'Womaniser' King of Spain tried to seduce Princess Diana

London, Jan 24 (ANI): The King of Spain, Juan Carlos, had apparently made a 'tactile' advance on Princess Diana while she was on a holiday with Prince Charles in Majorca in the 1980s, a new biography has claimed.

The book has also alleged that Carlos is a 'professional seducer' who has had numerous affairs and has not shared a bed with his wife for the past 35 years.

And it reveals that age has not stopped the 74-year-old, with the monarch regularly receiving vitamin injections and anti-ageing treatments, the Daily Mail reported.

The Solitude of the Queen by Pilar Eyre, which will most probably be proved controversial in the Catholic country, follows the much-derided allegations made in 2004 by Lady Colin Campbell that the princess had a fling with Juan Carlos while on a cruise in August 1986 and then again the following April.

During a 1987 visit, in which Charles and Diana went to Madrid, the king was clicked smiling as he kissed the princess on the hand - a gesture, which left Diana looking embarrassed.

Miss Eyre's book has also asserted that Queen Sofia has not slept in the marital bed since 1976 and only remains in the marriage out of 'a sense of duty'. (ANI)
