After that of Kate Middleton and William, then that of the royal family of Jordan, it is the turn of the king and queen of Spain to unveil their greeting card for the new year. Friday, December 17, 2021, Felipe VI and Letizia have indeed revealed the photo chosen this year to accompany their wishes. If the sovereign couple had eclipsed last year, for the benefit of their two daughters, the clan poses this time in full.
According to the information of Hello!, the family portrait was produced in the gardens of the Zarzuela Palace, in Madrid. Princesses Leonor and Sofia (16 and 14) are always in the foreground, all smiles, their blond manes forward, warm in their winter sweaters (see slideshow). When you look at it, the two sisters show their tender bond as they hold hands. Behind them stand their parents: Felipe and Letizia also appear smiling, in rather relaxed poses.
“Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2022“, can we read on the back of the card.”With all our affection and our best“, it was added by hand, before the signatures of the sovereign couple and their two princesses. The four appearances are now rare for Felipe and Letizia, now that Crown Princess Leonor has left for Wales to continue his high school studies at UWC Atlantic College, an elitist school worthy of films Harry potter… The teenager had nevertheless returned last October to take part in the Princess of Asturias Awards, to the delight of her little sister Sofia.
While awaiting the return of her elder sister, Queen Letizia has remained busy in recent weeks. Returning from their official trip to Sweden with Felipe, the 50-year-old former journalist has since reappeared in Madrid, her daring red thigh-high boots on her feet.
