The last Spanish royal family that can be considered imperial a few months before the exile of King Alfonso XIII

Thanks for your comment friend. Although initially I used to think Alfonso XIII was the last great king of Spain...maybe that really is Juan Carlos instead. Because in the middle of a supposedly constitutional and democratic monarchy Alfonso backed up not one but two dictators and became an adept of extreme right wing. It was the only thing that actually caused his demise because otherwise he was a very competent king. Now history repeats itself but the people are anesthesied to the point they no longer react to the monarchy which may eventually allow Felipe to become an absolute king - yes in XXI century. Juan Carlos is now too disappointed to care as is Sofia and she seems to have at least partially forgiven his scandals, because ultimately he ended up being the man of her life and also because of how late in his reign they were. They're essentially the result of becoming senile or distractions that happen as one becomes less capable of proactively defending the institution. Another example of this is Elizabeth II and Brexit but...unlike Juan Carlos her start wasn't promising either, I have reevaluated and you're correct

If you see in photos however he wasn't. But the King (not counting with Edward ofc) was also taller than he became in later life because he smoked too hard and lost his earlier healthy habits

A yardstick lmfao
