Europe News Desk!! Former King of Spain Juan Carlos I has returned home for the second time in three years after going to Abu Dhabi in August 2020 after the scandals were exposed. The 85-year-old king emeritus, who abdicated in favor of his son Philip IV in June 2014, is taking part in a sailing regatta at the resort of Saxenxo in the northwestern region of Galicia, Xinhua news agency reported. Juan Carlos flew from London to Spain in a private jet. On Tuesday, he watched Real Madrid’s 2-0 win against Chelsea in the Champions League in London, and he was also photographed leaving an exclusive club there on Monday night. Juan Carlos is not expected to travel to the capital Madrid or meet his son, according to Spanish government spokeswoman Isabel Rodriguez. Juan Carlos is credited with helping guide Spain’s transition after the death of General Francisco Franco in late 1975, but his image has been tarnished by financial scandals and controversies in recent years.
