Spanish Royal Family's 2016 summer vacation

[Jennifer]

This thread is for news about the Spanish Royal Family's 2016 summer vacation.

It is nice that King Felipe, Queen Letizia and their children will attend Infanta Pilar's 80th birthday party! I don't know if Infanta Pilar will allow the media to take pictures of her and the family at this event. She probably want to relax and let this stay private. Any pictures they personally take will be kept among themselves and not revealed to the public.

The Spanish Royal family is expected this weekend on vacation-island of Mallorca for the celebration of the 80th birthday Saturday of Infanta Pilar, the sister of King-emeritus Juan Carlos. Pilar is already a few days on the island, where Queen Sofia also all to her summer vacation began in Marivent Palace.

The party, for which the whole family with the exception of Princess Cristina and her husband Iñaki is invited, coincides with the start of the regatta to the King's Cup. King Felipe has been fixed participant, though it is nowadays not to only one or two races and more all week. This year is also Pierre Casiraghi, son of Princess Caroline of Hanover and Monaco, expected among the participants.

Letizia happy with limitation holiday Majorca

Every disadvantage has its advantage. That life wisdom of footballer Johan Cruyff also applies to the Spanish Queen Letizia. Her husband King Felipe can actually no vacation days recording as long as Spain no new Government has. He must remain on call and this week is expected to commute between the traditional holiday at Marivent Palace on Mallorca and home to Zarzuela in Madrid.

That Letizia good. The Queen has a hate holiday on the Balearic Island, hard prick for decades on the agenda of her in-laws. Not so much because of Mallorca itself but because of the total lack of privacy. Each step with the kids outside the door is by tourists and paparazzi, and Letizia no need to.

I like how this family enjoyed their vacation at a restaurant. King Felipe and Queen Letizia are happy to take some time off to relax . They've worked very hard this year and deserve a vacation. Their daughters, Princess Leonor and Princess Sofia look lovely in their summer dresses. I think Victoria and Friolan have grown up so much! They look ready for college. It will not be long before Princess Leonor and Princess Sofia are teenagers. Time flies so fast!

Felipe: this is a typical summer vacation

King Felipe at the photo session Thursday evening at his holiday at Marivent Palace in Palma on the island of Majorca admitted that the holiday this year ' atypical '. "It's all a little unusual, but we must customize", he said to the press prior to posing with his wife Letizia and daughters Leonor and Sofia.

The reason the holiday does not expire as usual is the uncertain political situation in Spain. In the last six months, there are two parliamentary elections. Who have no clear winner and to create a new multiparty Government must work together. But the biggest four mutually exclusive in many combinations, whereby even a third balloting threatens. "But I don't want to go into politics", said Felipe.

Queen Sofia is such a fantastic grandmother. In fact, she is one of the best grandmothers in the world. The grandchildren are always happy when they see her. It is wonderful how she does great things for them. She went sailing will all her grandchildren, except Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia. It is such a pity those girls did not come along. I would've loved to see them together. Maybe they will join them later this week or next year. :) :happycry:
