It's a photo-book about royal events around the world. The quality of a lot of the pictures is very very bad. I believe that it is not a worthy book.
Regards!

While moving stuff around I came across a book that I read years ago - a fascinating read about Juan Carlos's unbelievable life and life achievements and the personal sacrifices that went along with it.
Almost like a thriller, you couldnt make it up.
Juan Carlos: Steering Spain from Dictatorship to Democracy by Paul Preston

 it is!
Its easy to understand why the King has remained untouchable for gossips for so long and still enjoys quite a few privileges these days (the opposite will be on for Felipe, once the time will come).
Further, its easy to understand why the King has had the desire to be his "own man" in the last decade(s) and that there is truth to the "open secret" (even in the non-gossip media) that the relationship to Queen Sofia is no more than a working relationship that still exists mainly because she chose to hang in there.

I wonder what secrets from the past will emerge after His Majesty passes away?

I could imagine that he would pull a Prince Bernhard stunt incl revealing some illegitimate children post-mortem 
I have no doubt that he would get away with that in the public eye, the Dutch had a lot of compassion for their consort's testemony.
