“Corinna and the king” vertelt het ongelooflijke ware verhaal van een liefdesaffaire die de Spaanse koninklijke familie op de knieën bracht. Toen Corinna, een wereldse en goed verbonden zakenvrouw, verliefd werd op Juan Carlos I, de koning van Spanje, leek hij te groot om te mislukken. Hun geheime romance strekte zich uit over continenten, maar het uiteenvallen ervan opende een venster naar een gevaarlijke wereld van hebzucht, corruptie en misdaad. Grote reservoirs van verborgen rijkdom; internationale spionage en samenzwering; schandalen, olifantenjacht en onstuitbare lust… allemaal terug te voeren op een van de meest geheime koningshuizen ter wereld.
Corinna and the King is the unbelievable true story of a love affair that brought the Spanish royal family to its knees. When Corinna, a worldly and well-connected businesswoman, fell in love with Juan Carlos I, the king of Spain, he seemed too big to fail. Their secret romance stretched across continents, but its unraveling would open a window into a dangerous world of greed, corruption, and crime. Vast pools of hidden wealth; international espionage and conspiracy; scandal, elephant hunting, and unstoppable lust… all tracing back to one of the most secretive royalties in the world.
