Felipe VI’s visit to Estonia on June 23 was significant, as it coincided with a major public holiday in Estonia, similar to Christmas Eve in Spanish-speaking countries. Despite the timing, the President of Estonia received the King of Spain on this official visit. Estonia expressed gratitude to Spain for its contributions to the country’s security through NATO, especially given the historical context of threats from Russia.

In other news, there have been rumors and reports about Queen Letizia of Spain undergoing a secret surgery for a foot condition known as Morton’s neuroma, which causes chronic pain. Despite the Spanish royal household denying these claims, some media sources suggest that she underwent the procedure discreetly. The condition had previously forced Queen Letizia to wear high heels frequently, resulting in severe foot pain. The surgery reportedly involved the resection of the intermetatarsal ligament and the neuroma.

Princess Leonor, the heir to the Spanish throne, has been active in her official duties and private life. Recently, she was seen enjoying time with friends at a local festival, which was captured by the media despite attempts by her security team to maintain privacy. Her increasing public presence and involvement in various events reflect a strategic effort to connect with the younger generation and ensure the monarchy’s relevance.

The dynamic within the Spanish royal family, particularly between Queen Letizia and her mother-in-law, Queen Sofía, has also been a subject of public interest. Past tensions between them have been noted, contrasting with the more relaxed and approachable image that the current royal family is striving to project.

In conclusion, the Spanish royal family’s recent activities highlight both their official engagements and personal challenges, reflecting broader efforts to maintain their public image and connect with society.
