Juan Carlos de Borbon returned to the public eye to promote a new memoir titled Juan Carlos I d'Espagne. The 512-page volume will appear in France on November 5 and in Spain on December 3. The memoir was conceived to explain and defend his decisions and to prevent others from stealing his story. He portrays himself as a monarch never fully master of his destiny and admits to disappointing others, to weaknesses and errors of judgment in love and friendship, to keeping bad company, and to accepting gifts some consider inappropriate. He addresses money received from the late King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, calling it an act of generosity between monarchies.
