In the images, captured a few weeks ago by the official photographers of the Palace of the Zarzuelaresidence of the kings, the four pose in a relaxed manner and dressed informally in various places in the gardens, some with the palace façade in the background.
Philip VI, proclaimed king of Spain on June 19, 2014, and Queen Letizia wanted to share the spotlight of these two decades of marriage with their daughters: Eleanor, the heir to the throne, and Infanta Sofía, who appear in almost all the photos, and in two of them without their parents.
Only in one photograph is the couple seen alone, with the king putting his arm around his wife in a show of affection.
Faced with a symbolic date such as twenty years of marriage, the photographic album seeks to convey the union and complicity that exists between the four, since the common denominator is that they are seen smiling, hugging or holding hands.
Queen Letizia wears sports shoes and an outfit similar to what she wore at an event at the Royal Theater of Madrid on the 6th, when it was reported that he had suffered a broken phalanx of a toe on his right foot, which would force him to wear flat, comfortable shoes for a month and a half.
However, the royal house has not specified the exact date on which the photo session took place.
For the album, we took advantage of the presence in Madrid of Leonor, Princess of Asturias, who is in the last stage of her first year of military training, at the General Military Academy of Zaragoza, and her sister, also in her last weeks of first year of baccalaureate at a boarding school in Wales (United Kingdom).
It is the first time that the kings of Spain and their daughters have posed in the historic Moro gardens, located on the grounds of the Royal Palacein the historic center of Madrid.
