Former King Juan Carlos I of Spain is once again in the spotlight since Wednesday, September 25, when the Dutch media Privé exclusively published some controversial photographs in which the father of King Felipe VI can be seen kissing Bárbara Rey, with whom he had an intermittent relationship that lasted for years.
In these images they can be seen in a very affectionate attitude, as they had never been seen before. And apparently it would have been Angel Cristo Jr. (son of Barbara Rey and the late Angel Cristo), who sold these images to the Dutch media.
Angel Cristo took these photos on May 22, 1994, as explained in the Privé report that accompanies these photos. The report also adds that Bárbara Rey would be the one who convinced her youngest son to take these images without the king realizing it in order to have graphic documents confirming their relationship.
From the program Espejo Público they communicated with Bárbara Rey. Unaware of the controversy that had been unleashed a few minutes earlier, she learned live of the publication of these compromising photographs: “What do I know? Too bad, no, I have nothing to say. This shows who my son is and what he is like. I’m not going to talk anymore.”
Mother and son have been engaged in a media war since late last year, when Ángel Cristo Jr. sat down for the first time on a television set to talk about his life and that of his mother.
