Dozens of demonstrators laugh as they gather around the monument of Charles III, former king of Spain during a demonstration in support of the Spanish Monarchy in the main square of Madrid, Spain, Friday, June 6, 2014. King Juan Carlos plans to abdicate and pave the way for his son, Crown Prince Felipe, to become the country's next king. The 76-year-old Juan Carlos oversaw his country's transition from dictatorship to democracy but has had repeated health problems in recent years. His popularity also dipped following royal scandals, including an elephant-shooting trip he took in the middle of Spain's financial crisis that tarnished the monarch's image. The king came to power in 1975, two days after the death of longtime dictator Francisco Franco. (AP Photo/Andres Kudacki), APTOPIX
