NewzKing Juan Carlos I received the Saint-Simon Prize in La Ferté-Vidame, France, on Sunday, accompanied by his granddaughters. The award honors his memoirs, titled 'Reconciliación,' which were co-written with Laurence Debray to present his version of recent history.
During the event, the Spanish monarch described the memoirs as his "final legacy" to the Spanish people. He stated that regardless of where he lives, he will always belong to Spain, and noted that the book, along with democratic institutions, has allowed him to live in peace over the past fifty years.
Reflecting on the publication, the king characterized his decision to write the memoirs as being "more reckless than prudent." The release serves as an effort by the former monarch to document his perspective on his reign and history.
