Spain files protest over prince’s visit to Gibraltar
Royals plan to visit Gibraltar as part of Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee year celebrations.
The Spanish Foreign Ministry has filed a letter of protest with the British government to express its “displeasure and discomfort” over the planned visit of Prince Edward and his wife Sophie Rhys-Jones to Gibraltar next month.
The letter was given to British Ambassador Giles Paxman on Tuesday by Santiago Cabanas, director general of foreign policy and multi-lateral issues. The prince and his wife plan to visit Gibraltar between June 11 and 13 as part of Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee year celebrations.
When asked by reporters beforehand, Foreign Minister José Manuel Garcia-Margallo had responded cautiously that the government would no doubt file a protest.
Nevertheless, Spain’s Queen Sofía will travel to London next Friday to attend a luncheon given by Queen Elizabeth to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee.
