Spain’s King and Queen will not be celebrating their Golden Wedding anniversary in any fashion, the country’s royal court has confirmed.
King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia’s announcement that they will hold neither a public nor private party on May 14 has fuelled speculation they are actually ‘estranged’.
In recent months they have rarely been seen out in public, and rumours have abounded of the King’s ‘roving eye’ – with some suggesting he has bedded more than 1,500 women.

But others claim the move is designed to appease Spaniards still angry with their monarch for going on a lavish £27,000 elephant hunting safari in Botswana last month.
The extravagant trip, which only came to light when the 74-year-old returned to Spain after breaking his hip, came as the number of jobless in the country soared to almost one in four.
His sheepish and unprecedented act of royal contrition, said as he stood outside the Madrid hospital where he was operated, went some way to healing his relationship with the public.
A lack of a party, observers say, will again show the King is in some way getting back in touch with his subjects and willing to undergo the same austerity.

The decision is in stark contrast to
their 1987 silver wedding anniversary, when couples from all over Spain
who wed on the same 1962 day attended a party at the Zarzuela palace.
And it comes during a tricky time for the King, who is facing his first bout of criticism from the Spanish press.

They
have often been reluctant to criticise the man who relinquished power
to ensure a successful transition to democracy following the death of
dictator Francisco Franco in the late 1970s.
But
the mood has changed since the controversial African elephant hunt,
with some even making calls for him to abdicate and hand over power to
his son Prince Felipe.
The
rumours of his alleged infidelities are also increasing, even in the
Spanish press, with claims surfacing in several books that he is a
real-life Don Juan.
Just three months ago an explosive
book, by Barcelona-based author Pilar Eyre, claimed he was a ‘serial
womaniser’ who had bedded more than 1,500 women.
The
Solitude of the Queen labelled him a ‘professional seducer’ who once
tried to seduce Princess Diana and who has had numerous affairs.
It
said that he has not shared a bed with his wife Queen Sofia for the
past 35 years and claimed she stumbled upon her husband with one of his
alleged lovers, the Spanish film star Sara Montiel, at a friend’s
country house in Toledo in 1976.
Following the ill-fated hunting trip, reports also said Queen Sofia only visited him at his bedside for 26 minutes.
It
prompted royal commentator and former director of ABC newspaper, Jose
Antonio Zarzalejos, to say: ‘The failure of his marriage to Queen Sofia,
from whom he is practically separated, is public knowledge.’
There are also claims he has been in a
‘relationship’ with a woman 28 years his junior for six years. She was
alleged to have been on the Botswana trip with him.
It has not been a good time for the once much-loved royal family.

The
King’s son-in-law Inaki Urdangarin is a suspect in a corruption case,
accused of using his position to embezzle several million euros in
public contracts through a not-for-profit foundation.
The King has sought to distance himself from the case in recent months.
But
this week he was dragged into the thick of it after reports emerged of
emails allegedly implicating him in the business dealings.
Then,
over Easter, the king’s 13-year-old grandson shot himself in the foot
with a shotgun, even though by law in Spain you must be 14 to handle a
gun.
Polls this month revealed Juan Carlos’ popularity is at its lowest since he came to the throne in 1975.
The Catalan town of Berga last week even took the radical step of voting him a ‘persona non grata’.
His
recovery from hip replacement surgery also means he will miss Queen
Elizabeth II’s official Diamond Jubilee celebration lunch at Windsor
Castle on May 18.
Queen Sofia will travel alone to attend the event

I have followed the royal familes from Europe and the Scandinavian countries for years – guess because we don’t have royal familes in the States. Queen Sophia always seems to be so gracious and lovely in all her activities. The King, on the other hand, seemed rather distant. I’m sorry if the media is correct about their marriage and his “ways” and just admire her even more.

They have led separate lives for years. I feel sorry for her. She has always been a true lady with irreproachable conduct.

It will be better when his son becomes king, the old king is out of touch with our country.
The choice to not have a fiesta is due to the austerity measures being implemented, they have to look as though they are cutting back also.
Our royals are not as bad as the Brit royals, at least ours act human and will touch/talk with the common people.
The queen, his son and his wife are good people, sincere and the people like them a lot, the king lately not so much.

Well for a man who kills elephants for fun and commits adultery with other women, I really cannot blame Queen Sofia for distancing herself from such a vile man. I hope she can find peace. God bless her.

Anyone who gets pleasure from shooting an elephant cannot in any way be a pleasant person. Sick, depraved and arrogant waste of oxygen.

Here in Spain the royal family have no particular affection among the Spanish anyway. But the royals do care about the country and the people to some extent. Unlike the British royal family – easily the most expensive to maintain in Europe, dysfunctional, arrogant, cold and out of touch.

Charming Queen Frederica was responsible for this match and the bride was very happy with her Mother’s choice. Queen Sofia has been an exemplary Queen, wife, Mother and even sister. She is a very elegant lady in the full sense of the word. Scandal mongers do their utmost attempting to tarnish the Spanish Crown’s reputation alleging Juan Carlos is a serial adulterer but there is little Sofia can do about it except shrug it off and carry on. If Juan Carlos is not accompanying her to London for Queen Elizabeth’s Jubilee celebrations, as he previously did not a year ago for the Royal wedding, might it have something to do with his difficulty in walking?
