For their latest gag, the folks at Improv Everywhere invited King Philip IV of Spain (1605-1665) to stand before his portrait painted by Diego Velázquez. His Majesty offered free autographs to anyone at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City who wanted one. Some people suspected that he was just an actor, and not the actual king.

Sorry to contradict you.
Times are tough, and because of the recession, Philip III is the new Philip IV.
Damn you, banking system.
It was phillip III, duke of burgundy (not a king), who created the order of the golden fleece, not any phillip IV.
That just sounds like something the Museum could have done on its own. On a side note, Philip IV of Spain was considered a pretty ineffectual leader. Not the same Philip IV who founded the Order of the Golden Fleece a couple hundred years earlier.
