Scandal-Plagued Ex-King Juan Carlos To Release Memoirs
The former King of Spain, Juan Carlos, is writing a book about his life.
He was once loved for helping Spain become a democracy, but had to give up being king because of some scandals.
These scandals included a relationship and accusations of financial wrongdoing, which were investigated but no charges were filed.
The new book, called 'Reconciliation,' will share stories about his time as king and his personal life.
He says he's writing it because he feels his story is being misrepresented.
Former Spanish King Juan Carlos will publish his memoirs.
The memoirs, titled 'Reconciliation,' will cover his contributions to Spain's democracy.
Juan Carlos abdicated in 2014 due to scandals and is in self-imposed exile.
