The Spanish royalty and all you need to know about them

Part 1 of 2

Royal families are always the centre of attention and people are always eager to know more about their lives, therefore, their every move is closely monitored by the media. This is one of the reasons why the members of these families often make the headlines of influential magazines.

Now if you think that the British Royalty has gone through so much during the recent years, it’s in fact every royalty that deals with their own issues despite all the money and the fame.

Spain welcomed a new king in 2014. Prince Felipe took the throne after King Juan Carlos, his father, abdicated following a number of scandals. The former ruler found himself in a middle of a corruption investigation and his reputation took a massive blow. Shortly after, in 2012, he went on an elephant hunting trip to Botswana, which made Spanish people angry. It was in 2014 that King Juan Carlos made a decision to step down from the throne and pass it down to Prince Felipe.

Felipe has two older sisters, but he became the head of a monarchy because at the time monarchy was passed through the male line. This law is now changed which makes King Felipe’s older daughter his heir apparent.

King Felipe enjoys enormous popularity in his homeland, but he was once ready to walk away from the monarchy for the sake of love.

King Felipe has had quite a childhood. He and his family traveled a lot and he learned plenty about other countries and cultures. He studied in Canada, at the Lakefield College School in Ontario, in 1984 and 1985. After he returned home, he had undergone three years of military training in Spain’s armed forces academy. Following this training, King Felipe earned a law degree in Madrid and later, a Master’s Degree in international relations from Georgetown University in Washington DC.
