Fancy...
But whose paying for the alterations to fit? ???
:P
What the article doesn't say is how long the grant was observed. Does King Felipe still hand down his September suit?
Royal hand-me-downs would not have been exempt from the standard problem with such things, fit!
In the Middle Ages and early Renaissance, retailoring clothes was not uncommon, especially when the original fabrics were expensive/exclusive. I doubt the royals would expect the recipients to keep these gifts as precious relics.
Very useful for winters up north.....
