Normally in a plane of the State, it depends on the type of trip. In Spain the army has planes that are destined for the transport of the King, the Prince, the President, the Ministers.

(...)Felipe de Borbón will meet on the evening with Correa in the Presidential Palace of Quito and later he will support a meeting with the group of resident Spanish in Ecuador in the residence of the ambassador, Federico Torres

Tomorrow, the agenda of the Prince in Quito will begin with a breakfast with businessmen and Ecuadoran personalities and later he will be present at the act in which Rafael Correa will assume his second consecutive mandate in the Presidency of Ecuador.

After being present at the lunche that Correa will offer to his guests, Felipe de Borbón will return to Spain.

Since 1996 the Prince is the official representative of the Spanish State in the acts of investiture of the Iberian Americans Presidents.

Ahhh thank you very much. :flowers:
I wondered why Felipe was travelling for this event, without Letizia. :smile:

He looks great in all of the pictures. It's kind of weird to not see him with Letizia, but she's probably glad to stay at home with their girls. :smile:

This was a very short visit, and there were some acts that Letizia wouldn´t have been included, so it is quite natural that she stayed at Mallorca on vacation with her daughters.

Prince Felipe returned this evening to Spain after being present today in Quito at the capture of possession of the president Rafael Correa, who takes up office for the second consecutive time.

The Prince of Asturias left the Ecuadoran capital soon after 16.00 hours (21.00 gmt), as informed Efe sources of the embassy of Spain in Quito.

Yes I know. It wasn't meant as a criticism. I think it's nice that Letizia gets a little break and can spend quality time with her girls. :flowers:
