: Doña Maria explained in her memoirs that she
: referred to Alfonso XIII and Queen VE as
: "Uncle King" and "Aunt
: Ena".
: Acually, King Alfonso was not her uncle, but
: the uncle of her half-siblings.
Just sounds odd to me to refer to parents-in-law as 'uncle' and 'aunt' but if that is the usual practice in Spain then I guess that is fine with me!
