Will the Kings abdication help or hinder Spain at this time?
 

Any thoughts anyone?

I think it will be ok. He has been enjoying a bit of bad press lately. Just like ours in England do from time to time. His son might be more in touch with the younger generation. The history is fascinating. Only 40 years ago he was asked back from exile by Franco. He has been the only King of Spain since the 1930's. His wife is Greek and sister to the exiled would be King of Greece who lived for 30 years in London. How does an exiled King spend his time away from his country? I wonder how it feels to be asked back?
Constantine of Greece hasn't been asked back. He has gone back to Athens having had the good fortune of selling his London pad for 9million++ and buying cheap in Greece!! He is cousin to the Duke of Edinburgh and is godfather to our future King William.
