This week, after a busy schedule in Mallorca, King Felipe and Princess Leonor have already said goodbye. The evidence confirms the moment in which the king and his heir currently find themselves after appearing for the last time at an official event.
A completely different period is beginning for the Royal Family, bringing an end to their responsibilities at the head of the institution. Although everything is kept in the strictest privacy, King Felipe and Princess Leonor can't escape the signs.
King Felipe and Princess Leonor leave together
This year, as usual, the Spanish Royal Family has taken a break from their official commitments to enjoy a period of rest. After the institutional closure in Marivent, Princess Leonor and King Felipe ended their schedule, making way for a few days of relaxation.
The evidence confirms that the king and his heir said goodbye to Mallorca last Wednesday afternoon. The Royal Family's vacations are always a topic that sparks great interest. The press and the public closely follow the news, although the family's privacy is largely respected.
Their vacation destination is a secret intended to ensure the safety and protection of all its members. Only the President of the Government knows the exact location of Princess Leonor and King Felipe. However, it has been possible to find out the exact time father and daughter left Mallorca yesterday afternoon.
Around 5:14 p.m., the plane carrying the Royal Family took off from Palma de Mallorca Airport. The Royal Household keeps a "pact" of silence: nothing is said about where they're going, only the Government is informed. Even Princess Leonor has remained firm in keeping that secret, traveling on the private Falcon under total confidentiality.
The summer tradition is clear: first Mallorca, with events such as receptions, regattas, or cultural openings. Then, a secret destination, which is never disclosed to the general public, thus keeping their rest protected from cameras and rumors.
King Felipe and Princess Leonor enjoy their last days together
As every year, the official schedule of Princess Leonor and King Felipe ended with the reception for the Balearic authorities. The next day, they still had time for a bit of leisure on the island, and yesterday, king and heir said goodbye to Mallorca.
This is one of the most special summers for Princess Leonor. The rest will allow her to disconnect from an official schedule that's more active than on other occasions and prepare for the new academic year. Since she finished her training at Elcano, Leonor has more than fulfilled her role within the institution.
She has gained prominence by attending the traditional reception at Marivent for the first time with her parents and sister. Now is the time to enjoy her family before she leaves for the General Air Academy in San Javier in September.
Meanwhile, King Felipe is aware that this family time is very valuable. He has been separated from his eldest daughter for many months and, in a few weeks, he'll say goodbye to her again. That's why father and daughter have made the most of their time in Mallorca.
We saw Princess Leonor attending the regattas accompanying King Felipe in a moment many described as "touching." We've also witnessed the bond between them during the official events they've attended together. However, at this time, Leonor and Felipe are far from the media spotlight, already enjoying their private vacation.
