Elsa M. said:Anybody who watches JC and Sofia together can clearly see they have a very strong relationship, an infinite tenderness and admiration for each other. If that is love or not, I don't know, nor do any of us. But in my opinion, if JC has ever cheated Sofia that doesn't mean he didn't ever love her.
That's what I've observed too. I don't see love at all, just respect. Wasn't Gabriela de Saboya the love of his life?Saturn said:Are you sure?? an infinite tenderness??? I think there is an infinite coldness between them and they just respect each other. If you watch Constantino and Anne-Maria you'll see what tenderness is.

Since I happen to be a huge fan of both of these people (as I consider them to be the creme de la creme of royalty today), I'll put in my 2 cents here too.crisiñaki said:You don't think that they must feel even a little love for each other to raise three wonderfull individuals like their children? where have they learnt what love is? why did they actually marry for love?
I don't believe the Spanish Kings feel a burning kind of love for each other but you have to remember that passion burns out while respect and admiration are the foundations for true everlasting matchs...
Besides, if they didn't love each other why did they face all the problems to get married in the first place? the change of religion, the karma of being Franco's sucession? if that's not love, what is?

Out of topic, but I have to say you have great avatar Alexandria. Beautiful as always.Alexandria said:I agree completely Elsa.
Firstly, Juan Carlos and Sofia are of a different generation. A generation of adults and of royals who were bred not to openly display their emotions, good or bad. And while the Queen has been photographed crying, I don't think we can expect a very obvious public display of affection between her and the King such as a big public, long smooch.
Secondly, the Spanish royal family is generally more reserved than other royal families. And even though the Queen was born Greek, we can't expect a picture of the King dipping the Queen and planting a big wet one on her!
And finally, some people just aren't into big public displays of affection. Some couples are happier to show their affection for each other in private and behind closed doors. This doesn't mean that they love each other any less than those who frequently make out or hang off of each other in public.

adelaide said:I would to speak about the "last love affair " ( this summer one) 's of JC in relation to his private trip in Germany, but I read all this thread and I agree totaly with its content.
First it's gossip, if it's not, it's a very private thing and i'm not to do add something.
adelaide said:If the private life of a Cheef of State, every where, is more stronger than the Political Affairs of the country is little beat worrying, isn't; in particular when the situation of this country is calling for many attention. I ever think that this kind of love's affair will be very private, King or not.But I am not teaching lesson
lula said:I believe that on the one hand the King Jefe of State is, and for other one the King presents.
Nobody doubts that the King has exercised a political very important role in Spain.
But really his life has been very complicated, and it has to affect him emotionally, and one asks himself how they are his feelings. We speak about a person that being a child he was isolated from his family and they sent him to study to a country where he was not anybody, in the shade of a dictator who handled his life how a game of chess. Since he was a child until he was A King his life it was a game of politics and power; that led even that his father was stopping speaking. How has it been his life? What does pass for his head? What is his family for him? Personally. I think that he must be a very unstable person from the emotional point of view...
In case of the Queen, for her the arrival of her grandsons has been a happiness, and seems that a new stage in her life, is something that really makes her happy how to any grandmother.
Madrid2006 said:It is possible that Juan Carlos is searching emotional stabilisation with his girlfriend.Family is maybe not so important to him like a woman who sees him like a normal man and not like a King, a woman who sees his other side and his other qualities, whatever this is.
lula said:He will be neither the first nor last one, whatever has to that age take refuge in a young woman. They are people of a certain generation with a certain education. Perhaps the women in that sense keep better the step of the years, and the changes in the life, are more independent, they are dedicated to make more things or they turn upside down in their family. I believe that in that sense the image of the Queen to gone to better and the one of the King to worse. The Queen has become a happy woman that enjoys his grandsons... perhaps the King also would have to learn to live that, but he belongs to a generation in which of the children the women are in charge. Pain would be one that having the possibility of seeing grow to his granddaughter day to day surely did not live that, because that him would make happy.

Unless there can be credible and solid evidence, not just "a friend told me" or "someone who works at Casa Real that I know" or a notorious anti-Spanish monarchy forum, then there can't be much further discussion along these lines.
And if there are going to be comments about the King being unhappy about family engagements or neglecting his country or his royal duties, then please provide evidence of that as well.
