carlos I is astonished after the publication of some photos that have revived old stories about the relationship between the monarch and the vedette Bárbara Rey.
The images, published in a magazine from the Netherlands, show the emeritus and the former vedette in an affectionate and relaxed attitude, something that has not sat well in the environment of King Juan Carlos I, who consider this dissemination as a media “hunt” that only seeks to tarnish his current stay in Spain.
King Juan Carlos’ Reaction
The friends of the ex-monarch, who keep out of the media noise, cannot help but wonder why every time the king visits Spain, there are news that seem to be calculated to cloud his present.
A close source commented to the portal Vanitatis: “Something always happens when he is here, but this time they have gone too far. It’s old stuff and, besides, publishing that is illegal.”
The images in question are not explicit, but they show Juan Carlos I and Bárbara Rey in an everyday situation rarely seen in the life of a monarch.
In the photos, both are sitting on the porch of the vedette’s house, chatting and laughing like any other couple.
She wears a strapless Ibizan dress with cleavage, while he wears a blue striped shirt. What has been most surprising is that Ángel Cristo Jr., Bárbara’s son, confirmed that he was the one who leaked the images.
Where is King Juan Carlos now?
The publication of these photos has coincided with the stay of King Juan Carlos in Galicia, where he is enjoying the regattas of Sanxenxo.
His closest friends, who plan to spend time with him, have been upset by the timing of this scandal with his visit.
“It’s as if they did it on purpose to ruin a quiet moment,” commented some.
The former monarch, however, seems determined to enjoy a few days in the company of his lifelong friends. Among them, Philip Adkins, ex-husband of Corinna Larsen and close friend of Don Juan Carlos, has already confirmed his attendance to a private dinner organized by the king this Friday.
Despite the controversy surrounding his name, Juan Carlos has preferred not to alter his plans. His stay in Galicia promises to be quiet, without major movements or commitments beyond enjoying the sea and the company of his loved ones.
