Princess Diana’s private words are shaking the palace walls once again — this time involving a controversial claim about Spain’s former monarch, King Juan Carlos.
According to resurfaced accounts and new attention surrounding Juan Carlos’ own memoir, Reconciliation, the late Princess of Wales once told close friends she felt “uncomfortable” around the Spanish king — even as decades of rumors linked the two in a secret affair during the 1980s.
The revelation comes as the ex-royal, now 87, reflects on his past scandals and relationships. In his book, Juan Carlos allegedly described Diana as “cold, taciturn, and distant — except in the presence of paparazzi,” sparking fresh scrutiny of their complicated connection.
During the height of Diana’s troubled marriage to then-Prince Charles, she and Charles spent several summers at the Spanish royal family’s lavish retreat in Palma de Mallorca. That’s where speculation about her “friendship” with Juan Carlos first began — whispers that have refused to die even decades later.
But Diana reportedly told close confidants something far different: that she never engaged in any impropriety with the Spanish monarch. “I felt uncomfortable being left alone with him in a room,” she allegedly said, describing him as “a very libidinous man.”
Juan Carlos — once a respected European statesman — saw his reputation collapse under waves of financial and romantic scandals, eventually leading to his abdication. As for Diana, her openness about feeling trapped within the royal system and the pressures of fame have made these resurfaced remarks especially haunting.
While the late princess insisted “nothing happened,” insiders say the tension and gossip that surrounded her Spanish visits added yet another layer to the endless speculation about her private life — a mystery that continues to fascinate the world nearly 30 years after her death.
