The royal family announced this surprisingly on Sunday evening. In addition, Juan Carlos, who had abdicated in favor of his son six years ago, will have his salary cut, according to the royal family. The Altkönig (82) had recently received around 194,000 euros a year from the Bourbon household budget. “Felipe breaks the connections to his father,” wrote the newspaper “El Mundo”.
