Answer 1

He had sisters,Pilar and Margarita, and a younger brother named Alfonso . The website of the Spanish Royal Household, http://www.casareal.es/sm_rey/index-iden...

says this about the King and the book There Are Still Kings by Boulay and Jaundel are my sources.The Royal Household of His Majesty website says:

"His Majesty the King was born on 5 January 1938 in Rome where the Royal Family was living, having had to leave Spain when the Republic was proclaimed in 1931. His parents were Juan de Borbon y Battenberg, Count of Barcelona and Head of the Spanish Royal Household since his father, King Alfonso XIII, relinquished this status, and Maria de las Mercedes de Borbon y Orleans.

At the express wish of his father, he was educated in Spain as from the age of ten, after a period as a boarder at the Marianist school in the Swiss town of Fribourg. His parents, meanwhile, had been living since 1946 in the coastal town of Estoril in Portugal... "and the book,

There Are Still Kings, by Laure Boulay and Francoise Jaudel, states that Juan Carlos had to leave his mother and sisters and his French governess to move to Spain.His younger brother, Alfonso,moved to Spain with him.
