Alejandra de Rojas, who was identified by various media last week as a descendant of Juan Carlos I, has "categorically" denied, in a statement sent to EFE, that she is the "secret daughter" of the emeritus king.
In his first public pronouncement, De Rojas has stated: "Given the news published last week as a preview of a book that is trying to be published shortly, and the endless news published in the press, radio, television and social networks about me, I I am forced to emphatically deny my status as the 'secret daughter' of King Juan Carlos, as well as all the comments made about an alleged special treatment received during my childhood or youth, due to that false status".
"The news that has been published has no foundation and causes almost irreparable damage to my entire family and of course to myself, for which reason I reserve the right to take legal action against the authors and propagators of the same," he added. .
He also reiterates his admiration and gratitude to his parents, now deceased, to whom he says he owes everything "and whose honor is safe for all those who knew them."

Palacios was married to Eduardo de Rojas, fifth Count of Montarco, who died in August 2005.
Last Friday, King Juan Carlos denied having had an out-of-wedlock relationship with the aristocrat Rosario Palacios, as has been reported in various media in recent days, and "consequently having had a daughter with her."
In statements to EFE, the king emeritus explained that "out of respect for the truth and honor" of the people affected, he is forced to deny this information "rejecting and condemning as false everything that has been published in relation to this invented matter."
"I absolutely deny having had any love affair with Mrs. Rosario Palacios (q.e.p.d.) and consequently having had a daughter with her," stressed the former head of state.
Sources from the Royal House had already denied Efe on Thursday having knowledge that King Juan Carlos had a secret daughter, as stated in various journalistic reports.
