This is being a busy summer for the royal family. The celebration of the Olympic Games in Paris has marked a large part of the holidays King Felipe and Queen Letizia and their daughters, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia, who in recent days have taken turns supporting Spanish athletes in the French capital.
But also, King Felipe and Queen Letizia They have been seen in Mallorca, the epicentre of their summer holidays, where last Sunday they enjoyed their first family outing. The only one this summer. And although there were many who were waiting for the traditional photo shoot that the Kings and their daughters give us every summer, it seems that this year it will not take place.

King Felipe and Queen Letizia and their daughters say goodbye to Mallorca to enjoy their private holidays
For years, King Felipe and Queen Letizia have reserved some days of their vacation to enjoy with their daughters away from the media spotlight. A destination that is not usually revealed, at least officially, and in which the royal family usually goes unnoticed.
And as the Royal Family expert Mariángel Álcazar has pointed out, it seems that King Felipe and Queen Letizia have already said goodbye to the Balearic island for this year to begin those days of relaxation with the family. “Obviously, It seems to me that they are not in Mallorca at the moment” The journalist, who until a few hours ago was sharing a holiday destination with the King and Queen, has assured. A destination that, as numerous sources have confirmed, is not to the liking of Queen Letizia.
“The Queen has a disagreement with Mallorca, Because from the very first moment, when she arrived as a princess, there was too much attention there. There was King Juan Carlos in office, who was a difficult man to deal with. She developed a certain aversion to what it was like to be in Marivent all together, and during the ten years that she was Princess of Asturias, first with her husband and then with her children, He took up the habit of going on private vacations. A habit that she continues now. And she considers that she cannot have those holidays in Mallorca, because there is press” the journalist pointed out in the program ‘Let’s see’.

As you can imagine, the destination chosen by King Felipe and Queen Letizia It is a secret that is never revealed, mainly for security reasons. However, it has not been possible to avoid it coming to light on occasion. This happened in 2010, when they spent their private holidays in the Portuguese Algarve; in 2010, when a tourist photographed Queen Letizia in a bikini on the Greek islands; in 2015 when they enjoyed a few days in Istanbul, as confirmed by the Turkish media, or in 2016, when they were in Croatia.
These are tourist destinations where King Felipe and Queen Letizia manage to go almost unnoticed. Something that would have led them to repeat, like this year, as revealed by the expert on the Royal House: “The latest movements indicate that they have been in Greece.” A destination known to the Kings and within easy reach of their return if their presence is required in Spain.
Yes, this year, The royal family’s private vacation will be short, since on August 16, King Felipe VI will be present at the inauguration of the President of the Dominican Republic, Luis Abinader.
