Palace whispers
Actually, King Juan Carlos of Spain (71) had imagined his summer vacation on Mallorca very differently.
King Juan Carlos of Spain wanted to use his vacation there as a PR action this time - as an advertisement for a modern royal house that has understood the signs of the times. Therefore, he had long before departure declare, he also wants to step on the cost brakes in the generally miserable economic situation in Europe: two weeks less Mallorca fun, less pleasure trips with the fuel-eating yacht "Fortuna". Only - now after the terrorist attacks in Mallorca no one asks more about energy saving measures in the Marivent Palace.
But His Majesty scores with his courage and bold demeanor. He had not thought for a second to cancel his holiday, he felt absolutely safe in Mallorca and trusted his police forces, so his message. Balm for all who live on the island of tourism: Had Juan Carlos canceled, many others would have canceled.
