Juan Carlos whith a beard looks like very much at a portrait of Felipe II of Spain. I know Felipe II was not a Borbon but he is nevertheless the Juan Carlos 's ancestor and with his beard on this pic, the ressemblance is amaizing.

I can't help but love the Queen, so naturally elegant and sophisticated. Yet at the same time so down to earth and touchable. There are very few queens reigning today with these qualities. Some may be elegant but lack that "human" touch. Spain is very fortunate to have here and JC made a wonderful choice for himself and his country.

Redferns would it be possible to post the article here? Thankyou!
Ok I grabbed my glasses and managed to get a good idea of the article. Thanks!!! I like the part about Kárate! The Queen says that when she was in Prague, the security person that was assigned to her was telling her that he had to train in Karate. So she answered to him that she had also trained in it once when working. She says that the man was never sure whether or not she was playing a joke on him, but she had indeed become a green belt!  The article is very good! It makes me admire Queen Sofia even more!  Last edited by Elsa M.; 08-02-2006 at 11:44 AM. Reason: To merge posts |

Redferns,
Thank you very much for taking time to scan all these pages and for sharing with us... After reading her own words one gets the idea that the article could go on without an end. She is very tender person and with both feet on the ground. Pictures are awesome too. Thank you once again for sharing! Regards, mtbcm |

"Wonderful article---she seems to be a very down to earth and good hearted person. i like the way she speaks of the king! also i wonder whether this was an oral interview, because if so she expresses herself very well!"
What does she say about the King?  |

What a lovely article!
I love the fact that she almost always calls the King "Juanito". My favourite part was this one when she went to the hospitall in order to be with her former nanny...
