Felipe

Felipe VI is the current King of Spain. He is newsworthy due to his recent visit to Vatican City with Queen Letizia. During this visit, King Felipe took possession as protocanon of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. This role is a historical connection between the Spanish monarchy and the Vatican. The visit and Felipe's assumption of the protocanon position are significant as they highlight the ongoing relationship between Spain and the Holy See. Queen Letizia's attire during the visit also garnered attention, as she wore white, a privilege typically reserved for Catholic queens during papal audiences.
