Punctual to his appointment, this Monday the third chapter of the Corinna and the King podcast began to be broadcast through different digital platforms, in which Corinna Larsen attributes functions as adviser to King Juan Carlos. In the narration it is ensured that she showed him "classified government documents" and Corinna herself confirms it by adding that he "preferred to watch Western movies".
In the new chapter, entitled Envy, the businesswoman recounts how when she and she had been in a relationship for two years. according to the script read by the narrator of the "podcast", she "always ready to help, she begins to influence the king's decisions, not only about the palace, but also about Spain". "She told me," says Corinna, "you can see what this is about, or that she wrote a letter to him in English or French correctly." In her self-attributed role as a counselor, Corinna goes so far as to affirm that King Juan Carlos did not have anyone by his side to do that job, apparently forgetting that the Casa del Rey exists and that dozens of people work there to carry out these tasks. functions.
Corinna, demonstrating a total ignorance of how the Zarzuela works, even says that she advised King Juan Carlos to hire a young Spanish graduate from Harvard who spoke English correctly, and that the king did not want to because "he was afraid that strange people would enter his environment".
Along the same lines, Corinna talks about how the king's advisers began to envy her and, over time, plotted revenge against her". "You have to keep in mind that I get along very well with heads of state, with government ministers, with key players in the financial, business, artistic and cultural sectors from around the world, and I contributed a lot". "I asked the king for advice and he did the same. I would define him as a kind of power couple ". As he grew to influence Corinna, according to her version, he caused the envy of businessmen and politicians.
The podcast also recounts the moment Corinna entered the Zarzuela. The king, according to Corinna, wanted to show her what her room was like to show her that he had it full of photos of her, and, according to her version, he made her tour the palace. "He had an electronic door so that Queen Sofía, nor anyone on her team, would not pass. He told me that his wife, nor anyone on his staff had access to his rooms to prevent them from spying on him," says Corinna without taking into account that those who if they know the Zarzuela they could deny it point by point.
There is no lack in the story, references to Queen Sofia. Corinna narrates her first visit to the Zarzuela where she went accompanied by some friends, including a well-known orchestra director. While they were doing the tour of the official rooms, at a time, according to Corinna "unfortunately, Queen Sofia burst into one of the rooms with an angry face".
Corinna claims that he turned to her, saying "I know who you are", while the king was "stunned, bewildered, unable to cope". At this point, Corinna makes some derogatory comments about Queen Sofia and, she adds, in a merciless plan: "It was an embarrassing scene."
In the chapter, Corinna Larsen explains her inclusion in the official trip of the kings Juan Carlos and Sofía to Saudi Arabia, in 2006, referring to the negotiations for the concession of the AVE to Mecca. Without understanding the mechanism of the official visits, Corinna affirms that Queen Sofía signed up at the last moment when she knew that she would be in the delegation and that she would travel on the plane.
"For me it was a wicked moment. I was left aside and the king did nothing." She admits that although, after the trip, she was appointed consultant for the Spanish-Saudi investment fund, her inclusion on the trip generated many problems and, on her return, she was not admitted on the official plane and she traveled to London direct. Corinna attributes the "disaster" to the fact that her status as a woman "who stood on her own" was not admitted and that, from then on, she felt persecuted and the victim of a campaign in England to isolate her, which is why she moved to Monaco
In a leap in time, Corinna explains that, in 2008, on the occasion of King Juan Carlos's 70th birthday, he gave him seven silver figures representing elephants and a candlestick, which over the years increased to form a collection made up of seventy elephants and ten candlesticks, all silver, that adorned the tables when King Juan Carlos organized hunts.
Corinna remembers that the king was a great lover of hunting and that he used the hunts for business and "trading." "Unless you were invited to his hunts, you weren't part of his inner circle," she says. "His friends asked him for many favors and sometimes he complained to me."
The third chapter of the podcast includes the testimony of Alberto Saiz, director of the CNI (National Intelligence Center), who, in 2009, resigned from his position, two months after being confirmed after five years in the position, due to unproven accusations. of corruption. Saiz explains that Corinna went to see him because she wanted to convene a conference on intellectual property and wanted King Juan Carlos to preside over it. The former director of the CNI affirms that he suspected that Corinna intended to strengthen her business by using the image of the king. "It was a contaminating relationship" and that he alerted Zarzuela that Corinna intended to use the king. The failure of the initiative caused an argument between Juan Carlos and Sofía, although the sentimental relationship continued.
In January 2009, the king, according to Corinna's version, gave her a ring with three precious stones, a large jewel that she only wore in public among close friends who knew about the relationship, meetings in which he " proud", he taught it to everyone. This Monday, coinciding with the broadcast of the third chapter, the producer of the podcast has provided a photograph stating that it is the ring in question, although the podcast states that it is a platinum jewel with an emerald and two diamonds, and the photograph It looks more like a Fancy diamond ring (the most expensive) and two diamonds.
The delivery of the ring was preceded by a conversation between Juan Carlos and Corinna's father in which, apparently, the then king, who was then 70 years old, told Finn Bönning Larsen that his intentions with his daughter were to marry she. Corinna says that since he was married to Queen Sofia, "it was more symbolic than binding."
After the death of her father, King Juan Carlos, according to Corinna, confesses to her that during the seven months that she has been taking care of her father, he has had relations with another woman with whom he began a relationship three years ago. Corinna affirms that this woman was Sol Bacharach, a Valencian businesswoman, widow of Manuel Broseta, murdered by ETA in 1992. This supposed parallel relationship marks the beginning of the end of the relationship between Corinna and the king. "I discovered that she not only led a double life, but a quintuple life," she says spitefully.
The podcast expands on defining King Juan Carlos as a collector of lovers, "a womanizer who likes everyone, especially women from high society, executives and also celebrities such as singers and actresses." Corinna says that, unlike her, who was a woman of the world, the rest were "accessory women, mere objects of fantasy and passion", she even speaks disparagingly of Marta Gayá, while the narrator of the podcast lists a list that includes, Bárbara Rey and Queca Campillo.
The third chapter says goodbye with a preview of the fourth, in which Corinna Larsen gives her version of the trip to Botswana and the accident, after which the relationship abruptly breaks and revenge begins to take shape.
