These days, the Spanish Royal Family is enjoying its traditional summer vacation in Mallorca.
As he does every year, King Felipe has been participating in the island’s regattas. But on one of those days, something caught the eye. The father of Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia appeared with a bandage on his left leg.
King Felipe’s leg injury
Everything points to the small bandage covering a minor injury, probably a scratch typical of those who sail.
Spanish media reported that during one of the regattas on Thursday, a sail on the sailboat collapsed very close to him, just as he was checking something in his backpack.

Although the scene caused a scare among those present, Felipe did not flinch. He looked up, glanced at the sail, and continued with what he was doing as if nothing had happened.
The curious thing is that, although the sail did not touch him, the next day he appeared with that bandage, which did not go unnoticed.
There has been no statement, which also indicates that it is nothing serious. In fact, he got back on the Aifos as if nothing had happened, showing no discomfort and walking normally.
