“The Queen joins me in wishing you a full recovery.”

“Shocked by the terrible attack”are the first words of the King Philip VI following the attempted assassination of Donald Trump on Sunday morning. The monarch has sent a letter, under the emblem of the Royal House, to the former president of the United States to show his support and that of Queen Letizia at this delicate moment given the ‘close’ diplomatic relationship they maintain.

“I would like to convey to you, along with the Queen, our solidarity and relief at knowing that your injuries are not serious. I also want to express to all the beloved people of the United States of America My strongest condemnation of any act of violence“a, even more so when it is directed against the values ​​of democracy,” wrote Princess Leonor’s father under the signature of His Majesty the King of Spain.

He also wanted to highlight the Queen’s shock by saying that Letizia “also joins me, Mr. President, to We wish you and the injured a full recovery, and we send our condolences to the family of the deceased.”. As a farewell, he said: “I take this opportunity to convey to you the testimony of my highest consideration and personal esteem.”
