New (Sort of) Portraits of the Spanish King and Queen

New, well, what I thought were new portraits of King Juan Carlos I and Queen Sofia of Spain, but in fact are not. They are at least new to me.
The Queen looks so elegant in this purple gala gown. It's one of her best and one of my favourites, and I'm glad that she chose it for her official portrait. The King also looks very handsome in his uniform, so regal and dignified. And together they are a very handsome couple. Thumbs up all around for this set of pictures!
And now here is where I do a bit of griping. For these "business/professional" portraits of the King and Queen, we get the King in a very nice blue suit and bright blue tie. He looks handsome again and very much a professional. Then we get the Queen in a blue/grey/green smock of some sort that is something in between daytime wear and evening wear, but is a bit confused about its identity and doesn't know which one it is. The jewellery she's accented it with hasn't helped the identity issues. The Queen has so many nice suits, why did she choose this creation, which also, I might add, does nothing to reveal her figure, which is quite lovely for a 60+ year old woman who is a grandmother. Note that the colour of the Queen's outfit is a near perfect match for the curtains! Then in their joint picture, why can't the King muster up a smile and get his hands out of his pockets? Hands in your pockets is something I would expect from one of his grandsons, not from him!
