The emeritus worries King Felipe with his diagnosis.
Juan Carlos I has generated concern in his family and in the Royal Household due to his increasingly fragile state of health. Following his recent move of residence from Abu Dhabi to Geneva, measures have been taken to facilitate his gradual return to Spain, adapting his new residences to meet his reduced mobility needs.
At 86 years old, the emeritus has experienced episodes of memory loss, which has led doctors to recommend the permanent use of a wheelchair. In addition, the presence of senile dementia has been detected, which has generated concern in his family environment.
His son, King Philip, wishes to have his father closer to home so he can provide her with the necessary support and attention. For this reason, more frequent and comfortable flights are being organized from Switzerland, where the former president currently resides, compared to long trips from the Arab Emirates.
The three children of the emeritus are deeply concerned about his health and have held conversations with doctors to better understand his situation.
Despite his resistance, measures are being taken to ensure that Juan Carlos I receives the necessary attention and care at this stage of his life. His return to Spain is expected to be gradual, as he continues to adapt his residences to ensure his comfort and well-being.
