Infanta Sofía is 18 years old, is increasingly present on the royal agenda, and has already held her first honorary presidency. Something is changing in how the Crown positions her, and it shows. But there is one thing she has not yet done: give her first public speech. In all these years, we have only heard her speak on two occasions: once during the pandemic, in a Royal Household video where she read excerpts from Don Quixote alongside Leonor, and once again at the Women’s World Cup final in Australia. For many, the absence of a young woman who already…

On March 9, Westminster Abbey hosted the Commonwealth Day service, attended by the entire British royal family. King Charles and Queen Camilla presided over the service, while Princess Anne arrived with Timothy Laurence, and Prince William and Princess Catherine entered to applause from the onlookers gathered at the entrance. Kate wears an Emilia Wickstead coat dress Camilla chose red and garnered her share of attention, but Kate won the award for best dress in a navy blue coat dress by Emilia Wickstead. Made from wool crepe, the design had everything that works for an event like this: a fitted bodice,…

Commonwealth Day is one of those occasions that the Windsors never miss. Every year, the royal family gathers at Westminster Abbey for a service that celebrates the bonds between the countries of the Commonwealth of Nations, and this year was no exception. King Charles and Queen Camilla were among the last to arrive and were greeted by the Dean of Westminster and by Prince William and Princess Kate, who were already waiting at the entrance. Also present were Princess Anne, her husband Timothy Laurence, and the Dukes of Gloucester. It was the usual family gathering, but with more layers than…

The In Memoriam concert for the Victims of Terrorism is one of those events on the royal calendar that the King and Queen never miss. This year, the 24th edition was held at the National Music Auditorium in Madrid, featuring the RTVE Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, with performances by artists such as Miren Urbieta-Vega and Moisés Marín. A solemn and meaningful event, organized by the Victims of Terrorism Foundation. And Letizia, as always in these situations, arrived dressed exactly as the occasion demanded. Why Letizia wore black to the ‘In Memoriam’ 2026 concert Black was neither a coincidence nor an…

Something is happening with Princess Leonor that Spanish news outlets are only now realizing. For months, I have closely followed how the heiress to the Spanish throne has transitioned from being a name known only in Spain to becoming a figure of genuine curiosity outside her country. This isn’t just intuition or exaggeration; Google search data and our analysis confirm it. Searches for “Princess Leonor of Spain” have steadily increased, not only from Europe, but also from America, Asia, and other parts of the world that, let’s be honest, rarely pay attention to Spanish royalty. At Royal Family News, we…

The Mail on Sunday published the news, and it is quite striking. It appears Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie have been excluded from Royal Ascot this year. They will not be allowed in the Royal Box or participate in the carriage procession, a tradition that has existed since 1825 and is one of the most iconic moments of the event. The official reason is not a scheduling conflict. According to sources close to the palace, the decision stems from the scandal surrounding the House of York following the arrest of their father, former Prince Andrew, last month for alleged misconduct in…

Infanta Sofía has just embarked on her own path, and it certainly looks promising. After completing the International Baccalaureate with excellent grades at UWC Atlantic College in Wales, she chose to study Political Science and International Relations at Forward College in Lisbon. A decision made with the support of her parents and the Royal Household team, and one that makes a lot of sense considering the institutional role expected of her. The degree includes courses such as Political Theory, Contemporary History, Governance, Sustainable Development, and classes in leadership and ethics. It’s no coincidence. Sofia enjoys a freedom that Leonor does…

Queen Letizia traveled to Castellón to preside over the main event of World Rare Disease Day, organized by FEDER, the Spanish Federation of Rare Diseases, as part of its campaign “because every person matters.” On this occasion, she did so in her dual role as queen and as the federation’s honorary president. It was also her first official visit to the city, and she arrived at the Auditorium and Congress Palace with her characteristic punctuality, where dozens of people awaited her. Queen Letizia’s turquoise Carolina Herrera suit For this occasion, the look was a new one, and it was quite…

Queen Maxima attended the annual iftar held at the Grand Hotel Kurhaus in Scheveningen, The Hague, where around four hundred guests from diverse cultures and religions gathered to break their fast together. Maxima of the Netherlands arrived after sunset, signed the guest book, and received a portrait of King Willem-Alexander as a gift, which she acknowledged with her trademark smile. For the occasion, she chose a dark blue ensemble crafted from pieces in her own wardrobe—a practice the Anglo-Saxons call upcycling—and one that, as always, Maxima makes more interesting than anyone else. A short blouse paired with a satin midi…

A TikTok video has gone viral, garnering over 444,300 views and 35,900 likes. This is about the relationship between Princes William and Harry and their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. While this isn’t breaking news, time flows differently online, and this kind of emotional content continues to resonate with audiences years later. The video showcases shared moments between the three, beginning with footage of the grandchildren’s vigil in Westminster Hall in September 2022, days before the Queen’s funeral. There was a story behind that vigil. Buckingham Palace had originally planned a vigil for Elizabeth’s children, but it was expanded to include…

Infanta Sofia, now 18, is studying in Lisbon and has recently taken a step that signals the beginning of something new. Felipe and Letizia’s youngest daughter will assume the honorary presidency of the Docentes Referentes program, an initiative of the Ibercaja Foundation. The official event is scheduled to take place before the summer, with Sofia as the sole protagonist. This is her first significant institutional role, and the timing is no coincidence. With Leonor increasingly established as heiress, it’s time for her younger sister to begin building her own profile. This isn’t the first time Sofia has acted alone. We…

It’s no secret that the Spanish royal family attracts attention beyond Spain’s borders. Letizia has been a leading figure in international fashion media for years, and that attention has now extended to her daughters. But what I found interesting this week was reading the impressions of Stephanie Bridger-Linning, director of the British magazine Tatler and a royalty expert, who spoke about Leonor in an interview with Vanity Fair. Someone who follows European monarchies from the inside and has a well-formed opinion about the Spanish heiress. Bridger-Linning recalls that her first significant experience covering Leonor was the public speech she delivered…
