There is another online biography of the King, with appropriate links, here.
There is what seems to be a well balanced article from the Guardian about the accession which can be read at Crown Prince Felipe on brink of becoming King Felipe VI and the same paper has a good account of the formal occasion at Spain's Felipe VI promises a 'renewed monarchy' as he is sworn in as king and also a good selection of photographs at Spain's King Felipe VI begins a new reign.
Such essentially positive coverage by the Guardian,is, dare one suggest it, rather interesting in itself, and perhaps an happy augury.
