The secret meeting of the kings in Zarzuela in their week with no official agenda

One of the most anticipated times of the week is when, every Friday, the Kings of Spain, they announce their official agenda for the following week. Usually, between the joint and individual acts, they collect a dozen of which the media does not lose any details. However, last week was somewhat special. The lack of activity of the monarch and her consort attracted attention. There was nothing on the program until last Thursday, November 10, something that didn’t seem too normal. There was speculation in some groups about the possibility that they had decided to build a bridge on the occasion of the feast of La Almudena, on the 9th of that month. Be that as it may, now information about this absence of work from Don Felipe and Doña Letizia has emerged.

As published pride, it has been learned that the kings performed a professional act that for some reason was not included in the weekly schedule. took place on Monday 7 Nov. That day Felipe and Letizia worked for imposing the command of Carlos III on Frigdiano Álvaro Durántez Prados, who served for over ten years, between 2009 and 2022, as Vocal Adviser for Studies and Reports of the House of HM de Koning. This imposition comes in recognition of the services rendered to the Crown and to Spain during that long period of time when the King imposed the Order of Carlos III on Dr. Durántez in the degree of honorable mention. The Royal and Distinguished Spanish Order of Carlos III is the most important civilian honor of the Kingdom of Spain.

For those who do not know the winner, it should be noted that F. Álvaro Durántez has held the positions of director of institutional relations of the Fundación Universitaria Iberoamericana and of the FUNIBER chair of Ibero-American Studies and Iberophony, in addition to being a professor at the European University of the Atlantic (UNEATLANTICO), as reported on Funiber’s official website. There is only one image of the moment and that is the image at the beginning of this paragraph. In it you can see the three very smiling. Felipe VI looks more casual than usual by not wearing a tie, while Mrs. Letizia showed a very sober facet, wearing a navy blue tailored suit that she mixed with a white blouse.

These images serve to make it clear that the King and Queen of Spain are more active than meets the eye when sending their official agenda to the media. They hold meetings together, apart, and even prepare some of the speeches they give at their events. In Letizia’s case, she is strongly committed to the fight against cancer, to rare diseases or to the reintegration of women in prostitution.

Aside from this information informing about SS.MM the Kings private moves, there is no doubt that the scheduling of both will intensify from next Wednesday. That’s when they move to Croatia except for another official trip that Letizia made alone in New York last September. They are expected to land in the capital Zagreb at exactly 12:00 am. There they will be courted with an honorable welcome ceremony before meeting the president, Zoran Milanović, and his wife, Sanja Music Milanović, whom they met months ago at the NATO summit dinner.

The main purpose of the trip to Croatian territory is the signing of the first major international agreement on the particle accelerator to be built in Granada. The government of Croatia has promised to finance 5% of a new center, the IFMIF Dones, which will be built in the town of Escúzar.
