from an article at elmundo.es.

También el Rey Juan Carlos ha enviado un telegrama al nuevo Papa en el que, en su nombre y en el de la Reina, le expresa su "más sincera y afectuosa felicitación". "Rogamos a Dios para que os aliente e ilumine en vuestro ministerio apostólico, para el bien de la cristiandad y de todas las naciones y pueblos de la tierra".

Los Reyes presidirán la delegación española que el próximo domingo asistirá en la Plaza de San Pedro, en el Vaticano, a la solemne proclamación de Benedicto XVI.

Thanks, Marezdote, for the news.
Here's the translation for our friends:

King Juan Carlos sent a telegram to the new Pope where, in his own and the Queen's name, he expressed the most sincere wishes "and an affectionate congratulation". "We pray to God so that he may encourage and illuminate you in your apostolic ministry, for the Good of Cristians and of all the nations and peoples of the Earth".
The King and Queen will preside over the Spanish delegation that will attend, next Sunday, at S. Peter's in the Vatican, the solemn proclamation of Benedict XVI.

from informativos.telecinco.es:

La nueva imagen de Magneto, uno de los personajes clásicos de los cómics Marvel, es exactamente igual a la única fotografía oficial del Rey Juan Carlos con uniforme de Capitán General de los Ejércitos.


La foto del Rey y la del nuevo Magneto, que este verano aparecerá en los quioscos dentro de la serie The Pulse: House Of M es prácticamente igual. En ambos casos, incluso, una de las medallas está situada por encima de la banda. Las dos imágenes comparten, igualmente, el fondo.

La fotografía del Rey Juan Carlos fue realizada por Alberto Schommer y tiene, por supuesto, copyright. En la página de la Casa Real esta es la única fotografía en la que Don Juan Carlos aparece con el uniforme de Capitán General de los Ejércitos. Evidentemente, no existe ningún rango mayor.

Los seguidores de los cómics de Marvel están expectantes ante la nueva entrega de la saga y sus universos paralelos. El cómic en cuestión forma parte de los llamados “What if” o "Qué hubiera pasado si..." en el que un joven Magneto llega a ser el Rey de los mutantes.

La noticia ya ha tenido eco en algunos blogs como La cárcel de papel.

Translation:



The new image of Magneto, one of the classic Marvel’s comics, looks exactly the same as the only official photo of King Juan Carlos, in a uniform of Captain-general of the army.

The photo of the King and the one of the new Magneto that will be in the kiosks next summer, as part of the series «The Pulse: House Of M» are practically equal. In both cases, even one of the medals is hanged over the band. The two images share the scenary as well.

The photo of King Juan Carlos was taken by Alberto Schommer and thus has obviously copyright. On the Royal House’s webpage, this is the only photo in which Don Juan Carlos appears with the uniform of Captain-general of the army. Evidently, it doesn’t exist any higher rank.

The followers of Marvel’s comics are anxious for the new saga and its parallel universes. This Comic belongs to the series "What if…" or "What would happen if...", in which a young Magneto gets to be the King of the mutants.

The news has already echoed in some blogs as La cárcel de papel..
