Is this not just part of what is called progress, where the old is replaced by the new,

perhaps Spain will be benefit from this, or then again perhaps not,
but only time will tell if the Spanish monarchy carries on or falls.

Will be interesting to see if any British royals go after Spain snubbed the jubilee celebrations.

More silliness from these stuffy, outdated Spagnolos. Argentina so much better than Spain.

I'm so much in agreement with you dear friend.
Argentina has a far better despotic queen who is able to control her country with a firm grip and destroy the economy at a far more rapid rate than any dictator of Europe. Oh yes, I forgot to add that CFK has far more class, modesty and admiration than any monarch in Europe...

Charlie said to Felipe while they were watching ponced up Spanish cowards mincing around the square “look son, I know I have fucked up, well I fucked all the girls who would let me, but you know your mom never says anything.”

“So it’s up to you know to straighten all this mess out otherwise we’ll all be out on the street and down to our last billion or two of US Dollars. Remember, never touch the Pesos, that’s only for the scum and whatch that idiot Rajoy and the other twat Gollum2, they are definitely rung-uns”

“But also remember you are the King now and make sure the bastards treat you well”.

With that, Charlie staggered away to the car ably supported by a pair a nubile Spanish chicas.

:o)
