Unforgettable announcement from the royal household about Queen Letizia: only months left and it will be official

It's now official that Letizia will visit Jaén with Felipe to celebrate the 1,200th anniversary of its status as a capital

Casa Real has made an unforgettable announcement, marking the calendar: Queen Letizia and King Felipe will visit Jaén to commemorate a historic event. The event will be official, but there are still a few months left before it takes place. The royals will attend the celebration of the 1,200th anniversary (1,200 years) of Jaén's status as a capital, an event that was postponed in April due to an unexpected blackout.

This announcement, which has surprised many, reaffirms the monarchy's institutional commitment to historic communities. The question now is inevitable: What will this state visit be like in a city that has been preparing for this moment for months?

Unforgettable announcement from Casa Real about Queen Letizia and King Felipe's presence in Jaén

Jaén's status as a capital turns 1,200 years (1,200 years) old in 2025, and the anniversary has been celebrated since the beginning of the year with dozens of cultural, social, and institutional events. According to the mayor himself, Julio Millán, the assessment of these first six months has been "very satisfactory." He especially emphasized the "social involvement" of Jaén's residents in a commemoration that has managed to "take root in our city."

The news has been received with enthusiasm by both the authorities and the public. "The visit of the Kings of Spain could take place next November," confirmed Mayor Julio Millán to the media. Although there is still no definitive date, Casa Real's commitment is clear and firm.

This support also comes after the forced postponement in April, when a major blackout required the event to be rescheduled. Far from resulting in a definitive cancellation, that setback has helped strengthen ties and redouble organizational efforts ahead of November.

Expectations are high. Both the City Council and various cultural organizations are already working on the logistics and programming of this event. A schedule full of parallel activities, exhibitions, cultural gatherings, and tributes is expected to take place around the royal visit.

Queen Letizia will lead a symbolic event

The presence of Queen Letizia and King Felipe represents top-level support for Jaén's historical significance. This is a city that has played an essential role in Spain's history, although it is often forgotten in major official agendas.

Although official details have yet to be revealed, Queen Letizia is expected to play a central role during the commemorative event. It would not be the first time she has represented the Crown at events of great cultural, historical, and symbolic importance. In fact, her involvement in matters related to heritage and historical memory has been a constant since her arrival at Zarzuela.

This visit is also part of a series of institutional trips by the royals to different regions of the country. In these, Queen Letizia has shown a special sensitivity toward less visible territories. In that sense, her presence in Jaén will not be merely representative, but part of a strategy of closeness with the public.

The confirmation from Casa Real about the visit of Queen Letizia and King Felipe to Jaén represents an unforgettable announcement for the city. The official event for the 1,200th anniversary (1,200 years) of its status as a capital symbolizes the union between history and institutional commitment. Everything suggests that this gathering will mark one of the most emotional and significant moments on the royal calendar.
