Not a problem  Yes, Daniela Schadt does full duties as First Lady, even though they are not married. People don't bother much. There was so much controversy about Gauck's predecessor Wulff and his drama queen wife, that people are now happy with an unpretentious and well liked president couple. Gauck is a well respected figure in the fight against Eastern German dictatorship, as a pastor he played an important role in the peaceful movement that lead to German Unification.

I was mystified about these comments as they seemed to have seen a different King of Spain as I did...  |
I honestly haven't seen any footage but judging by the pics to me Letizia was even glowing... I've seen them tense or serious other times than this... Oh well...maybe the commentator wanted to hold the audience's attention

Perhaps he was just cold and not used to the chill of a Berlin Winters day!
