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....! 
I was mystified about these comments as they seemed to have seen a different King of Spain as I did...

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.
