Queen Sofia today visited a food bank in Palma de Mallorca in the Balearic Islands where she proposed collecting items from the increasing number of cruise ships that dock.
King Juan Carlos, who has been absent from some of the family get togethers, met with Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy at Marivent Palace in Palma last week.
No doubt the diplomatic row between Spain and the United Kingdom over Gibraltar came up.
Earlier this month Queen Sofia and King Juan Carlos, plus Prince Felipe, Princess Letizia and Infanta Elena presided over the traditional dinner at Almudaina Palace for local Balearic Island leaders.
Infanta Cristina, Duchess of Palma, is said to be moving to Switzerland for work. Her husband remains under investigation for alleged misuse of public funds.
Late last month the Queen and her son Prince Felipe met with emergency workers, also in Mallorca, to show solidarity with their work, including fighting wild fires.
Prince Felipe was in Palma de Mallorca in mid-July before vacation time for a meeting of European foreign ministers at Almudaina Palace, which is near Marivent Palace, where the Royal Family stays during summer weeks away.
Perhaps the most notable moment of the Royal Family’s time in the Balearic Islands so far was Queen Sofia wearing a handbag with pictures of her grandkids on it.
