The Royal Family is already in Mallorca and a spokesperson has confirmed the rumor about King Felipe and what his stay in Marivent will be like. The monarch is starting a week full of institutional commitments that won't go unnoticed by anyone.
Felipe will have to balance his work as head of state with his family life for the duration of his stay in Palma. Afterwards, the Royal Family will begin their private vacation far from the media spotlight and monarchical responsibilities.
The royal family's inner circle confirms the latest news about King Felipe
Palma de Mallorca has already welcomed its most illustrious visitors: the Royal Family is beginning their retreat in Marivent as they do every year. King Felipe arrived on the island last weekend, accompanied by his wife and daughters. However, his arrival at the Palace has been marked by his official schedule.
A spokesperson for the Royal Family has confirmed the rumor about King Felipe and what his stay in Marivent will be like. In this regard, this Monday, the king's audiences in Palma begin, meetings that mark the start of his institutional activity in the Balearic Islands. Everyone will be able to see how the monarch keeps direct contact with political, social, and economic representatives of Balearic society.
The Royal Family takes advantage of their summer stay to strengthen the connection with the territories, and the Crown doesn't rest, not even during the summer. The meetings reflect King Felipe's commitment to territorial unity and institutional stability. Therefore, it's not just about following protocol, but each audience has a symbolic value.
Starting this very morning, King Felipe will begin his round of audiences led by the regional president, Marga Prohens. Next will be the president of the Parliament of the Illes Balears, Gabriel Le Senne i Presedo. After him, it will be the turn of the mayor of Palma, Jaime Martínez, and the president of the Consell de Mallorca, Llorenç Galmés.
Over the coming days, King Felipe is expected to receive regional and local authorities, as well as figures from the business and social worlds. Although the setting is summery, institutional activity is constant. Each meeting has a clear purpose: to listen, support, and represent all citizens.
King Felipe begins the royal family's summer schedule
Not only will King Felipe keep an official summer schedule this week, but the other members of the Royal Family will also play leading roles. The schedule in Palma includes the traditional reception for Balearic society, which is held, as always, at the Almudaina Palace. This year, for the first time Leonor and Sofía will attend as active members of the institution.
This type of event helps keep the connection between the Crown and society alive and also strengthens the role of the head of state. The Royal Family combines official activity with family moments in Mallorca. But they never lose sight of their sense of duty and institutional responsibility.
From Marivent, the king closely follows the country's current events and his role is more active than many imagine, even in summer. In fact, tomorrow, Tuesday, King Felipe will receive President Pedro Sánchez after the latest meeting of the Council of Ministers. With this audience, the political term comes to an end and the guidelines to follow for September are set.
For now, there hasn't been a summer photo of the entire Royal Family, but it's expected soon. What there will be is a photo of King Felipe receiving Balearic authorities and representatives at the Palace.
