Beautiful pics, ldt20, esp. the first one. I have heard the "story" about it, but I haven't seen the picture before

 

[ladejesus]

ldt20 thank you so much for the pics they're fantastic. He seems to be a really cool guy to just be around.

I just found this:

click on the Video de la Entronización de su muy Alta y Augusta Majestad el Rey de España

it shows moments of the enthronement of King Juan Carlos of Spain

Thank you crisiñaki for the link.

I can't get over ow well behaved Prince Felipe and the Infantas are correctly seated and behaved during the entire cerimony. And the Queen checking through the corner of the eye from time to time.

It was very nice to see, thank you for sharing.

Regards,
mtbcm

you're welcome girls!
I posted it 'cuz I know many of us weren't born or old enough or royalty fans at that time and for that reason we didn't see the MOST important moment of the family in the past century and it was a shame because by watching the video you can understand some things about Spain at the time and the position every member of the SRF had to sustain!

What a great finding, Elsa, thanks a lot for posting it! Tiny and cute Felipe and the ladies looking at him interested and maybe thinking "what a little wonder"..

 

[RhapsodyBrat]

a unique photo from Photoshot: Don Juan de Borbon ceding his dynastic rights to Juan Carlos I. at Don Juan's right is Doña María de las Mercedes. i'm guessing Infanta Cristina was cut out of the photo or she wasn't there.

 

[*SofiaM*]

wow thanks alot Rhap! That is such an important picture in the case of the SRF. I hadn't seen it before!

 

[vodkanokas]

What are the infantas wearing?! Great pics. Thanks iceflower. I love how even when infanta elena is curtseying to QE she is still almost as tall as her.

The good ol' 80's, but I've seen them wearing worse things!
and about the height, well Infanta Elena is 5'10, I guess with heels she can easily reach 6' and QE is just 5'4 so it's logical

 

[iceflower]

You are most welcome, ladejesus

The good ol' 80's, but I've seen them wearing worse things!

Indeed, compared to other dresses, these are quite okay In addition to that it seems as if all four ladies have matched their colours and dresses - that's nice to look at.

I've made several screencaps of the German TV show "Majestät" that was shown on Tuesday with a very nice retrospective of the family, hope you enjoy

The king being interviewed about certain events in his life:

You are also most welcome, Lachica and Mon

I mostly made screencaps from the early years, but the scenes from the Olympic games in 1992 were so nice - especially as Elena was so proud that she cried..

Beautiful photos iceflower! Thank you!!

 

[iceflower]

I always loved the pic where Infanta Elena is crying , as she was watching her brother with Spain flag.

Me too, it shows how much love there is between the sibblings..

I'm glad you all liked the screencaps, here are some more:
Sofia and the kids during an interview held in German, Sofia spoke about how important it was to raise and educate the children as normal as possible, that she wanted them to visit public schools just like she had done it and that she herself had worked as a nurse for children besides her duties as a princess.
