Felipe and Juan Carlos at King Constantine’s memorial service
One of the most emotional moments of the memorial service was the gesture of closeness and affection between King Felipe and his father, King Emeritus Juan Carlos, which even went viral on social media.
A photograph captured the moment when King Felipe helped his father out of the chapel, with the former monarch leaning on his son’s arm.
Once outside, the two continued to walk hand in hand, with King Felipe holding his father’s cane.
This gesture revealed the authentic relationship between Juan Carlos I and his son, beyond the official circumstances and institutional estrangement.
Since the King Emeritus went to live in Abu Dhabi, there have been very few occasions when they have been seen together, so this gesture took on a special significance and demonstrated the affection and respect that father and son have for each other.
