Well the Spanish monarch is hailed as the one who brought democracy to Spain... funny somehow...
Franco thought he might have found a loyal successor in form of the reestablished king. And then this ungrateful bastard did use his power to rebuild a democratic Spain ...
I think the Spanish king does not have much powers nowadays. He is not even allowed to live in the royal palace in Madrid...
