As a grandson to deposed King Alfonso XIII, Juan Carlos was an Infante of Spain from birth. His father Infante Juan, Count of Barcelona became Head of the Royal House after his father's and elder brother's deaths and his other elder brother's renunciation. Juan Carlos thus became titular Prince of Asturias,[1] the title traditionally held by the heir to the Spanish throne. In 1969, twelve years after the Law of Succession to the Headship of the State, the Spanish dictator Francisco Franco skipped Infante Juan and designated Juan Carlos as his successor, with the title Prince of Spain.[2] On Franco's death in 1975, he thus became King of Spain.
