The last event attended by King Felipe and Queen Letizia had a detail that did not go unnoticed.
Both were at the opening of the International Tourism Fair, an event they never miss, as we have reported here at RoyalFamily.news.
During their tour, they made a stop at the Morocco stand, marking the end of their visit.
The royals showed interest in what was offered at the stand, but there was a curious moment: when they were offered to taste some typical sweets, they politely declined the invitation.
This gesture surprised many and raised questions as to why they did not consume what was offered.
Why don’t King Felipe and Queen Letizia eat at their royal events?
The explanation behind this refusal is quite reasonable. According to the Spanish press, Felipe VI and Letizia do not have a problem with Moroccan gastronomy, but rather their refusal is due to security reasons.
Sources close to the Royal Household have explained that at this type of event, they cannot eat anything that has not been previously supervised by an inspector.
Essentially, it is a matter of protocol and health precaution.
So, when the royals say “no”, it is because the food has not passed the control, protecting their health and safety.
In fact, there are occasions when they do taste food, but always with an inspector present in the kitchen to ensure that everything is safe for them. This detail highlights the real protocol.
