Hope that the Spanish public appreciates the steps that the new King and Queen are taking in regards to spending and being transparent with their finances.

The Netherlands has one of the smallest groups of full time royals: W-A, Maxima and Beatrix. It is very rare that Constantijn and Laurentian perform any duties. I wonder why they are still one of the more expensive royal houses to run?
