Answer 1

Because he was questioned and not in the highest esteem from his subjects.  Read the Cnn page you posted.  It seem to explain it

Spanish monarch has endured recent criticism after years of adulation

Answer 2

I´m sorry things aren´t going very well.  He´s my hero!  I was living in Spain during the coup mentioned in the article.  I think he handled things extremely well, and have always looked up to him for it.

¡Felicidades, Su Majestad!
