THE SPANISH ROYAL FAMILY

Spain is a Parlimentary System with a Constitutional Monarchy. This is similar to the system in Great Britain. The King is the head of the state and as such, represents Spain internationally.

The Spanish Constitution limits the authority of the King (and all future Monarchs) to mostly ceremonial powers.

King Juan Carlos I is the current ruler of Spain. He particularly enjoys skiing and sailing.

Queen Sofía was born in Athens. In addition to her royal duties the Queen spends a lot of time in social and charity activities.

Prince Felipe is the 3rd child of King Juan Carlos and Queen Sophía. His royal title is Prince of Asturias. Like his father he spent time at the military academies of the Army, Navy and Air Force. Also like his father he became a military pilot. The Prince has many relatives. You might be one of his relatives.

On May 22, 2004, the Prince married, Letizia Ortiz who used to be a former newscaster. She is not of royal blood, but upon marrying the Prince became the Princess of Asturias.
