A new article about ex King Juan Carlos in Abu Dhabi. Apparently he lives a very secluded life. It?s said  the Spanish Treasury is paying part of his costs, while the wheels of justice back in Spain grind on. Latest stories are about arms smuggling in the past.

Ex King Juan Carlos is probably celebrating. The Spanish authorities are dropping their inquiries into his finances. However there are other things proceeding. The Swiss are still continuing their investigations and there are a couple of paternity suits still pending.

Juan Carlos viewed the Prince Philip funeral with sadness and has decided to begin planning his own. No doubt he will be buried at El Escorial with his ancestors but whether the funeral will take place in Spain is unknown. It may be a bit awkward as his recent actions have estranged him from King Felipe. Nevertheless I do think it is likely that it will take place there.

I have read that she has stated that she lent HIM funds at one stage. He probably gave her money at various points. JC seems to have been very free and easy with gifts he got from business corporations etc. However, the couple?s  financial and other arrangements seem to have been so convoluted over the years that who knows what was going on.

My goodness, the complications that have come to both parties in this due to both not contemplating the consequences of an adulterous affair. Thank heavens Felipe doesn?t behave as his father did throughout his married life. It?s appalling really.
