Happy Birthday, King Felipe! I hope he will find time in his busy schedule to celebrate his special day. He is a diplomatic, noble & graceful king. Nobody is as special as he his.

QuoteFelipe Juan Pablo Alfonso de Todos los Santos was born on 30 January 1968 at the Nuestra Señora de Loreto Clinic in Madrid, Spain, to then Infante Juan Carlos and Infanta Sofía of Spain. He is their youngest child and only son; he has two older sisters, Infantas Elena (b. 1963) and Cristina (b. 1965).

He was christened into the Roman Catholic Church on 8 February 1968 at Zarzuela Palace with Casimiro Morcillo, the Archbishop of Madrid officiating. His godparents were his paternal great-grandmother Queen Victoria Eugenie of Spain and his paternal grandfather Infante Juan of Spain, Count of Barcelona.

Felipe is of royal blood on both sides of his family. While his paternal family ruled over Spain, his maternal family had ruled over Greece until a military junta abolished the monarchy in 1967. His maternal uncle is Greece's former monarch, King Constantine. His aunt by marriage, Queen Anne-Marie, was born Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark – the daughter of King Frederick IX of Denmark and sister of Denmark's current Queen Margrethe.
