They both have information on the Spanish Royal Family.

Answer 2

First of all, it isn't an "IT" it's a "THEM". Try going to your web browser and typing in "Spain" or "Spanish Royal Family". I know you will find enough for your paper. Juan Carlos. the king, was most recently in the news for telling Hugo Chaves to "SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN" durring a joint public appearance. Good luck

Answer 3

The Royal Family of the Kingdom of Spain consists of the direct descendants of the current king, Juan Carlos. The Spanish royal family belongs to the House of Bourbon.

Juan Carlos I (baptized as Juan Carlos Alfonso Víctor María de Borbón y Borbón-Dos Sicilias; born January 5, 1938, Rome, Italy) is the reigning King of Spain. On 22 November 1975, two days after the death of Francisco Franco, Juan Carlos was designated King according to the law of succession promulgated by Franco. He successfully oversaw the transition of Spain to a democratic constitutional monarchy. Juan Carlos's titles include that of King of Jerusalem, as successor to the royal family of Naples. He is also a descendant of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom through his grandmother, Victoria Eugenie; of Louis XIV of France through the House of Bourbon; of the Emperor Charles V, who belonged to the Habsburg dynasty of the Holy Roman Empire; of the House of Savoy of Italy; etc.

The King's two daughters hold the title Infanta (Princess) of Spain, with the style Her Royal Highness. Their husbands hold no title of their own but are styled His Excellency The Duke of <wife's ducal title>. Their children hold the style of His or Her Excellency and the rank of a Grandee of Spain.

The King's eldest son bears the title Prince of Spain, Prince of Asturias (Crown Prince) with the style His Royal Highness. The wife of the Prince of Asturias holds the titles Princess of Spain and Princess of Asturias with the style Her Royal Highness. The children of the Prince of Asturias have the title Infante/Infanta and the style Royal Highness.

Don Felipe, Prince of Asturias (Felipe Juan Pablo Alfonso de Todos los Santos de Borbón y de Grecia born January 30, 1968, Madrid), is the third child and first son of King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofía of Spain. As the Prince of Asturias he is the heir apparent, meaning he is first in the line of succession to the Spanish throne. As heir to the Spanish throne he bears the official titles of Prince of Asturias, Prince of Viana, Prince of Girona, Duke of Montblanc, Count of Cervera and Lord of Balaguer. If Felipe becomes king as expected, he will be known as Philip VI of Spain.

The Infanta Leonor of Spain (Leonor de Todos los Santos de Borbón y Ortiz, in English: Eleanor of All the Saints of Bourbon and Ortiz; born October 31, 2005, Madrid) is the first child of Felipe, Prince of Asturias and his wife Princess Letizia, and thus second in the line of succession to the Spanish throne after her father. As the daughter of the heir to the throne, she is styled and titled Her Royal Highness, Infanta of Spain. She has a younger sister, Infanta Sofía.

Answer 4

To answer your question - the relationship between the Spanish people and the Spanish royalty is very similar to that of the subjects of the British throne and the members of the British Royalty. From what I have seen, the people love the idea that their royalty has existed for this long, and further that they are ceremoniously present, but for the most part, there is very little power in the monarchy and as of such, many Spainards really do not think much of the monarchy when it comes to political advnacement. The relationship between monarchy/people is similar to the one in Great Britan, where there is a cermeonious figure head, but unlike the sittutation in Great Britan in that the British Queen shows her ceremonious power from time to time, much more often than her Spanish counterparts.
