The two judges of the United Kingdom Court of Appeal, Peter Jackson and Nicholas Underhill, will allow the emeritus king to appeal the sentence that left him without inviolability, but only until the date of his abdication. That is to say, in any case he may be tried for crimes committed after June 19, 2014, the other charges may be appealed due to his inviolability.


However, the charges of which his ex-lover Corinna Larsen accuses him (harassment, defamation with loss of income and illegal surveillance) mostly occur after 2014. According to Corinna, after she refused to return to the relationship they had was when He carried out these acts of harassment and surveillance, for which he could be prosecuted.


The lawyer of the king emeritus, Timothy Otty, has tried to avoid this by arguing that withdrawing the inviolability of the king emeritus could cause an " impact on the dignity of the current monarch ", due to Juan Carlos I's membership Special Data in the Royal House, highly rejected by the Larsen's lawyers explaining that King Philip withdrew his financial allowance. Finally, the judges have found that “ none of the grounds to defend the existence of state immunity has been demonstrated, and, therefore, the lawsuit must move forward .

Although the magistrates claimed on several occasions that “ I would feel much more comfortable if the Spanish State could confirm to me that Juan Carlos I continues to be a member of the Royal Family. “I would not like to have to enter a field of Spanish Constitutional Law in which I do not feel comfortable .” Perhaps the fact that the State itself ignores responding to this question partly clarifies its situation and the importance it currently has.



According to statements by lawyer James Lewis, who represents Larsen, “ the trial could probably take place in 2023. ” Despite everything, this sentence leaves some facts in the air, the 65 million euros were given to Corinna before 2014, but claimed after that year, what situation are they in facing the trial? Can they be admitted? And returned?
