SouthOfTheBorder Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 there’s a lot more going on with this story. It’s likely a political hit job on the Spanish royals due to King Felipe’s role in the recent elections & his subsequent constitutional duties. when the conservatives couldn’t form a government (the King had to ask them first), he then had to ask the liberals to form a government, which they did. there was a huge backlash & riots in the streets. the person making the cheating allegations is a well-known associate of some of the conservative groups. the aim is to damage the King & Queen.

Yes, a meaningless thread that was intended to throw shade on a European royal family for a confected non-issue.

cany10011 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 My cousin boarded at Lakefield College in Ontario when Prince Felipe studied there as well. They met recently when my cousin went to Barcelona/Madrid for a visit. Nice guy apparently. marylander1940, thomas and + WilliamM 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
