Well he’s a tall drink of agua, isn’t he?

Their girls are beautiful. Sofia looks more like her dada, and Leonor looks more like mom. They are a gorgeous family.

Former King Juan Carlos has left Spain.

Madrid (CNN)Spain's former king, Juan Carlos I, who steered the nation from dictatorship to democracy, has left the country amid scrutiny of his alleged financial dealings.

In a letter to his son, King Felipe VI, Juan Carlos wrote that he made the decision to leave "in the face of the public repercussion that certain past events of my private life are generating."

A Royal Household spokesperson told CNN after publication of the letter on Monday that the former monarch "has left already," but declined to reveal where he has gone.
Earlier, his lawyer Javier Sanchez-Junco told CNN that Juan Carlos' move out of Spain was imminent, insisting he didn't know where the former King was headed.

Apparently, Queen Sofia is staying in the country. They haven't had a happy marriage and she's probably happy to see him leave!

What a mess that family is - excluding Felipe and Letizia, who seem to be trying their best. (And I appreciate that they have been the #1 royal family leading by example with mask wearing.)

Any guesses where he's absconded to? Switzerland? Argentina?

I'm confused. It sounds like Juan Carlos is fleeing the country, but fleeing isn't usually accompanied by a positive press statement from the current government.

He's rumored to be in the Dominican Republic.
