I saw 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno' last week when he had Teri Hatcher (of 'Desperate Housewives') and she recounted how she met the King in Portugal (it might have been during the Laureus Awards at Casino Estoril or at some boat race). I think she said that they were seated together and how he played with her daughter's ponytail. In any case, Jay Leno asked her if the King is single to which she replied that he is. Then Jay Leno went on to ask if she had thought of maybe becoming involved with her and she said that she doesn't think she can handle the pressure.

I was confused because, despite what the rumors may be, the King is not single.

I was confused because, despite what the rumors may be, the King is not single.

Well, I didn't see the show, but I guess they were referring to the fact that King Juan Carlos went to Lisbon without the Queen... i.e. single

I saw her tell the same story on Regis and Kelly. I think she was just confused because Sofia wasn't with him, so she assumed he was single.

Sus Majestades los Reyes han presidido en Tudela el acto oficial de conmemoración del 300 aniversario del Real Despacho de Felipe V, por la que se cedieron los derechos sobre las Bardenas Reales a las 22 entidades congozantes. Don Juan Carlos, antes de comenzar sus palabras, expresó en su nombre y en el de Su Majestad la Reina, su más "rotunda condena" ante el "cobarde" atentado terrorista perpetrado en Madrid con la explosión de un coche-bomba, y transmitió su afecto a los heridos y su pronta recuperación. El Rey también mostró su "alegría y satisfacción" al estar nuevamente en Navarra y compartir esta celebración con las 22 entidades congozantes; los 19 Ayuntamientos riberos, los valles pirenaicos de Roncal y Salazar, y el Monasterio de la Oliva, e indicó que el encuentro "sirve para afianzar las históricas relaciones que, desde hace tantos a existen entre la Corona y las Bardenas", tras reconocer el "tesoro" que suponen las Bardenas Reales de Navarra.

An article about yesterday's visit to Navarre:

http://actualidad.terra.es/articulo/ssmm_reyes_tudela_bardenas_reales_318389.htm

Don Juan Carlos and Doña Sofía presided yesterday in Tudela over the commemoration of the third centenary of the Royal Certificate of king Felipe V of Castile and VII of Navarre, by which the rights of the Royal Bardenas were yielded to the twenty-two organizations of this territory.

The King dedicated the first words of his speech to condemn the attack perpetrated that morning in Madrid. The most important moment of the commemorative act arrived when His Majesty the King gave the 22 representatives of Bardenas a parchment that reproduces the Royal Certificate signed by Felipe V in 1705.

Before this act and the lunch that took place in Tudela, the King and Queen visited the Bardenas, a territory of 41845 hectares, located in the Southeast of Navarre, between the mountain range of Yugo and the Aragonese region of Cinco Villas.

That's what I thought. I guess it would have been clearer if she said he came alone, not with his wife instead of using "single" which usually denotes that one is not married. Thanks for the clarifications!

Anyone can say me which designers uses the queen? I saw a outfit from Prada in oficial event.

I've heard that she mostly wears Spanish designers. I found that from time to time she wears international brands as well:

1) Escada.
2) I may be wrong but this looks like Chanel.

 

[rchainho]

and whta about spanish designers?
