Hi Elmat: I may be thoroughly corrupted by the exposure to the communist education system (g), but I would rather ignore questions who sat on what chair when and concentrate on who had power (Marx would say "who had control of production assets") when. Privileges ... well, big deal, I mean, a small deal rather.If you look at European royalties these days, there's quite a few sympathetic persons to see (courtesy of yellow press;?) like the Queen of Denmark, Great Duke of Luxembourg, the crown prince and princess of Norway... Not to forget Johannes Rau, the German president - after all its more or less the same thing, personified representation of the state). Re Spain: after 30 years of black dictatorship the return to monarchy was actually a miracle of peaceful conversion to a constitutional status. Fact is also that Juan Carlos showed surprising, unexpected strengths and capability to look forward.
