It appears the escalating crisis in the Middle East has reached even royal households. According to several reports, Spain's former monarch Juan Carlos I has found himself caught in the shockwaves of rising tension linked to Iran. The 88 year old royal, who has lived in Abu Dhabi for five years, is currently unable to leave as regional tensions disrupt air travel.
The former king has felt the impact of the growing conflict, with reports of closed airspace and cancelled flights limiting movement across parts of the region. Sources say he remains 'calm and safe' in the United Arab Emirates despite the uncertainty.
