As to King JC, I also hope your own Dom Pio Duarte Duke of Braganza will host a grand welcoming occasion or dinner for King JC aat his (Braganza) residence, with many royals of other houses attending. A kind gesture.

JC and Sofia wedding had everyhing to turn wrong from the beginning.
Neither of them had had the click for the other.
Sofia was deeply in love with Harald of Norway, but he had choosen his "Cinderella" and fought for her to the limit.
JC, at the time, was "dating" Maria-Gabriella of Savoy, but Franco forbid such an alliance due to M-G more liberal character and the fact that she belonged to a non-reigning family.
Queen Frederica remembered several times to JC that he also belonged to a non-reigning family, pointing him that, in this case, he was marrying someone superior.
Both JC and Sofia were marrying second choices, one out of spite, the other, following orders, so this was not a "match made in heaven"
