Very good summary of events, LadyFinn. Thanks!

What was he going to do if the government refused? Not marry? Wait for a new government to be elected? It seems strange that they did things the other way around..

Bit off topic, has there been a formal announcement of any future title? Chris refused it and Jonas was going to be duke not prince..

Great videos on the casareal youtube channel. Leonor and Sofia were very well behaved but it looks like it was a hot day in Spain! The sun was clearly in their eyes on the balcony.

Thanks! Very moving moment when JC embraced his son and gave him his chair.

Any video clips yet?

Will any of our members be at the 'real thing'? We'll probably have a much better view on TV but it would be exciting to witness first hand. Sent from my GT-N7105 using The Royals Community mobile app

They can also get married without the King's consent and CP will lose his succession rights. I doubt the King would refuse permission though and the government is unlikely to veto unless Sofia has a criminal record or something..

So little Sofia takes precedent over the former king and queen?

Hopefully there'll also be catchup tv for people who aren't home during the day!

Did they release the cost for Estelle? Can't imagine it would be that far off Sent from my GT-N7105 using The Royals Community mobile app

Interesting article about the lead-up to the announcement. It seems only Felipe (and staff) was in the loop. http://elpais.com/elpais/2014/06/04/inenglish/1401876464_454314.html?rel=rosEP Sent from my GT-N7105 using The Royals Community mobile app

I assume the children will be there for part of the ceremonies? Sent from my GT-N7105 using The Royals Community mobile app

So does Felipe become King on 18th when his father abdicates? Sent from my GT-N7105 using The Royals Community mobile app
