Queen Letizia traveled to Panama this weekend to meet up with her daughter, Princess Leonor, who has been sailing in Spain’s famed Elcano training ship.

The Queen held a reception on board Sunday. Upcoming stops for the Princess of Asturias include Colombia, the Dominican Republic and New York City before sailing back to Spain.

King Felipe and Queen Letizia led the Spanish delegation to Pope Francis’ funeral over the weekend, where they met with other world leaders, including U.S. President Donald Trump.

King Felipe returned to Spain from Rome quickly to attend the final game of the King’s Cup in Seville between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid.

King Felipe and Queen Letizia will lead Spain’s contingent to Pope Francis’ funeral this weekend.

Their Majesties were quick to post a telegram mourning the late pontiff. They also — along with Queen Sofia — stopped by the Holy See embassy in Madrid to pay their respects.

Members of royal families from around the world will attend the ceremonies. It’s unclear whether Queen Sofia, King Felipe’s mother, will be in Rome this weekend.

Queen Sofia was the only member of the Spanish Royal Family to make significant public appearances during Holy Week.

King Felipe’s mother was in Seville for Good Friday to see the city’s religious processions marking Jesus’ death. Her sister, Princess Irene, has long been Queen Sofia’s companion but is not in good health and was not present.

Queen Sofia was also in the Balearic Islands, as is her tradition. She attended a Mallorca benefit concert in the days before Easter Weekend.

Members of the Spanish Royal Family used to attend Easter Mass in Mallorca but that tradition has lapsed.

Also seen during Holy Week in Seville were members of the House of Alba. The late Duchess of Alba was often at her Dueñas Palace in the city.

King Felipe expressed “profound sadness” when sending Vatican officials Spain’s official condolences after the death of Pope Francis.

His Majesty noted Pope Francis’ commitment to the poor and his drive to make the world a fairer place with greater solidarity.

One can expect a robust presence from the Spanish Royal Family during the late Pope’s funeral ceremonies.

King Felipe and Queen Letizia put out a message to honor Cervantes Prize and Nobel Prize winning writer Mario Vargas Llosa, the Marquess of Vargas Llosa, who died this week.

Vargas Llosa, born in Peru, was active in Spanish society and politics. He was left-wing in his youth but moved to the right as he got older and has been a fierce defender of the Spanish Crown.

King Felipe offered Spain’s renewed support for Ukraine this weekend as President Donald Trump threatens to cut off U.S. support.

His Majesty spoke in favor of Ukraine’s “legitimate defense” and in wanting to secure a “lasting peace” respecting “territorial integrity.”

Don Felipe’s comments at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona followed Trump and U.S. Vice President JD Vance berating Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the White House.

King Felipe has been focused on foreign affairs in recent weeks. He just returned from a trip to Uruguay to welcome that country’s new president, Yamandú Orsi.

King Felipe and Queen Letizia also recently hosted Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to the Madrid Royal Palace.

King Felipe hosted Zelenskyy for an official visit to Spain last year.

Princess Leonor, heir to the Spanish throne, has begun a months-long tour of the world in the Armanda training ship Juan Sebastián de Elcano.

King Felipe and Queen Letizia — along with numerous well-wishers on land and sea — gave the princess a teary goodbye.

Princess Leonor already made a stop in Spain’s Canary Islands off the coast of Africa after departing from the Port of Cadiz. It’s a similar route taken by Spanish explorers hundreds of years ago.

The Elcano will travel around Latin America and the Caribbean and end up in New York City later this year.

King Felipe and Queen Letizia launched their 2025 agenda with the traditional Pascua Militar at the Royal Palace in Madrid on January 6th. The vibes were starkly different from last year.

In January of 2024, Their Majesties were dealing with accusations by her former brother-in-law of infidelity by the Queen. This year things appeared to have stabilized.

The King and Queen days later held a reception with the diplomatic corps.

King Felipe focused on immigration and economic issues during his traditional Christmas Eve address last month.

His Majesty spoke from the Hall of Columns in the Madrid Royal Palace, one of the most important rooms in the country.

Don Felipe focused on the storm that caused severe damage in Valencia, the housing crisis and trying to tackle illegal immigration with compassion but also with a plan.

The monarch said uncontrolled immigration has shown to hurt social cohesion. Indeed, national unity and unified action have been themes of his Christmas Eve remarks for years.

This was the second Christmas Eve speech at the Madrid Royal Palace of King Felipe’s reign. His appearance from the Hall of Columns helped mark his 10th anniversary on the throne. Usually, he appears at Zarzuela Palace — where the king actually lives — outside of central Madrid.
