Spanish Royal Family travels to Greece for private holidays

The Spanish Royal Family, including King Felipe VI, Queen Letizia, and their daughters, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía, have reportedly chosen Greece for their private summer holidays.

According to Spanish media reports and flight tracking data, a Dassault Falcon 900 aircraft departed from the Balearic Islands on August 13 and landed in Greece in the afternoon. It is speculated that Queen Letizia and the two princesses traveled on this flight, while King Felipe VI arrived separately after staying in Mallorca to observe a total solar eclipse, an activity reflecting his interest in astronomy.

The family follows specific security protocols that prevent the King and the heir to the throne from traveling together to ensure the continuity of the monarchy. The choice of Greece is noted as a recurring preference, potentially linked to the Greek heritage of Queen Sofía, the King's mother.
