“Princess Diana is rumoured to be just one of the many young ladies the king, now 74, pursued in a romantic career in which — like his namesake, the seducer Don Juan — he is said to have bedded more than 1,500 women.”
“The explosive claim is made in a new book by Barcelona-based author Pilar Eyre, who has already written six volumes about the Spanish royal family.”
“Imperious and suave, Juan Carlos looks every inch the old-style monarch . . . with the autocratic manners to go with it. He loves hunting bears, skiing and boating — and bedding the opposite sex.”
“Apparently, it is an open secret in his circles that he is such a keen womaniser that the only woman he does not spend much time with is his wife, Greek-born Queen Sofia.”
“Another royal biographer, Lady Colin Campbell, has long insisted that the Princess and the king embarked on an affair while on a cruise with their spouses in August 1986, and that they took up with each other again the following summer.”
“According to Eyre, rumours of the affair intensified later over the curious case of some photos of Diana in a state of undress.”

“For by then the royal couple were more or less estranged as a result of the king’s persistent womanising.”
“Unwisely, she decided to surprise him by arriving at the estate in the middle of the night with their children, the eldest of whom was 12. She burst through the door, brushed past the servants and, taking the stairs two at a time, discovered her husband in flagrante with an unknown woman.”

15 Logical Fallacies Detected“On the face of things, it looks like a happy family snap... But look again. At the other end of the couch, Prince Charles seems scarcely part of the same holiday party in 1986. He is staring glumly straight ahead like the proverbial gooseberry.”
“Princess Diana is rumoured to be just one of the many young ladies the king, now 74, pursued in a romantic career in which — like his namesake, the seducer Don Juan — he is said to have bedded more than 1,500 women.”
“The explosive claim is made in a new book by Barcelona-based author Pilar Eyre, who has already written six volumes about the Spanish royal family.”
“Imperious and suave, Juan Carlos looks every inch the old-style monarch . . . with the autocratic manners to go with it. He loves hunting bears, skiing and boating — and bedding the opposite sex.”
“Apparently, it is an open secret in his circles that he is such a keen womaniser that the only woman he does not spend much time with is his wife, Greek-born Queen Sofia.”
“Another royal biographer, Lady Colin Campbell, has long insisted that the Princess and the king embarked on an affair while on a cruise with their spouses in August 1986, and that they took up with each other again the following summer.”
“According to Eyre, rumours of the affair intensified later over the curious case of some photos of Diana in a state of undress.”
“These were touted around the world’s publications, only to be taken off the market when someone in Spain paid $45,000 (£29,000) for them. That someone is rumoured to have been Juan Carlos, who wanted to protect the Princess’s reputation.”
“In a macho country like Spain, the king’s womanising image makes him very popular,’ she says. ‘Even the women don’t reproach him. On the contrary, they love him because he has such a seductive manner with them. But they don’t feel the same about poor Queen Sofia.”
“Eyre says she tried hard to find out whether the Queen might also have had lovers in her time, but could come up with nothing.”
“For by then the royal couple were more or less estranged as a result of the king’s persistent womanising.”
“Unwisely, she decided to surprise him by arriving at the estate in the middle of the night with their children, the eldest of whom was 12. She burst through the door, brushed past the servants and, taking the stairs two at a time, discovered her husband in flagrante with an unknown woman.”
“Lately she has taken solace in religion. She goes to Roman Catholic Mass every Sunday in the palace and attends Madrid’s Greek Orthodox church as well.”
“‘Shut up, you! Don’t fill her head with this nonsense, she will believe it all.’”
“The tragedy is that despite his behaviour, the Queen appears to be as captivated by her husband as she was when they married 40 years ago.”
