    Relationships between Members of the Spanish Royal Family

    Actually, I believe there were talks about it and some disagreements back in the 70's, but in the end they kept the traditional Castilian succession to the Crown by request of Juan Carlos. It would've been changed already if the Crown wasn't so protected in the Constitution. Even a tiny little...

    The Princess of Asturias and Infanta Sofía, News Part 1: June 2014 -

    I remember reading like two years ago that some classmate of Leonor asked her why she appeared in all her grandmother's magazines, and she said she did because she lived "in a Prince's house". :rofl: They definitely know they're different from other children. They know they are Princess of...

    Future and Popularity of the Spanish Monarchy

    And don't forget a lot of people had left Madrid since it was holyday. Also many people didn't know there would be a ride through the city after the proclamation, and those who live in the outskirts could not get there on time. In any case, I'm glad some of you got the opportunity to see that...

    Titles, Names, Succession & Precedence after King Felipe's Accession

    It's the same in Spain. Letizia would regent until Leonor became 18. I also read that Elena, despite not being part of the Royal Family anymore, will be the one to take on Leonor's "official agenda" and represent the Crown in her name until she becomes 18.

    Proclamation of King Felipe VI: June 19, 2014

    The governor of Galicia (not Galatia :tongue:) is from the Popular Party. He definitely respects the King, unlike the other two. Separatism in Galicia is almost non-existent.

    Future and Popularity of the Spanish Monarchy

    Sometimes I feel media disinforms more than it informs. :lol: They exaggerate everything. No need to worry in my opinion. Some republicans/far left people took the abdication as an opportunity to protest, like they protest for everything. It doesn't represent a real change in people's minds, it...

    Future and Popularity of the Spanish Monarchy

    I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic :lol: But I was precisely saying that noone dislikes her because of that. I mean if you suggested that in year 1275, maybe, but we are way past that point by now. :lol:

    Future and Popularity of the Spanish Monarchy

    I don't think so. Some people may dislike her or think she's not adequate because she's not royal and she's divorced, but that's it. If Letizia had Maxima's demeanour I assure you she would be liked here despite her backround. It's much more about how cold, stiff and bossy she seems. I think...

    Future and Popularity of the Spanish Monarchy

    Yes, a referendum could be made. 2/3 of the Congress and the Senate would have to be in favour of such referendum; then the Congress and the Senate would dissolve, and the new Congress and Senate would have to vote again, with 2/3 of favorable votes just to have a referendum. Only then people...

    Future and Popularity of the Spanish Monarchy

    It's true they are a minority. These kind of protests are usually organized by far-left parties/independists/anarchists. They have always existed, they have always been noisy, some even violent, and have always protested against anything that doesn't suit their ideology. It's not like big...

    King Juan Carlos Announces Abdication: June 2, 2014

    I think it is extremely unlikely that Spain becomes a Republic anytime soon, even with all the scandals involving the Monarchy.

    King Juan Carlos Announces Abdication: June 2, 2014

    I don't think so. I think there's a "protest" planned for today at 20:00 in Madrid, but I don't think there's a general feeling that a referendum should be made. It's usually the republicans and/or lefty parties interested in taking down the monarchy but I don't think they're a majority. They...
