Spain's former king Juan Carlos has been living in the United Arab Emirates since 3 August, the Spanish royal palace has confirmed, putting an end to speculation over his whereabouts.
On 3 August the ex-king made the shock announcement that he was leaving Spain amid a corruption investigation.
The 82-year-old travelled to the UAE on 3 August "and he remains there", a spokesman said, giving no more details.
The ex-king's finances are under scrutiny in a major corruption probe.
He denies any wrongdoing and has said he is available if prosecutors need to interview him.
