The lifestyle of European royalty has changed in recent years and no longer fits the clichés of the past. Royal families have left excesses behind to embrace healthier routines that combine sports and careful nutrition.
Spain and Denmark have recently made headlines for a detail that confirms what had long been an open secret. Queen Letizia and King Frederik share more than it seems and have made it part of their public image.
A trend that conquers European royalty
The healthy movement has quickly conquered the European Gotha, and more and more royals are incorporating it into their daily lives. From balanced diets to demanding sports, well-being has become a hallmark.
Queen Sofía was, in a way, a forerunner of this trend in the Spanish royal family. She decided to stop eating meat after her father's death, and today her diet focuses on fruits and vegetables. Her example paved the way for later generations.
The same pattern is repeated in other countries. Kate Middleton is known for her strict vegetarian diet and her passion for sports. Máxima of the Netherlands transformed her husband's and daughters' routines to integrate them into a healthier lifestyle.
The open secret of Letizia and Frederik of Denmark
King Frederik and Queen Letizia have confirmed what for years was a rumor: both share a life marked by the "healthy lifestyle." They are united by a passion for sports and a balanced diet that has become part of their personal brand.
Letizia follows the well-known Perricone diet, based on anti-inflammatory foods and with a ban on processed products, such as alcohol or fried foods. In addition, she keeps a strict exercise plan that has completely toned her body. Her love of fitness is public and well known.
Meanwhile, Frederik has run marathons in Copenhagen, New York, and Paris. As a member of the International Olympic Committee, he promotes sports in society. His personal schedule includes constant training and a strong commitment to an active life.
The healthy trend among other royals on the continent
Prince Daniel of Sweden is an example of overcoming challenges thanks to his passion for sports. He founded his own gym, worked as a personal trainer, and met Crown Princess Victoria there. Today he combines his institutional role with being a fitness reference.
In Luxembourg, Prince Félix stands out as a multidisciplinary athlete. He plays tennis, soccer, and skis, in addition to following a diet free of fats and carbohydrates. His athletic achievements made him "best athlete" at his school for several consecutive years.
Charlene of Monaco, a former Olympic swimmer, remains connected to physical activity with daily routines that include cardio and weightlifting. Her vegetarian diet and her love for sports such as surfing or hiking reinforce her image as a symbol of vitality.
The healthy trend is no longer an isolated trait but a generational hallmark within European royalty. The coincidence between Letizia and Frederik confirms that well-being has become a symbol of modernity and commitment. Everything suggests that the future of the Gotha will be marked by a balanced diet and a passion for sports.
