: Just to echo the previous posts below, I'm
: really glad that the new King is restoring
: more grandeur into the Royal House. Compare
: and contrast the two videos below: Felipe's
: reception ceremony for the Argentine
: president, and JC's reception for the
: Mexican president back in 2014 (his last as
: King).
:
: I also notice the personality differences
: between father and son when they greet the
: visiting dignitaries. J.C. is definitely
: very much a Borbon, he jokes and gives hugs,
: what the Spaniards call
: "campechano". Felipe is more
: reserved, more Germanic--just a simple
: handshake. His choice of wife might not have
: pleased everyone, but he definitely
: demonstrates a keen understanding of his
: role as King of a country that is very
: difficult both to reign in and to govern.
