Rumors in recent weeks about a possible crisis in the marriage of King Felipe and Queen Letizia seem to increase due to the recent decisions of the King and Queen of Spain. In addition, it is still a mystery whether they will attend the reception planned at Buckingham Palace.
A few hours before the coronation of King Charles, many representatives of the royal houses of Europe and dignitaries from around the world are already traveling to London for the coronation ceremony of the new king and the new Queen Camilla. An unprecedented spectacle that will bring together more than 2,000 personalities from around the world.

Queen Letizia at King Charles’ coronation
Spanish media, such as Lecturas magazine, highlighted that the king and queen would attend the coronation, but each one on their own. Contrary to the theory of an alleged marital crisis, the couple must travel separately due to their work commitments.
While Letizia has a free agenda to prepare for the big day, Felipe has had to travel to the Spanish town of Lugo this Friday to face the act of proclamation of the ‘Scientific Research Award 2023’ of the Princess of Girona Foundation. However, it is expected that this afternoon he will travel to London to join Queen Letizia and the first images of the kings on British soil can be seen.
At around 6 p.m. a reception will begin for the “foreign guests” who have traveled to the English capital to accompany Charles III on such an important day for him. By way of thanks, the firstborn of Elizabeth II and his wife have wanted to gather some of their guests at Buckingham Palace.
It is not known if Felipe and Letizia will attend, since, at least for the moment, they have not confirmed their presence at the dinner.
How long will Felipe and Letizia stay in London?
Felipe and Letizia’s stay in London will be brief. In fact, it is expected that after the ceremony at Westminster Abbey, which will last until 2 p.m., the King and Queen will head to Spain, as Felipe VI has an appointment in Seville at 10 p.m. for the final of the Copa del Rey.
