Important announcement from Palacio de la Zarzuela about King Felipe VI: it's exciting

The Palacio de la Zarzuela surprised everyone this Wednesday with a very special announcement: Kings Felipe VI and Letizia have modified their official schedule. They were about to conclude their public commitments for this week because they had several events scheduled for this very Wednesday. However, a last-minute change has altered everything.

The Palacio de la Zarzuela has announced an extension in the kings' schedule. They have communicated unexpected and exciting news, Felipe VI and Letizia will travel to Rome this Sunday. The reason is very significant: They will attend the enthronement mass of the new Pope, León XIV.

It will be a historic trip, the kings will lead the Spanish delegation. They will travel to Vatican City to attend the mass marking the beginning of the Petrine ministry of the Bishop of Rome. The event will take place in St. Peter's Square.

Everyone is pleased with the news given by the Palacio de la Zarzuela about King Felipe VI

This will be the first time the kings attend an enthronement mass as monarchs. They had a previous occasion. It was in 2013, during the enthronement of Pope Francis, but on that occasion, they did so as Princes of Asturias.

Don Juan Carlos and Doña Sofía were still on the throne then. However, they decided not to attend, and Felipe and Letizia assumed that role. A responsibility that foreshadowed their future as kings.

Since then, more than a decade has passed. Felipe VI has consolidated his role as head of state. Letizia, meanwhile, has accompanied the king in all the great moments.

This time, their presence has been an open secret, although it hadn't been confirmed until now, many expected it. The kings have already been present at Pope Francis's funeral. Everything pointed to them repeating a visit to the Vatican.

They will be accompanied by other European royal houses. As was the case at the funeral of the previous Pontiff. This gesture strengthens the diplomatic and spiritual ties between Spain and the Vatican.

Everyone has reacted with enthusiasm because it is an announcement that has moved many. Felipe VI will attend the enthronement mass of Pope León XIV, which is a historic event and a unique occasion.
