June marked a special day for the Spain Royal Family. King Felipe VI celebrated his 10th anniversary of Proclamation as the Spanish Monarch. On 2 June 2014, King Juan Carlos announced his intent to abdicate in Felipe’s favour. Felipe ascended the throne at the stroke of midnight on 19 June; his father had given his sanction to the organic law effecting his abdication just hours earlier. That night Oviedo born, ex-journalist, Letizia Ortiz became the first Spain born Queen of the Country.
King Felipe and Queen Letizia were joined by their two daughters, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia, for the day full of various events and activities marking the historic day. Felipe succeeded to the Spanish throne during very difficult times. His father and brother-in-law faced numerous corruption charges and Spanish Monarchy was barely surviving in public. Felipe and Letizia took the reigns in their hands and made drastic changes to the Royal court and Family.
The Royal Family was the Royal Palace of Madrid where after greeting the authorities, The King and Queen along with their both daughters watched a parade formed by the members of the Royal Guard which included 359 royal guards and 86 horses.
After the musical parade, The King presented the Order of Civil Merit as recognition of the Crown to those who carry out their lives and ordinary professional work in an exemplary way, at the service of society.
Next a luncheon was offered for the guests and authorities.
Where Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia gave a special speech thanking their parents for all the hard work and dedication. They expressed their love and gratitude for their parents. The Royal Court also marked the day with joining another social media platform, Instagram.
in the afternoon Princess Leonor and Infanta Doña Sofia hold a meeting with young participants in the editions of the contest What is a King for you?, organized by the Spanish Institutional Foundation (FIES).
Since becoming the King and Queen, Felipe and Letizia have barely missed a step. They are one of the most hard-working Royal couple around the globe with a full agenda almost every week. Spanish Royal Family’s Budget allocation is the smallest one among the global Royal circle. Felipe and Letizia served the crown and the nation with full dedication and have once again proved the importance of the Royal Family especially as the country has been facing political crisis one after another.
