This Wednesday, June 19, the Royal Family will experience one of its most special days with the tenth anniversary of the coronation of Felipe VI. And on the occasion of a date as important as it is unrepeatable, Zarzuela has prepared several events to celebrate in style the ten years that have passed since the proclamation of him as King and the impeccable and applauded role that he is playing at the head of the institution. . The celebrations, which will feature Don Felipe, Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía – already on vacation – will start on Wednesday with a military parade of the three Armies, the Civil Guard and the Royal Guard. from the Calle Mayor to the Patio de la Armería, which the Kings and their daughters will witness from the balcony of the Royal Palace. Next, the King, accompanied by his family, the President of the Government and representatives of the powers of the State, will impose medals of the Order of Civil Merit on citizens from all over the country in the Hall of Columns, before offering a speech and chair a lunch commemorating this anniversary in the Gala Dining Room of the Palace. The party will not end here, since the Kings and their daughters will take a tour of the Royal Collections Gallery with a group of young people who once won the concert ‘What does a King mean to you?’ while in the Plaza de Oriente, a tribute concert to Felipe VI is held by the Royal Guard band and with the special participation of the Lebanese violinist Ara Malikian.

An unrepeatable celebration in which there has been speculation with the possible presence of King Juan Carlos, whose visits to Spain are completely normalized when 4 years have passed since his departure to Abu Dhabi. Precisely, the Emeritus has spent the last few days in Sanxenxo. Last Wednesday he landed at the Vigo airport – after a previous stop in Vitoria to undergo a medical check-up – ready to participate this weekend in the regatta in preparation for the Spanish Championship in the 6M category at the helm of ‘El Bribón’ . A visit, the fifth so far in 2024, which ended this Sunday after presiding over the trophy presentation of the Galician Tourism Regatta, which was precisely won by the boat that he himself captains. As soon as the event concluded, and although many were betting that he would travel to Madrid to be present at the celebrations for the tenth anniversary of the Coronation of his son Felipe VI, Don Juan Carlos ended his stay in Spain by taking a private flight at the airport. from Vigo to return to the Arab Emirates. More elusive than on other occasions, the Emeritus said goodbye to Pedro Campos and his wife Cristina Franze at the foot of the runway before climbing the plane stairs, holding on to the railing and without the help of his assistants, and saying ‘see you later’ to our country just 72 hours away from one of the most important days for the Royal Family.
