Spanish Royal Family Summer Holidays: 2023 -


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
I guess they take some time off now, hopefully not interrupted by catastrophies. Leonor will restart with the military on Sept 1 and Sofias studies in Lisbon will only start mid September.
 
Somebody wrote, that they often spend the vacation in Greece.

Yes, Greece is one of their most frequent destinations. They alternate it with other destinations, but always in the Mediterranean area, so as not to be too far away if the King has to return to Spain. When a terrorist attack occurred in Barcelona a few years ago in August, they were in France.
 
Bad news for King Felipe and Queen Letizia at the start of their vacation... Jaime Anglada, one of their best friends in Palma, has suffered an accident and is in critical condition in the hospital. He was the singer at the concert Felipe attended a few days ago at the Nautical Club, his crewmate, and now one of his closest friends. His wife and Letizia have also become close friends.

Just heard the news. He's one of Felipe's closest friends, and the couple are also quite close.

As you say, not the best start to their private holiday and will have an impact.
 
Just terrible!
I'm glad the perpetrator has been arrested.
Hopefully he pulls through quickly. I'm sure his wife and family will receive calls from the Royal couple.
 
Terrible! Head injuries does not sound good, I hope he will pull through. Yes I am glad they caught the driver, how recless to flee the scene and leave a seriously injured person behind.
 
The driver is apparently a 20 y.o. who panicked. I'm glad he's arrested but unfortunately young drivers getting involved in accidents is not unusual.
He probably fled because he was driving under the influence. Plus hit and run, creating bodily harm.
 
According to a Spanish media outlet that tracks the flight of official Spanish state plans, one of these plans flew from Madrid to Greece a few days ago.
This has led the press to quickly claim it was King Felipe.
However, the controversy in Spain is about the abusive use of this plan by politicians, I'm talking about ministers, members of the government, and others with the right to use it. Therefore, said plan could also be a member of the government on vacation in Greece.


The information provided is not reliable, last year the Spanish press made the same statement, including that they were in the house of the kings of the Netherlands, however William and Maxima and their family were seen in spetses, and the reality is that there was no trace of the Spanish royal family. Even King Felipe went out to dinner with his family to a restaurant of Mallorca.

When the Spanish King and Queen spend their summer in Greece, it has always consisted of a private cruise around the Greek islands, with a chartered boat...visiting Islands like Mykonos.

And another thema, the press claims that Queen Sofia is in Madrid, but nothing is official. She could be in Mallorca. It's the press that claims this because she isn't seen walking around Mallorca, but that doesn't mean anything.

:previous:No, it was not a member of the government, it was the Royal House who used the plane.
King Felipe and Queen Letizia and Princesses landed at a Greek airport (it seems it wasn't Athens).
It's quite possible they're taking a private cruise, as they have on other occasions.
According to the flights website - On August 7, the Royal House made a flight from the Balearic Islands to Greece (the plane returned to Madrid the same day, after dropping off its occupants).
It is obvious they are King Felipe and Queen letizia,

On the subject of official flights, there have been a lot of hoaxes and conspiracy theories lately... and some speculations are absurd.

The Royal Family only uses official planes for official events, with the exception of the King, who always travels on official flights for security reasons. When they travel to Mallorca, they travel on official flights because they are attending official events there and because it's summer, and getting flights to a holiday destination for them and security isn't always easy. Employees of the Royal Household also travel to Mallorca to organize events and receptions, along with additional security. It's August, the government is on vacation, so practically the only official flights are military ones, to Lanzarote where the Prime Minister is on vacation, or flights for the King... it's not very difficult to follow the trail.

King Felipe and Princess Leonor do not travel together by plane for security reasons, so for their holidays abroad the Princess returns to Madrid and then takes a regular flight, while the king travels on an official plane.

The Royal House announced that Queen Sofia was returning to Madrid, and if she does return, the press in Mallorca will find out about it through security measures.
 
It's obvious that no Family´s members are in Mallorca. The royal family has opted for a private vacation.
It's true that the King and Crown Prince aren't traveling together, but we can't forget that Leonor could also take an independent vacation with her friends, without her parents.

I don't believe it. This year she's spent six months traveling the world away from her family, and on September 1st they'll be separated again... these days are the only chance the family has had this year to spend a few days together, away from the pressure.

In Mallorca, Leonor has a group of friends from the school in Wales who spend their holidays there with their families and they spend time together on the days they are there.
 
Hello/Hola also claims they are staying with WA and Máxima.


Or better said: they say “ it is believed that…” but they fail to mention by whom it is believed and why we should believe those beliefs. Other than suggesting that the two couples are close, another assumption they fail to explain.

As said, they will have relatives and family friends in the area and they have more than enough means to rent a place of their own, so there are many possibilities other than WA and Máxima’s house.
 
Despite being on vacation, King Felipe VI called some mayors to find out about the situation of the fires that are happening in some regions of Spain.

It's August, they're just looking to fill their websites, and they're not even using the most basic logic... considering the plane landed on the other side of the country, speculating that they're at the home of the Dutch royals is absurd... But last year they published the same hoax, they don't even bother to invent something new, when Nikolaos of Greece or Victoria de Borbon would be more credible hosts.
 
You hardly see your daughters and the only two weeks you have during the sommer holiday you spend together with the Dutch royal couple? I find this hard to believe. F&L have lots of opportunities to stay in private property in greece. I can believe they have a solid friendship among royals but in lifestyle they are like day and night ... helping out Amalia is one thing but spending the precious off time together another.
On another note, at the last SV, Letizia and Maxima had kind of an odd body language together, not really what I would expect from 'besties'.
 
King Felipe VI has interrupted his vacation due to the wave of wildfires in Spain.
He has contacted the presidents of the most affected regional governments and will visit the Military Emergency Unit Headquarters this afternoon to learn about the deployment firsthand.

Today, King Felipe VI visited the UME Headquarters at Torrejón Air Base to receive the latest information on the deployment of Military Emergency Unit personnel to combat the fires.
