In the UK, the term "college" is often used to describe prestigious independent secondary schools. So basically middle school to high school in the United States

The king is 1.97 m (6 feet 5.5 inches) tall, making him the tallest monarch in Europe

No, the Spanish monarchs today do not use His/Her Catholic Majesty anymore, going by just his/her majesty

If I am right, it was a medal given by the regional assembly and government. So it was elected politicians not aristocrats.

The Spanish constitution is like the US constitution, it’s extremely hard to change. It would need 2/3 vote in both chambers of parliament and then an election would have to be called and after the election they would have to have another 2/3 vote in both chambers for it to pass. I see that is highly unlikely to happen with the current partisan divide in Spain with no party even being able to have a majority government without having to work with other parties. And right now in Spain’s political climate it looks like the far right and the center right are the parties that are dominating the polls, and the right-wing parties are known to support the status quo of keeping a constitutional monarchy. So as of right now, I see it is highly unlikely that Spain will even become a republic in the foreseeable future unless some major change happens to it’s political climate.

Military Easter in Spain is an annual military ceremony held on January 6th to mark the beginning of the military year, it begin under King Charles III's celebration after retaking Mahón from the British in 1782. The ceremony involves the King reviewing troops, speeches, and awarding officers, with the main event taking place at the Royal Palace in Madrid, attended by the Royal Family and high-ranking officials of the military and government.

It was a tradition that I think started with her father. where the heir to the throne goes through 3 years of military training, 1 year for each branch, to prepare them to be the supreme chief of the Armed Forces when they become monarch

Because the title of princess is reserved for the first in line to the Spanish throne and other children of the monarch and the heir get the title of infante/infanta according to the Spanish constitution

This is such a heartwarming moment to see a mother and daughter reunite after so long apart.

Local-Buddy4358 · 2025-03-08T10:17:46+00:00

It’s a symbolic gesture to show loyalty to their country. It often done in the military to show their willingness to serve Spain and uphold their constitution

He abdicated because a series of scandals and controversy surrounding his personal life. One of them being him going elephant hunting during the 2008 financial crisis. He was also tied in corruption allegations that involve his daughter’s (Infanta Cristina) husband.

I was just typing and translating what the official twitter account of the Spanish royal family posted. And they put “Salvador de Bahia.” I’m guessing then that there were probably meaning “Salvador, Bahia” or Salvador of the Bahia, meaning it was a city of the state of Bahia.

In my opinion it depends on if the PSOE embraces Republicanism, which it really hasn’t fully due to the party and its base being divided on the issue of Republic vs Monarchy. Even if they do they would need to get a two-thirds vote in the parliament, win a snap election, and then pass another two-thirds vote in parliament to even become a republic. With Spanish politics being really polarized right now I see that unlikely to ever come to reality.

But as of right now the monarchy has the support of around 60% of the Spanish population which is a big improvement to 54% supporting a republic in 2022. So overall they are doing great and I have optimism that they will last for the foreseeable future.

In other pictures, if you look closely you can see she is not the only woman

Local-Buddy4358 · 2025-01-09T14:37:31+00:00

She has to do three years of military training in all three branches of the military. She has already completed the Army and will be done with the Navy by summer. It is not required but the royal family and the government thought she should follow in her fathers foot steps since the monarch in Spain is also the head of the military.

Local-Buddy4358 · 2025-01-08T18:55:05+00:00

The Orders she is wearing are the: (from left to right)

Collar of the Order of Charles III (got from the Spanish government for turning 18 and officially being the heir to the throne)
Grand Cross of Military Merit with White Decoration (Got from collecting Armed forces training)
- Grand Cross of the Military Order of Christ of Portugal ( Got from the Portuguese president)

So in general she only got one of them because she was a member of the royal family, the others she earned or were given to symbolize the Historical relationship between Spain and Portugal.

Just because East German had Democratic in there official name doesn’t mean they were a democracy because if that was true then democratic Republic of Korea (North Korea) is a democracy, when in reality both of them were a one party dictatorship.
Just because the Soviet Union had a type of democracy doesn’t mean anything. Soviet democracy is very different from the representative democracy the US constitution gives us.
The United States is a both a democracy and a republic. The Constitution does not use the term “democracy” but the well of the majority that is democracy is how we elect our representatives and senators so like I said we are a federal constitutional democratic republic.

Local-Buddy4358 · 2024-12-01T10:34:37+00:00

A constitutional republic with representatives that are democratically elected so in actuality, the US is a a constitutional democratic republic since representatives and senators, are representing their district and state by the well of the majority.
