I think you´re right! The german commentators of the live coverage kept on stating how "tensed" and "insecure" the King looked and that he´s still needed time to fit into his role....!:ermm:
I was mystified about these comments as they seemed to have seen a different King of Spain as I did...:whistling:

They all seem to be freezing during the welcome ceremony. Nice colour for the queen, red suits her very well.

I know they visited the Brandenburg Gate already, but I wonder if Felipe and Letizia will visit it at night sometime. I visited Berlin with some friends a few years ago, and we saw the Brandenburg Gate at night and it was spectacular. I loved how it illuminated in different colours. I also wonder if Felipe and Letizia will visit Charlottenburg Palace, it's one of my favourite Royal Palaces.

I don't know much about President Guack, but I read that he has a partner, who I think is called Daniel Shack (or something similar). Why wasn't she present at when Felipe and Letizia met President Guack and Angela Merkel? I understand that she is his partner, though I also read that sometimes the President's partner acts as First Lady (e.g. Valerie Trierweiler).

Not sure what you mean? Gauck is in a long-term relationship with Daniela Schadt, a journalist, who acts as first lady. Today, she received F&L together with President Gauck. There is some controversy about it because Gauck is a pastor and is still married to his first wife but separated for decades.

Angela Merkel is married to a Professor of chemistry, a high level scientist. He is hardly ever present in Merkels work life.

The Mayor of Berlin, Klaus Wowereit, is gay and has a partner. Sometimes he is present but today he wasnt.

It was just something I heard. Forgive me as I'm not German nor am I knowledgeable about Germany, so I might have got that incorrect. I meant that the partner of the President sometimes performs the same duties that a First Lady would, even though she isn't married to the President.

Not a problem :flowers: 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 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!
