Princess Leonor and Queen Letizia have just released the decision they've made at the Royal Household. This is good news that gives the heiress the opportunity to play a relevant role in the Royal Family. The date has already been chosen and will mark Leonor's Mallorcan summer.
Everything is ready for the Royal Family to move to Marivent in the coming days. This marks the start of the public part of Princess Leonor and Queen Letizia's vacation. It will be there where the Mallorcan town will once again be in the media spotlight.
Princess Leonor and Queen Letizia confirm an important breaking news
Princess Leonor and Queen Letizia are starting a week in which, once again, the heiress will have a major role. In a few days, she will receive a new recognition in Marín for her military stage in the Navy. Queen Letizia will be accompanying her days before starting her vacation at Marivent Palace.
It is precisely from there that very good news has arrived, which Leonor and Letizia have confirmed: the princess will attend the official reception at Marivent. The reception brings together Balearic authorities and a broad representation of civil society, business, culture, sports, and the third sector every year. This year, for the first time, Princess Leonor will attend the event as an essential part of the Royal Family.
In addition to this information, the date of the reception that the kings will host at Marivent has also been confirmed: it will be August 4. The date, confirmed by the Royal Household and reported by the Balearic and national press, once again puts the island in the institutional summer spotlight. It will be one of the most visible events of the Royal Family's summer stay in Mallorca, always followed with public expectation.
In the 2024 edition, around 600 guests attended, a figure that illustrates the social dimension reached by this summer event. After the traditional hand-kissing, attendees then enjoyed catering with a strong local accent by chefs Maca de Castro and Marga Col.
Queen Letizia reveals that Princess Leonor won't be alone
Princess Leonor won't be alone at the traditional reception for the most relevant society of the Mallorcan town. Queen Letizia has also confirmed the presence of Infanta Sofía, who will accompany her older sister at such a solemn ceremony.
Local media indicate that the daughters of the kings will accompany their parents during their stay in Palma, reinforcing the image of family unity. Leonor has just finished her stage at the Marín Naval Military School, where she received the Naval Merit Cross from her father. The July 16 ceremony brought together the Royal Family, including Infanta Sofía, showing that their summer schedules now coincide.
The attendance of the two sisters at Marivent also has significant institutional meaning: it makes visible the continuity of the Crown in a relaxed setting. But before settling in Marivent, the Royal Family will participate in the Princess of Girona Awards on July 23 and 24 in Catalonia. The planned agenda published by the Royal Household details the joint presence of the kings, the Princess of Asturias, and Infanta Sofía at those commitments.
Once the events in Girona are over, media calendars place the move to the Balearic Islands, linking trips to formally start the Mallorcan season. The dates point to a staggered arrival: after Girona, a few private days and arrival in Palma probably the last weekend of July.
It is also rumored that Queen Letizia and Princess Leonor may arrive earlier to do several photo sessions beforehand and settle in. In any case, the day of August 4 will concentrate media attention and will mark the visible start of the royal Mallorcan summer.
