Her husband...Queen Sophia not attending is strange. Her husbands family the French Bourbons ceded Gibraltar over to Britain "in perpetuity" under the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713. I would have thought that they would not renege on a treaty. The Spanish of course maintain their African colonies - two cities Ceuta and Melilla in Morocco and Canary Islands 100 km west of the border between Morocco and the Western Sahara. Remarkably Spain also occupies part of French territory the town of Llívia .<br />The anniversary of the treaty is next year and that combined with her husbands ‘current circumstances’ and Spain’s own circumstances almost ensure that Gibraltar will be high on an Dinner Menu at the El Escorial Palace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762674434623075554.post-32063904854881562662012-05-17T09:27:17.223-04:002012-05-17T09:27:17.223-04:00Poor Sofia... first the King's philandering is...Poor Sofia... first the King's philandering is made public, and now she can't attend the Jubilee.
