The former King of Spain is clearing up those Princess Diana rumors.
Nearly three decades after her death, King Juan Carlos denied that he and the Princess of Wales had an affair in the ‘80s.
In fact, the former monarch, 87, describes Diana in his forthcoming memoir Reconciliation, as “cold, taciturn, distant, except in the presence of the paparazzi,” according to a preview published in The Telegraph Oct. 29.
Between the summers of 1986 and 1988, King Juan Carlos welcomed Diana, her then-husband King Charles III, Prince William and Prince Harry to the Spanish royal family’s summer home in Palma de Mallorca. Given Charles’ long-running affair at the time with now-Queen Camilla and ongoing speculation that Juan Carlos had several extramarital affairs, rumors of a tryst between Diana and Juan Carlos swirled.
Though Diana never addressed the rumors publicly, she described the Spanish king—who abdicated the throne in 2014 amid multiple scandals—as “a little too attentive” after a trip to Mallorca, according to Andrew Morton’s book Ladies of Spain.
