He was certainly not a good husband but the break first came when it was found that the Queen had passed hemophilia to the Prince of the Asturias.

Castros' rise to power? The Cuban missle crisis? Massive influx of Cubans in FL? Heck, even the Elian Gonzalez crisis.

But Alphonso was stubborn. Most of their marital problems were entirely his fault.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
