The royal couple and their daughters, Princess Leonor, 19, and Princess Sofia, 18, are said to be vacationing in southern Greece. HOLA! reported that the Spanish royal family's Falcon aircraft flew from Spain to Athens last week, hinting at a royal getaway. It's thought that the foursome may be staying at a residence owned by King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands. The private property in the Peloponnese region includes a tennis court, a swimming pool, a private beach and an exclusive harbour — perfect for the Spanish King, who loves to sail. Prior to their Greek getaway, the royal family spent time in Mallorca, their traditional summer holiday destination. They hosted a dinner at the Marivent Palace in Palma de Mallorca and attended an exhibition by the artist Joan Miro in La Lonja. However, Andrea Caamano, HELLO!'s Digital Content Director reported that King Felipe, Queen Letizia and their daughters were then looking for a more private getaway, as Mallorca is "very open to the media and the public." "Their vacation in Greece is their real time away from the spotlight, it's ultra-private and where the royals can truly disconnect. They have a warm relationship with the Dutch royals, and have previously stayed at King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima's Greek abode, so it's no surprise that they have chosen to travel there again this year," Caamano said. The two royal families share several special connections. King Felipe's mother, Queen Sofia, was born in Athens as Princess Sofia of Greece and Denmark. She renounced her Greek titles when she converted to Catholicism to marry then-Infante Juan Carlos of Spain in 1962. Additionally, the Spanish royal family helped host King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima's eldest daughter, Princess Catharina-Amalia, 21, when she studied abroad for a year in Madrid after receiving kidnapping threats at the University of Amsterdam in 2022. Last year, the Dutch King shared his gratitude towards the Spanish royal family for helping his daughter and heir maintain her studies during the tumultuous time. "This was made possible by the kind efforts of many of your compatriots and yourselves. A touching demonstration of friendship at a difficult time. I'd like to express my heartfelt thanks to you and everyone else who helped arrange this," he said during a banquet welcoming the Spanish King and Queen on an official visit. The summer break comes as Princess Leonor is currently in the midst of a three-year military training program as she prepares to follow in her father's footsteps. On July 16, during a ceremony at Escuela Naval in Pontevedra, Spain, the King promoted his daughter to the rank of Midshipman of 2nd grade and awarded her the Grand Cross of Naval Merit. Befitting her status as the future commander of Spain's armed forces, the Princess of Asturias wore a white naval uniform for the ceremony, standing side-by-side with her father. Next up, Leonor will complete her third and final year of training at the Air Force Academy in San Javier, Murcia. Read the original article on People
