Is a 74 year old man who should NOT have been hunting elephants or any other animal. But with this, I will forgive his sin because he led Spain from a dictorship to a constitutional democracy without shedding a drop of blood. As monarchs go, he costs the people very little compared to other European Monarchs.

Scott should worry about his state instead of the King of Spain.
