Albert Solà

Albert Solà i Jiménez (1956 – 8 October 2022) was a Spanish man who claimed to be the illegitimate son of King Juan Carlos I.

Born in Barcelona and adopted in the Province of Girona, also in Catalonia, Solà said that he was told by a judge that he was the king's son; the judge in question denied this. In 2012, he took a DNA test with Belgian fellow claimant Ingrid Sartiau that showed 91% similarity between them, but did not include a sample from the king. After Juan Carlos I abdicated in 2014, the pair sued him in the Supreme Court of Spain, with Solà's suit being dismissed.

Solà worked as a waiter in La Bisbal d'Empordà and wrote an autobiography in 2019. He died suddenly in 2022, aged 66. Provided by Wikipedia
