This Wednesday, June 19, Philip VI has celebrated his first decade as monarch of the throne in Spain. For this special date, the royal family has reunited after several months separated due to the training of their daughters, Infanta Sofía and Princess Leonor. On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the king’s proclamation, the four appeared on the balcony of the Royal Palace.
The day started with parade of units of the three Armies and the Civil Guard along Madrid’s Calle Mayor to the Patio de la Armería of the Royal Palace, where the solemn relief of the Royal Guard took place. From the balconies located in front of the Almudena Cathedral, the kings and their two daughters have been spectators of this moment.
After the decorations of the Order of Civil Merit, the family moved to the palace’s gala dining room, an event in which the decorated citizens were interspersed among the authorities as a symbol of recognition of their contribution to society. After the brief speech of Felipe VI and the toast with the guests, the Princess of Asturias and her sister They have broken protocol to surprise their father.
Without anyone expecting it, the two walked around the room very shyly and with a subtle smile on their faces. Out of the corner of their eye, they sought the gaze of her father, who looked at them with a look of circumstance. “Mom, dad, your majesties. Sorry for sneaking in. But we also have something to say today“, Leonor began to say into the microphone, while looking carefully at her cell phone, where they had written their speech.
The tone of their words has generated great expectation, since until now they had never been heard publicly saying “mom, dad.” A tone of closeness that breaks the code of this type of act. “Thank you for joining us to remember that In these 10 years we have learned from our parents which means the commitment that the four of us have with all Spaniards,” the youngest of the family continued.
