King Juan Carlos will mark his birthday on January 5 with family and friends.
Rumor has it that the party will be held in Abu Dhabi, where he has been residing since his controversies emerged.

According to reports, the former king will be accompanied by his daughters, Infanta Cristina and Infanta Elena, who will also stay for some extra time to share more moments together.
While it is well known that the king made Abu Dhabi his new home a few years ago, he won’t be spending this special day alone.
In fact, his daughters and others close to him have plans to be by his side, ensuring a festive and familiar atmosphere.
Additionally, it seems that some friends have already arrived in the emirate on private planes, ready to join the celebration.
The festivities will begin with a welcome cocktail reception, followed by a delicious dinner and, of course, the traditional moment of blowing out the candles on the cake.
It is said that the celebration could even feature live performances, such as the music of Los del Rio or a DJ set, reminiscent of last year’s festivities.
There is still an air of mystery as to whether any of his grandchildren will attend the party. For now, it is known that the children of Infanta Cristina, as well as her partner, Iñaki Urdangarin, will spend New Year’s with their father, adding a family touch to the festivities.
Journalists speculate that this celebration might not be limited to just January 5. It is possible that on January 6, there will be a religious service attended by some guests.
Unfortunately, as in previous years, the big absentees will be King Felipe, Queen Letizia, and their daughters, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia.
Princess Leonor and her parents will be present at the traditional Military Easter, while Infanta Sofia will be in Wales to resume her studies.
Additionally, Queen Emeritus Sofia has not attended these celebrations for some time and there is no record that she has traveled to Abu Dhabi to visit her husband.
In short, the celebration of King Juan Carlos’ 87th birthday will be a memorable event, marked by the presence of his family and friends, although with some notable absences. It will be an occasion to remember and enjoy in an atmosphere of warmth and affection.
