Casa Real has confirmed that King Felipe has received the commemorative book for his 10 years since his coronation. Under the title Felipe VI. Perfiles de un decenio (2014-2024), the work reviews this first decade since his ascension to the throne of Spain.
The king's reaction was emotional, and Felipe showed his gratitude to the president of the Real Academia de la Historia, Carmen Iglesias. Real Academia de la Historia and Legislature Permanente y Consejo de la Grandeza de España y Títulos del Reino have collaborated together.
Casa Real confirms the tribute King Felipe has received
Casa Real opened the doors of Palacio de la Zarzuela to welcome a very special visit with emotional overtones. King Felipe made room in his institutional schedule to receive a gift from the president of Real Academia de la Historia.
Casa Real itself has confirmed through several photos that King Felipe has received a commemorative book for his 10 years of reign. Felipe VI. Perfiles de un decenio (2014‑2024) was presented by Carmen Iglesias, president of Real Academia de la Historia, in an event full of institutional symbolism.
Representatives of Legislature de la Grandeza and Consejo de Títulos accompanied the academic during the presentation of the prestigious commemorative book. King Felipe reacted with great emotion and personally thanked them for this gesture.
The book features historical, institutional, and personal profiles from the decade of reign that began in June 2014. With more than 500 pages, the work offers a multidisciplinary analysis of his military work, social commitment, and public image. The event also included mentions of the complementary photographic exhibition that celebrates the decade of his reign by commemorating significant moments.
The work is part of an initiative organized by Real Academia de la Historia and Legislature Permanente de la Grandeza. The commemorative book joins other activities, such as the traveling exhibition that was present in several Spanish capitals. All of this is to pay tribute to this first decade of King Felipe's reign.
Casa Real shows King Felipe's reaction
In the photos shared by Casa Real, you can see the reaction King Felipe had during the event at Zarzuela. The king examined the cover, turned a few pages, and gave a slight smile, showing satisfaction with the editorial result.
His reaction was calm, cordial, and dignified, with a gesture of recognition toward those who participated in the creation of the work. Felipe took the opportunity to thank all the institutions involved in the tribute for their effort and dedication.
The work represents excellent documentation in all the areas and facets in which the king has been involved during this decade. It highlights, for example, a chapter dedicated to the queen and another to the Princess of Asturias and Infanta Sofía, about their institutional roles.
The commemorative book reaffirms a decade marked by transparency, commitment, and confirms the renewal carried out within the Spanish monarchical institution. King Felipe's main goal when he was crowned was to transform the Crown and adapt it to current times.
The work covers that entire journey and the work done, highlighting that this reign has regained the trust of the citizens. Thus, the bibliographic tribute reinforces the trend toward a head of state who is closer, more modern, and more committed to the people.
Felipe has witnessed the result of a solid joint effort that reflects his activity in different institutional spheres. His gestures during the presentation conveyed sincerity, interest, and a positive assessment of the legacy recognized in the editorial volume. The king concluded the audience by making the official photo of the reception.
