The Spanish royal family made a grand appearance on Wednesday to commemorate the 10th anniversary of King Felipe VI’s proclamation.
The celebrations include the monarch attending a medal ceremony in Madrid, followed by a lunch at the Zarzuela Palace.
He was accompanied by his wife, Queen Letizia, 51, and their two daughters, Princess Leonor, 18, and Infanta Sofia, 17.

Princess Leonor said: “Mamá, papá, majestades”, before her younger sister Sofia continued: “Sorry to interrupt, but we also have something to say today. Thank you for joining us in remembering that in these ten years, we have learnt from our parents what the commitment that the four of us have with all Spaniards means.”
Leonor continued: “Now I would like you to join us in a toast to our mother and father, to our Kings. Because since we were born, we have been taught the value of this institution, of the Crown, its usefulness to our society and its purpose of serving everyone.”
