"The Kings on vacation in Jaca with their daughters"
I read some articles calling it an annual break and some mention its the weekend, is it a long weekend break or is there a winter holiday?
Lovely to see the family hit the slopes. They look very confident skiers.
Is this the first time the girls have tried skiing? I know that Elena has taken her children skiing for years now.
Its normally suggested that the family take a ski weekend to a resort outside of Spain thus avoiding press attention - there was one year they did get some pap shots of the girls learning.
This is a nice treat to see them as a family photographed openly in a Spanish resort. I know it is often reported that Letizia is not a fan of skiing but i am glad to see her taking part once again - i recall the last time she was photographed on the slopes like this was during their engagement
Spain isn’t an easy country of which to be king. While it has had monarchs for most of its history, the present monarchy was activated only in 1975, after the death of Francisco Franco, who ruled unchallenged for 39 years. Felipe came to the throne in June 2014, when his father, Juan Carlos I, abdicated in the face of increasingly inconvenient controversies in the royal household. A potent strain of republicanism runs through Spain, and the country has been riven by every conceivable political problem: corruption, parliamentary instability, economic downturns, mass youth unemployment and corrosive Catalan separatism. After the November 2015 elections, Spain was without a government for almost a year, and Felipe was in the spotlight, deciding who should try to form a government. He steered the process with aplomb, and to general acclaim. It helps that he’s seen as a monarch “in touch” with his subjects — he’s college-educated (unlike any previous Spanish monarch) and married to a divorced commoner who once worked as a TV anchor. In a time of European turmoil, Felipe is Spain’s greatest political asset. (Imagine how much more sane Italy would be if it had a king like him!)
