Queen Letizia and her daughter, Infanta Elena, were in Australia to celebrate Spain’s victory over England in the Women’s World Cup.

Her Majesty was seen nervous as the game wound to a close and then embraced team members as they basked in victory.

The Queen’s trip came as the Royal Family retakes its agenda after summer vacations. Princess Leonor did not attend. She entered military training in recent days.

Media outlets contrasted the Queen’s trip with British royals staying home during the game. News reports said they cited environmental reasons.

Members of the Spanish Royal Family arrived in the island of Mallorca in recent days for the beginning of their summer vacation.

King, Felipe, Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia visited historic gardens Monday. They usually make a point of seeing at least one notable place on the island every year.

King Felipe also held meetings with Balearic Island leaders at the Almudaina Palace in downtown Palma de Mallorca. The family stays at a different palace, Marivent, when vacationing.

Queen Sofia is the biggest fan of vacationing in Mallorca and Marivent Palace. She’s seen there during the summer and Easter.

However, her last public event was Monday with members of the Belgian Royal Family to attend ceremonies in memory of the late King Baudouin, who died in Spain in the 1990s.

Separately last week, King Felipe and Queen Letizia attended the opening of the Gallery of Royal Collections in Madrid.

Europe’s constitutional kings and queens are mostly figureheads. “Mostly” is an important word there. Contrary to popular belief, they do have certain powers.

In Spain and in other nations, the monarch plays a role who ends up governing. King Felipe’s role is particularly pivotal.

Now that Spanish voters delivered an inconclusive result, His Majesty will be meeting with whoever is chosen to president over the Chamber of Deputies. He will also meet with all party leaders.

Once those consultations are over, King Felipe will task one of the party leaders with forming a government based on the likelihood of success.

If one leader fails, the king may choose someone else to give it a go. A continued impasse could mean new elections.

But if there is success, King Felipe will take the new prime minister’s oath and that of his ministers. They must all swear allegiance to him and the constitution.

The Spanish government’s Patrimonio Nacional, or National Heritage agency, which runs many royal palaces and sites, is opening a new museum of royal collections later this month.

It’s the first major museum opening in Madrid in years and expected to contain treasures collected by Spanish monarchs through the centuries.

One piece of note will be the Crown of Atocha, which Queen Isabella II gifted to the Virgin of Atocha in the 1800s after surviving an assassination attempt.

The Crown of Atocha is replete with diamonds and topaz, and also includes a large halo. It is currently not on display.

Similarly, it was only in recent years that King Felipe VI put on display at the Madrid Royal Palace a crown from the 1700s that has been used for high occasions.

The large and heavy crown only looks like Spain’s heraldic crown. It contains coats of arms of kingdoms associated with the Spanish monarchy — but not necessarily Spain’s current constituent kingdoms.

The new Gallery of Royal Collections is considered a masterpiece building near the Madrid Royal Palace and the Almudena Cathedral.

King Felipe and Queen Letizia welcomed Jordan’s King Abdulla and Queen Rania for a visit last week, including a lunch at the Madrid Royal Palce.

King Abdullah was in Spain for a meeting of his Aqaba Process, which is focused on combating international terrorism.

Queen Sofía and King Juan Carlos, who has been living away from Spain in the Middle East, recently attended the wedding of Jordan’s Cown Prince Hussein.

Spanish media outlets were abuzz last month for the Catholic confirmation of Inflanta Sofía, 16, King Felipe and Queen Letizia’s youngest daughter.

The infanta wore fuchsia to the ceremony with classmates at the elite Santa María de los Rosales school in Madrid. King Felipe was her confirmation godfather.

It was a rare chance to see King Felipe, Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor, Infanta Elena, Queen Sofía and Queen Letizia’s parents — Jesús José Ortiz Álvarez and María de la Paloma Rocasolano Rodríguez — all together.

Absent from the ceremony was King Juan Carlos, who has been living in exile in the Middle East following probes for financial irregularities.

Gossip outlets seized on a moment when Queen Letizia appeared to intervene in Queen Sofía’s interaction with her granddaughters.

King Felipe welcomed high-profile U.S. guests to Zarzuela Palace in recent days.

Former secretary of state and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton made a stop during a visit to Spain.

Former Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, who runs NASA, visited the monarch to discuss increased space collaboration.

Spain’s royals hold many of their audiences at Zarzuela Palace just north of central Madrid. Higher-profile events happen at the Royal Palace downtown.

Princess Leonor, heir to the Spanish throne. celebrated her high school graduation last week with her parents and sister.

King Felipe, Queen Letizia and Infanta Sofia were on hand to celebrate the Princes of Asturias’ milestone.

Princess Leonor attended UWC Atlantic College in Wales. Also at the graduation ceremony was Netherlands King Willem-Alexander who was celebrating his daughter, Catharina-Amalia.

UWC Atlantic College is known for hosting notable students who interact with people from all walks of life. The Princess of Asturias will soon begin years of military training in Spain.

King Charles’ coronation this weekend shows how different the British Royal Family is from other European monarchies.

While the British put crowns on their king and queen, other countries simply proclaim their monarchs. In Spain and other countries, the crown remains to the side.

Spain doesn’t actually have a royal crown — at least not a physical one. The crown King Felipe used for his proclamation is similar to the heraldic crown use in Spanish coats of arms. It dates to the 1700s and is currently on display at the Madrid Royal Palace.

But before 2014, however, that crown stayed locked away. It was used for King Juan Carlos’ proclamation in the 1970s, but was not given as much importance as other crown jewels around the world. Looking at it closely, it’s not an updated representation of Spain’s constituent realms. That crown is also very large — larger than it seems.

The Spanish Royal Family have several tiaras and numerous pieces of jewelry that have been handed down. But through civil war, two republics, a dictatorship and other strife, few crown jewels remain and almost none are regularly on display.

King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia traveled to London this weekend to participate in the coronation of King Charles III and associated activities.

Their Majesties have traveled to London several times since becoming Spain’s king and queen in 2014. King Felipe’s proclamation was a more modest affair, largely because of economic and political crises, and did not involve royals from other countries.

Absent from the coronation was Queen Sofia, who is close to the British Royal Family. Her last public engagement was last week during an event for food banks in Spain.
