King Juan Carlos has surprised everyone by revealing certain aspects of Froilán's private life. Among them, the emeritus king hasn't hesitated to share the challenge his grandson must face every day. This is a detail in Froilán's life that would justify his unruly and controversial behavior.
For years, the son of Infanta Elena has made headlines for his controversial life, and now everything could have an explanation. Thanks to Juan Carlos's confession, we now know what Froilán's secret is.
King Juan Carlos shares the problem Froilán faces every day
King Juan Carlos has spoken again, although this time it was on the occasion of Froilán's 27th birthday. The son of Infanta Elena is once again making headlines, although now for a reason that has nothing to do with his controversial life.
To mark the celebration, the emeritus king's biographer has revealed what his grandson is really like. Thanks to the close relationship with Laurence Debray, King Juan Carlos has confided that Froilán has a problem with dyslexia. This challenge affected the learning of Felipe's nephew and forced him to double his academic and personal efforts.
Because of this, people have always said that Froilán wasn't good at school and has accumulated numerous academic failures. This type of disorder makes learning difficult and, if not treated, can lead to frustration, poor educational behavior, and failures. This would explain the different schools Froilán has attended throughout his academic life.
However, while dyslexia has no cure, it is possible to fight it with guidelines and a different way of learning. But this requires consistency, dedication, and interest. That's why Froilán has to face this personal problem every day.
This isn't the only delicate detail in the life of King Juan Carlos's favorite grandson. The biographer and close confidant of the emeritus king has also revealed other secrets about Marichalar's son.
Froilán, King Juan Carlos's favorite grandson, is exposed
Debray adds that, in addition to dyslexia, Froilán carries traumas ranging from his parents' divorce to romantic relationships she describes as "abusive." The writer had the chance to meet him in 2023 and quickly made an accurate portrait of what he is really like.
Above all, thanks to Juan Carlos, who opened the doors of his home in Abu Dhabi and his private life. The emeritus king welcomed Froilán in the Emirates in an attempt to keep him away from the controversies that had been happening in Spain. This suggests that Victoria Federica's brother left because he was forced to.
Despite this, Laurence states that "he didn't disappoint his grandfather," and that his life with Juan Carlos is exemplary. She also highlights Froilán's generous and good character, mixed with his "raw" emotions, which make him explode often. All of this, she says, is the result of the media scrutiny he has been permanently exposed to.
Living with King Juan Carlos could almost be described as therapeutic for Froilán. Thanks to his grandfather's connections, he became professionally linked to the state oil company ADNOC during 2023, coinciding with the COP28 climate summit.
This intergenerational bond between Juan Carlos and Froilán will be part of the biography about the emeritus king's life that will be published soon. The author explains that the book covers the emeritus king's life from childhood to the beginning of 2023, just when Froilán appears on the scene. Judging by this latest confession about his grandson's life, the biography is expected to shed light on other members of the royal family.
