King, Queen Mourn Earthquake Victims

King Felipe and Queen Letizia were quick to express their condolences last weekend following the deadly earthquake in Morocco.

King Felipe, on behalf of himself and his wife, penned a letter to Moroccan King Mohammed. The missive referred to the Moroccan ruler as “brother.”

Spain was one of the few countries initially allowed to send aid workers to the earthquake zone. However, the countries are often at odds.

Morocco, for example, still claims the Spanish cities of Melilla and Ceuta in North Africa. Immigration is another sensitive issue.
