Last Friday, Juan Carlos agreed to pose for TIME Photographer Eddie Adams at Zarzuela Palace, his official residence north of Madrid. The lines under his eyes reflected the strain of last week's uncertainties, but the atmosphere at Zarzuela was relaxed and, as palaces go, even homey. There was little sense of urgent state business at hand. Observed TIME's Madrid bureau chief, Gavin Scott: "Juan Carlos gave the impression that he had been cast in a role and he was ready to fill it out of a sense of patriotism.
