Just a few days ago, King Felipe VI (57 years old) and Queen Letizia (52 years old) began their private vacation. However, the monarchs haven't wanted to reveal the destination, since they've sought to disconnect from everything related to the public sphere. Although now a media outlet from England has leaked information that the Royal Household didn't expect to see about Infanta Sofía's getaway: her destination.
The mystery didn't last long, since the route of the official plane gave away the location. The aircraft landed in Athens (Athína), and the Spanish Royal Family traveled to Greece. They didn't travel alone, as it has become known that they've stayed at a residence belonging to other members of European royalty.
These holidays have turned out to be bittersweet. The delicate situation of Irene of Greece has worried the royals. For this reason, Queen Sofía only attended the traditional Marivent reception in Mallorca.
Sofía is enjoying a few days with her family
On top of this, there was a new blow last Friday: Jaime Anglada, a close friend of Felipe VI, suffered a serious accident. He remains in the ICU. Two circumstances have cast a shadow over the royal rest.
Despite everything, Felipe and Letizia have tried to disconnect and have used these days to recharge their energy. The September schedule looks intense: Princess Leonor is about to complete her military training, and Infanta Sofía is about to begin her university studies in Lisbon.
This summer has had a special meaning. In just two weeks, the royals will once again be alone in Zarzuela, without their daughters, although the palace will remain inhabited.
The plan seemed clear: enjoy Greece and visit one of its paradisiacal islands. However, it wasn't the Spanish press that revealed more details.
No one in the Royal Household expected the information England leaked about Sofía
No one in the Royal Household expected the information England leaked about Sofía, but the British press got the exclusive. The outlet People has indicated that the quartet may have stayed at a residence belonging to King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, a private and exclusive mansion. This isn't the first time the Spanish family has chosen this place.
The Royal Household hasn't been able to stop the leak. England has revealed where Infanta Sofía spent part of her vacation, a revelation that has broken the usual secrecy.
The trip, which was meant to be discreet, has ended up under the international spotlight. Thus, the summer of the royals and their daughters has been marked by an unexpected exclusive.
