A person very close to King Juan Carlos's inner circle has broken their silence before our country's media to reveal one of the best pieces of news about Froilán.
Just a few days ago, all alarms went off when it was confirmed that, after years of rumors, the memoirs of the emeritus are about to come to light. This project has become a reality thanks to Laurence Debray, an expert on the Spanish Transition and a great admirer of the monarch.
During an interview for El País, the author of Reconciliación stated that she didn't feel "qualified for that project." However, she also made it clear that she thought it was "magnificent" that King Juan Carlos "could tell his truth."
Meanwhile, Debray confirmed that, although she didn't have access to the emeritus's personal archive at Zarzuela for the preparation of the memoirs, she was able to speak with Froilán.
Now, after these first statements, the magazine ¡Hola! has had the opportunity to speak with this French author. She took this moment to reveal the best news about the grandson of King Juan Carlos: his life has completely changed.
The biographer of King Juan Carlos reveals how much Froilán's life has changed
It was at the beginning of 2023 when Infanta Elena made the decision to send her son Froilán to Abu Dhabi with his grandfather, King Juan Carlos. This gesture was carried out in order to keep the young man away from the public eye after he had been involved in several scandals.
During all these years, the eldest son of the Duchess of Lugo has kept a low profile. Now, Laurence Debray has brought him back into the spotlight and has revealed how much his life has changed during this time.
"Froilán accepted the challenge and began to forge a completely different routine," said the biographer of King Juan Carlos. She also didn't hesitate to point out that he has started to build a routine completely different from the one he had in Spain.
For years, both he and his sister Victoria Federica have been involved in numerous scandals, which gave them an unfavorable image within the royal family. Now, Froilán's life is completely different.
According to Debray, King Juan Carlos's grandson shares an apartment with a friend, has incorporated sports into his daily life, and pays special attention to his diet. He also works in the logistics area of the state oil company Adnoc.
Meanwhile, she wanted to highlight that the bond between Froilán and Infanta Elena is very close. The biographer emphasizes that the young man "doesn't hold back on tender gestures" toward his mother, showing the strong bond between them.
This closeness also extends to his sister, with whom he keeps in constant phone contact. She also confirmed that the relationship he keeps with Infanta Cristina's children is very smooth, to the point of forming, according to the expert, a "united and joyful clan."
According to Debray, Froilán has managed to leave his excesses behind, though without losing his energetic personality. So much so that she describes him as a generous man, with a strong character and a big heart, qualities that, along with family support, have been key in his evolution.
Meanwhile, she also explained that King Juan Carlos has been one of his greatest supports in this process of change. "He has been the silent point of reference, the support he could turn to without needing explanations," the historian says.
Despite all the scandals he has been involved in in the past, Froilán now seeks "discipline and anonymity," something he has only been able to find far from our borders.
