Spain's Queen Sofia under fire on eve of 70th birthday
Spain's Queen Sofia under fire on eve of 70th birthday
MADRID – The Spanish royal court distanced itself Friday from comments expressed by Queen Sofia in a new biography in which she opposes homosexual marriage, among other political comments."Gays can wed, but they cannot call it marriage," the queen is quoted as telling Pilar Urbano in the journalist's new book La Reina muy de cerca ."There are other possible names," she adds, suggesting "social contract" as one example.The queen was making the comments "in a private framework," a statement from the Zarzuela Palace in Madrid said. The queen's comments had also been misquoted, the palace said.
Gay and lesbian rights groups were in uproar Thursday and demanded that the Royal Palace issue a retraction.
In Urbano's book, the queen also comments on a wide range of domestic and foreign issues, as well as discussing her and King Juan Carlos' relationship with Spanish and foreign politicians.
Of US presidential frontrunner Barack Obama she says he seems like he would make a "sincere, intelligent and effective" leader. "I feel very satisfied at the possibility that a black man can go so high," she says.
However, the queen also shows a soft spot for Hillary Clinton, Obama's rival in the Democratic Party primaries.
"They were merciless with her. They paint her as an ambitious woman who uses the influence of her husband for her own benefit [...]. The poor thing must have suffered a lot [...] The Hillary that I know is a woman of great human qualities [...] I like her. With Bill Clinton there was good chemistry very quickly. The king and him connected very well," Queen Sofia says.

Danish referendum on succession in June 2009
Danish referendum on succession in June 2009
A referendum will go ahead next year to ensure Denmark's heir to the throne will be the first born prince or princess in future. In practice this means the first born child of Prince Christian, whether male or female, will become the heir and future regent.
The law change would allow the first-born child of the king or queen to become heir to the throne - regardless of the child's sex. Currently, male children have the right to the throne over their sisters, regardless of age.
Such a monumental referendum had to be secured through two parliament approvals - both before and after a national election. That being done, at least 40 percent of the population must go to the polls next June for the referendum to be valid, and at least half must vote for the proposal to warrant the change.
Constitutionally, a daughter can become queen only if the royal couple do not have any male children.Due to a 1953 amendment to include royal daughters in the right of succession, Margrethe II became in 1972 the first woman to sit on the more than 1,OOO-year-old Danish throne since the first Margrete became ruler in 1353.

I thought God was king not man.
id love if ireland had a king it brings a sense of culture and pride to a country i think...id also love if i where some how the king
An interesting read I found on the BBC Website about Norodom Sihanouk, King-Father of Cambodia. His inspiration and stability in some of the most turbulent times in Cambodian history is really what a monarch should be about:

hmmm kinda not totally sure your arguement on that one though. . .
On the dying for country bit, I said the exact same thing to the EU people. By joining Europe as one they are making thousand, nay, millions of deaths invain!
oh and also
monarchies such as the british monarchy work because they HAVE altered with the times. an example is the only good thing Cromwell ever did which was have a son who restored the monarchy with less absolute power and so sharing the burden of leadership with others.
better than having a revolution and becoming french
how many times has england fought for the monarchy and now you want to say all those men who gave their lives for king and country were wrong?
ABSOLUTE FAIL
no one knows if aleexander the great was poisened he simply died under mysterious circumstances after his men mutinied and he was forced to abandon the conquest of india
Alexander the Great created an Empire from a region of 34,000km. One of the greatest Empires ever know before his murder(which he was poisened) at the age of 32.
"Yeah Gerry! Monarchs have done great things where democracy has failed! Alexander the Great, Catherine the Great and William the Conqueror were just a few examples of great monarchs, where as democratic leaders, Bush, Hitler and Stalin are complete wastes of space!"
Alexander the great.. Wasn't it during the Athenian Democracy that most of the pieces of ancient greek culture that we value the most were created? Hmm?
William the Conquerer? Why use this as an example? There have been greater monarchs? I don't think you know what you're talking about. You can hardly call Bush, Hitler and Stalin products of democracy, can you?
You're a twat.
Yeah Gerry! Monarchs have done great things where democracy has failed! Alexander the Great, Catherine the Great and William the Conqueror were just a few examples of great monarchs, where as democratic leaders, Bush, Hitler and Stalin are complete wastes of space!
Wait, aren't you forgetting Northern Ireland?
Well the length of your intelligence astounds me there is no queen of England but the Queen of Britain .. i.e. Scotland, Wales and England!
One great thing about Monarchs, is you don't have to elect a politician who tells you he's going to do one thing and does the exact opposite. Gerry, I sentance you to death for treason!
Gerry you only called them "rich bastards" because you are a self-confessed left-wing commy! Join the Conservatives, they way forward.
Gerry, why did you say that. I mean like Oliver Cromwell, but I have to ask what was he smoking that day? God doesn't excist. And if you look at it, we are the only animals who have democracy. If it's good enough for ant's and bee's, then surely it good enough for us!
Why does England need a royal family? They do nothing. Lazy, rich, selfish bastards.
VIVA LA REVOLUCION!!!!!!
