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.

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.
