Queen Letizia and King Felipe take the final step: this time they won't change their minds

Queen Letizia and King Felipe are following the same strategy as in previous years regarding their summer vacation

With summer vacation just around the corner, Queen Letizia and King Felipe have made an important personal decision. Everything indicates that the monarchs aren't going to change their minds compared to previous years.

As tradition dictates, the Spanish royal family will spend much of this summer period at Marivent Palace, their place of residence during their stay in Mallorca.

There, year after year, Queen Letizia and King Felipe hold an annual reception with representatives of Balearic society. In addition, this building also becomes the perfect setting every summer for their family reunions.

In fact, it was on July 27, 2024, in the middle of summer vacation, when Infanta Cristina visited Marivent Palace for the first time since 2022.

That day, although according to Vanitatis it was only for a few hours, the former Duchess of Palma had the opportunity to meet with Felipe VI and Queen Letizia. That was more than enough time to publicly seal their reconciliation after what happened during the Nóos Case.

Queen Letizia and King Felipe will follow the same roadmap as in previous years during their vacation

The visit of Queen Letizia and King Felipe to Mallorca during this summer vacation has already been confirmed. However, as every year, the monarchs have decided to keep their next destination completely secret.

Since the queen joined the royal family, their private vacations have become a taboo subject for the rest of Spaniards. She made this decision, among other reasons, to rest with her family from media pressure for a few days.

Nevertheless, as every summer, several speculations arise regarding the vacation destination of Queen Letizia and King Felipe. But Zarzuela hasn't confirmed or denied any of the information, since this is considered a strictly family and private period.

In previous years, there was speculation about the possibility of them spending a few days in New York. In addition, on another occasion, there was talk of a trip to the Netherlands, taking advantage of their good relationship with Willem-Alexander and Máxima. There were even rumors that on one occasion they chose to take a cruise on the Adriatic Sea.

In any case, everything indicates that, once again, Queen Letizia and King Felipe have chosen to keep this information strictly private. There is no doubt that they're going to enjoy their two daughters as much as possible before they have to resume their respective schedules.
