Felipe VI, Letizia and their daughters: why a spontaneous surprise walk for their first photo in Palma

The Sanxenxo-Palma connection is in the center of focus. Felipe VI and Juan Carlos I: two Kings, two regattas, two destinations and more than 1,300 kilometers away. Letizia and her daughters, Leonor and Sofia, have entered this summer news scenario. How and why has this first outing for the Kings in Mallorca been designed like this?

The Queen has been the absolute protagonist of its premiere on the Palma agenda at the Atlàntida Mallorca Fest. She has been this Sunday the 30th. She passed like a torrent, with a dress from Uterqüe and a maximum tan (pay attention to the babycore pink of this second outfit). A few hours after the official closing of the indie film festival, the queen has reappeared with her husband and her daughters, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía. This is the first still photograph of the Royal Family in their official summer in the Balearic capital.

This summer presents novelties. It looks like a copy-paste of last year’s agenda. But is not. In 2022, the consort opened her acts at the Fest and, the next day, there was a walk of the Kings with the princess of Asturias and her sister. It was during the visit to the Cartuja de Valldemossa and it was an official act. This is how the first snapshot on the island was configured: an institutional pose.

However, on this occasion for that first outing of the Kings, a spontaneous image that marks everything has been sought. Firstly, because we don’t have content from the output and because it is designed precisely for that, to compose an image of closeness and naturalness with those colors of the Mediterranean sunset that are so favourable. Everything thought to the millimeter.
