EXILED Spanish former king Juan Carlos has denied he had an affair with Princess Diana, describing her as “cold”.
The notorious womaniser, now 87, said nothing happened between them.
Royal watchers suggested he may have seduced Diana at the Palace of Marivent in Mallorca when she visited with the then Prince Charles in the late 1980s.
In his yet to be published memoirs, he said Diana was “cold, taciturn, distant” save in the presence of the paparazzi.
Di’s biographer Andrew Morton said she considered Juan Carlos, who abdicated in 2014, as “very libidinous” and “a little too attentive”.
According to his book Ladies of Spain, she told friends: “I felt uncomfortable being left alone with him in a room.”

This comes after it was revealed Diana once praised Camilla for being a “loyal and discreet” mistress in her affair with Charles.
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told the packed audience at News UK that Diana opened up when she invited her for tea at Kensington Palace.
The former Princess of Wales — who died in 1997, leaving behind sons Harry and William — discussed her failing marriage to the then Prince Charles and his relationship with Camilla.
Diana later spoke on the record in the discredited Panorama interview with Martin Bashir who, it emerged, faked documents to persuade her to talk.
Jennie said: “She was complicated and confusing but I liked her a lot. She invited me to the Palace a couple of times for talks.
“We had long, long, long chats and she told me everything practically, almost everything in Panorama, before Panorama.
“She said, ‘There were three of us in this marriage’, and whether she had affairs and her view on Camilla. She told me she thought that Camilla was loyal and discreet and deserved some form of recognition.”
