Duke, in all countries with Monarchy, there are republican groups, that is democracy... and sometimes these groups protest. Probably the Spanish are more noisy, both to applaud and to protest.
In the event at the Liceo, politicians were at the door waiting. Not only were people protesting, there were people applauding, wanting to greet and taking photos.
Recently the queen also visited some villages in Aragon and Catuña, affected by a flood, and was received with much affection.
Today the Queen is in Asturias, accompanied by the Minister of Industry who is hated by the miners. The miners organize a lot of demonstrations and protests, so they will not lose the opportunity. On the other hand, women of the miners want to give a letter to the Queen.
Prince and Princess will go tomorrow to a ceremony of the Navy in Galicia, and people from the naval industry that has a serious crisis and have problems with the European Union, will also protest.
The country's situation is bad, there are protests every day and of every kind, and that also applies to the Royal Family. They have to accept it and continue doing their work, and that is what they are doing.
