Letizia’s Cursed Vacation in Majorca

The royal family is already in Palma de Mallorca to start their long-awaited summer vacation. While King Felipe VI landed at Son Sant Joan military airbase last Thursday afternoon; It was only last Sunday when at about 6pm the Queen Letizia and their daughters came to the famous Balearic Island, as they have been noted by several local media. The Queen landed in Mallorca just hours before the closing ceremony of the 12th edition of the Atlàntida Mallorca Film Fest 2022, which was to be chaired by Letizia herself.

A new commitment to its official agenda that took place in the courtyard of the Misericòrdia Cultural Center; and for which Doña Letizia decided to opt for a very summery and natural look for her first public appearance on the island. The Queen left the eccentricity to wear a comfortable black satin dress, ideal for the summer season. It is a midi length design with a halter neckline. He also boasted tans and muscular arms with great success.

Despite betting on a very simple design, it wouldn’t be long before the Spanish consort would create a stir by appearing in Mallorca for the first time so far this summer. In this case, Doña Letizia decided to pair her Zara dress with shoes she wanted to wink at the island; leave high-heeled shoes or classic espadrilles in your closet which are so often worn at this time of year. Felipe VI’s wife chose flat-jeweled sandals signed by Magrit, which premiered in Palma exactly in the summer of 2012 and have been one of her favorites ever since. To complete her style, Doña Letizia chose to wear her hair in the wind and reveal her precious earrings full of dazzling zircons; a jewel that she already used to attend the last edition of this film festival and with which she managed to give her outfit a very elegant touch.

That is why Felipe and Letizia have often gone to an unknown destination with their daughters for years to enjoy their summer holidays in private. This year, the kings and their daughters, as is customary with them, have settled in their own home: Son Guy; one of the three houses attached to the Marivent Palace that were built in the 1990s so that both Don Felipe and his sisters Elena and Cristina could enjoy their privacy during their summer stay in Mallorca. Despite this, Doña Letizia has never felt completely at ease during her holidays in Palma.

A holiday that has always been dominated by the sailing regatta Copa del Rey; a tradition of the Bourbon family that failed to dazzle Queen Letizia. And it is that, it is known that the Spanish partner has never been interested in these issues, something that clashes head on with the passion that her husband feels for the sea. Nor do Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia seem to have inherited their father’s taste for sailing; so it wouldn’t be surprising that we could only see King Felipe VI going to the Club Náutico facilities in Mallorca for the next few days.
