UK monarchy Spain state visit preparation
Entities: King Charles III · Queen Letizia · King Felipe VI · Queen Camilla · United Kingdom
Overview
In late May 2024, King Charles III and Queen Camilla opened the 45th Canadian parliamentary session, an event that also noted a prospective state visit to Spain in the second half of 2027 to reinforce post‑Brexit ties. Over the following months, the royal couple continued a busy public‑duty schedule, including Commonwealth Games duties and engagements in Northern Ireland. By July 2026 the visit had been formally announced: the first trip to Spain by a reigning British monarch since 1988, timed after the EU‑UK Gibraltar agreement that eased border checks. King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia are set to host the British royals, underscoring deepening bilateral relations.
