SPAIN: King Juan Carlos in Washington DC
King Juan Carlos is Spain’s best king since Carlos III of the eighteenth century and one of the most consequential statesmen of the twentieth century. He is overlooked in the United States because Spain’s success is taken for granted and because his life has been chronicled in Spanish. He is far more appreciated in Latin America than in the United States. His reign tinged with sacrifice and tragedy, he succeeded General Francisco Franco, orchestrated Spain’s transition to democracy, faced down a major coup attempt in 1981, drove Spain’s full return to the West, and built bridges to Latin America and the Middle East.
With his active support, Spain became largely prosperous, a net provider of security as a member of NATO, and even became a significant donor of foreign aid. Spain’s transition to democracy is seen as the “textbook” case. The historic transition placed far higher responsibilities on Juan Carlos than almost any other twentieth-century European monarch.

EUROHISTORY: William Mead Lalor Collection Acquired by the Eurohistory Archive!
The royal photographic collection painstakingly put together by the late William Mead Lalor, author of three excellent books on European Royalty (Royalty Before the Wars, Royalty Between the Wars and Royalty After the Wars), was recently acquired by the EUROHISTORY Royal Photography Archive. All Mr. Lalor's books were published by Rosvall Royal Books in Sweden.
Bill, as we all called Mr. Lalor, was a royalty enthusiast, perhaps among the most devoted of us. He spent decades putting together this collection and saving for posterity rare images of European royalty between 1860-2010. Added to the already massive archive built by Mr. Beeche at EUROHISTORY, this acquisition easily makes the archive one of the largest royal photo archives in existence.
In an effort to pay tribute to Bill, every time we use an image from his collection, we will source its provenance. We hope that from wherever dear Bill is today, he will be satisfied that his legacy will remain intact!
This acquisition would have been impossible to achieve without the support and financing provided by Mr. Beéche and a selfless donor who believes in "the cause," just as much as our founder!
"Our friend, who has helped keep the flame alive, is owed a great debt of gratitude, but in keeping with his selflessness and low-key approach to the good he does, he wants to remain anonymous," Mr. Beéche, EUROHISTORY's founder, said when asked about the co-donor's identity.
Appreciation is also expressed to Mr. Lalor's children and his estate, for a successful negotiation that was amenable to all parties involved!
Transfer to EUROHISTORY of the Lalor Collection began last month and will conclude soon, as it is a sizable shipment. Once completed, cataloguing will commence and the Lalor Collection will occupy it's own wall in the recently renovated offices of EUROHISTORY.

UK And Saudi Arabia: A Motoring Queen Drove a Nervous King
The death of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has brought considerable debate over whether he should be remembered as a "reformer" or the very opposite of one; whether his legacy will be that he preserved Saudi Arabia's future or limited its present.
But as this story from a former British Ambassador to Saudi Arabia makes clear, there is one thing he will never be: as much of a stone-cold badass as Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles was given a private audience with the Queen when he was appointed Ambassador to Saudi Arabia in 2003. At the time, Abdullah was technically still the crown prince, though he'd been de facto ruler for several years. During their meeting, she gleefully recounted the story of Abdullah's first visit to Balmoral, her castle in Scotland. It all started innocently enough, with an offer to tour the estate:
After lunch, the Queen had asked her royal guest whether he would like a tour of the estate. Prompted by his foreign minister the urbane Prince Saud, an initially hesitant Abdullah had agreed. The royal Land Rovers were drawn up in front of the castle. As instructed, the Crown Prince climbed into the front seat of the front Land Rover, his interpreter in the seat behind.

She has a section inside the pages of of The European Royal History Journal (EUROHISTORY), for which she has written nearly fifty articles on various royal gatherings.

This book she co-authored by Arturo E. Beéche, founder of EUROHISTORY, one of the leading royalty magazines today.
