The State Opening of The Cortes

[Duke of Marmalade]

Queen Sofia is the best actress I've ever seen in that respect, in public she would have warm small talk with her worst enemy and you wouldn't notice.

The footage is really awkward and amateur. They should learn how to present it. The royals should be focussed only during the key moments.. Not their off-time. Maybe they can learn a thing or two from the British or Danish Opening, when to focus on whom and when not to..
BTW is it necessary to bring such young girls? It is also a distraction for the K&Q..making sure all the time the girls are OK..

Thank you, Lula.


Could you please inform us which political parties boycotted the state opening for not recognizing the King's authority ?


Could you please also identify which decorations the King is wearing on a long necklace or collar ? I cannot see them clearly.
