King Felipe and Queen Letizia take the final step and the consequences surprise everyone
Social media haven't hesitated to echo and comment on what Princess Leonor's parents have done
King Felipe and Queen Letizia are once again the talk of the town, but not because of institutional events or state visits. This time, the royal couple has made a strategic decision that's generating a wave of reactions. It's a change that marks a turning point in the way they connect with citizens and that's receiving a flood of praise.
It's a final step that had been in the works for some time and has now materialized: the renewal of the Royal Household's communication model. Now, they are opting for a more human, modern, and direct presence on social media, which has pleasantly surprised much of the population.

King Felipe and Queen Letizia make a crucial decision
The new communication strategy of the Royal Household is based on three pillars: closeness, transparency, and adaptation to the times. It's no longer just about official statements or rigid protocol images. Now, on the institution's digital profiles, citizens can see King Felipe and Queen Letizia like never before.
In their new posts, they show more spontaneous moments, natural gestures, and scenes that allow people to get to know their human side better. For example, it's common to see them taking photos with ordinary citizens or exchanging interesting conversations with them.
This shift toward a more genuine communication has been interpreted as a clear attempt to distance themselves from the style of Juan Carlos I, whose reign was damaged by various scandals. In contrast, the current royal couple work to build an image based on honesty, institutional respect, transparency, and public commitment.
That work also includes a technological renewal within the Royal Household. The digital channels have been updated, the content has been strengthened, and every detail is carefully managed to offer a more accessible and direct informational experience.
Reactions on social media: applause for the Royal Household's new style
The results of this change haven't taken long to appear. On platforms like X, formerly Twitter, many users have applauded this transformation. Comments such as "The Royal Household's communication change is the best," "Naturalness and spontaneity," and "They show us who they really are" reflect the widespread acceptance of this new phase.
It's no longer unusual to see short videos where Felipe and Letizia smile, ask questions, or interact with citizens at public events. Even their daughters, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía, have also appeared in more relaxed clips, showing a closeness that was unthinkable years ago.
This shift not only brings the Royal Family closer to the public, but also modernizes their image. It shows monarchs who are aware of the digital world, concerned about connecting with new generations. Of course, committed to the role the monarchy must play in the 21st century.

Moreover, this change is part of a broader strategy to strengthen the institution. King Felipe and Queen Letizia know that public trust is earned day by day, and that official events alone aren't enough. It's necessary to communicate, connect, and show transparency on all fronts.
In this context, opening Zarzuela's virtual doors has been a masterstroke. It allows them to show that behind the suits and speeches there are people with emotions, concerns, and empathy. People who represent a nation, but who aren't above it.
