Spanish former king does not have to undergo a paternity test

The Spanish former king Juan Carlos definitely does not have to undergo a paternity test, something that has been hanging over his head for a long time. He was charged with a woman who demanded that he donate DNA to find out if she turned out to be his illegitimate daughter. There will be no paternity test, based on a ruling by the Supreme Court in Madrid.

Charges dismissed by the Supreme Court

It was a charge from Belgium, from a woman who is convinced that Juan Carlos is her father. She appealed several times and eventually ended up with the Supreme Court in Madrid. This body recently issued a ruling and indicated that the former King does not have to undergo a paternity test, according to them there are insufficient indications that there is a biological relationship.

Peace of mind from DNA test

The woman from Belgium is Ingrid Sartiau, who comes from Kruibeke near Antwerp. She indicates that in 1965 her mother had an affair with Juan Carlos in Marbella, Spain. He was then the prince, he later became king of Spain. Sartiau emphasizes that she is not after money or a title, she just wants clarity about who her father is. A paternity test is ideal for that

No paternity test for the former King

The Supreme Court has now ruled that Juan Carlos will not have to undergo a paternity test. He was King of Spain from November 1975 to June 2014 and was then succeeded by his son King Felipe VI. It was unclear for a long time whether a paternity test would eventually come.
