Overview

• Editorial Planeta confirmed on June 30 that Reconciliación will be published on November 12, 2025, to coincide with the half-century mark of Juan Carlos’s 1975 proclamation
• The book was compiled from conversations with Laurence Debray and will appear in Spanish and French editions simultaneously with an English translation forthcoming
• Juan Carlos frames the memoir as a personal act of legacy preservation, addressing his exile in Estoril, voluntary departure to Abu Dhabi and pivotal role in Spain’s democratic transition
• The former monarch says he defied his father’s advice against writing memoirs because he felt his history was being stolen
• No official Casa del Rey or government events are planned for the anniversary, making the publication a unilateral commemorative statement
