Corinna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein reveals explosive details about Juan Carlos in her podcast. In the last episode, she now reveals how she fought back after her affair with the Spanish old king – and draws a comparison with Duchess Meghan.
“Corinna and The King” is the name of the podcast that has been causing an uproar in the Spanish royal family for weeks. In it, Corinna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein, 58, speaks about her five-year liaison with the now disgraced and exiled Juan Carlos of Spain, 84, which began in 2004. In it, the entrepreneur, also known as Corinna Larsen, revealed the first financial abnormalities of the then monarch and emphasized that the old king had allegedly been persecuted and terrorized. The legal dispute in this regard continues to this day.
In the last episode of the podcast, she now talks about the suffering that happened to her after her royal affair and sees a parallel in it with Duchess Meghan, 41.
Corinna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein talks about media hounding
Corinna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein witnessed how Juan Carlos withdrew from public life in June 2019 and went into exile in Abu Dhabi in 2020. Their bank accounts, including those in the United States, have been closed. As a result, she hired a former FBI agent in 2021 to work with the police and solve the plot.
She has been written about again and again in a way that is similar to reporting on Prince Harry’s wife, 38. Like Meghan, she would have been the victim of a hate campaign. The entrepreneur therefore also identifies with the Duchess of Sussex, as the British media have behaved maliciously towards her and Meghan. Corinna says “being part of a circus performance, a very damaging one, in which I was the draft horse”. After all, it would always be the women who are attacked.
Corinna couldn’t forgive Juan Carlos
The 58-year-old later mentions that she was able to secure her possessions and real estate after the Swiss public prosecutor’s investigation was dropped. After that, she decided to file a lawsuit against Juan Carlos. For her part, it would be a last crusade to make sure her case “doesn’t happen again.” However, the aim of the podcast was not to substantiate their arguments in the lawsuit against Juan Carlos. “The fact that my children are aware of everything has motivated me to keep going. It helps me to find the meaning of getting out of bed and going through another hundred pages of documents. That they feel like their mother is an honest and decent person who has never lied to her,” she explains.
However, Juan Carlos could not forgive her, too much had happened for that: “An apology is always an apology and it can be justified or unjustified. But a simple apology is not enough in this case. It’s 10 years in which a family been torn apart.”
