Gerardo Correas, an expert in protocol, explains that “internal Spanish issues” have been ignored and they have been placed together “because they are family”
The image of the King and Queen of Spain, Felipe VI and Letizia, sitting at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II together with the emeritus, Juan Carlos and Sofía, “has surprised everyone”, acknowledges Gerardo Correas, president of the International School of Protocol from Madrid, who is in London to follow the funeral mass from there. “That location, the four of us together, has surprised us. It has been against prognosis because they are part of different groups of guests.
In this sense, the Foreign Minister, José Manuel Albares, who accompanies the King and Queen of Spain on their trip to London, recalled this morning that the King Emeritus is there “responding to an invitation in a personal capacity, while the representation of Spain in London is held by King Felipe VI with the Queen. The roles are clearly defined », he insisted.
But the photo that we didn’t think we were going to see “and that everyone was looking for is there, and nothing happens,” says Gerardo Correas. “When placing them they will not have taken into account internal Spanish issues and they have sat them together because they are family,” explains the specialist in protocol issues.
