Juan Carlos, Spain’s former king, tried to persuade his ex-lover to give him back $100 million that he had gifted her as he faced scrutiny over his financial affairs.
Juan Carlos, 84, who abdicated in June 2014 after a series of scandals, flew to London a few months later and invited Corinna Zu Sayn-Wittgenstein to lunch at the Sommelier’s Table, a private dining room in the cellars of the Connaught Hotel, according to El Confidencial.
