Pilar Eyre, the uncomfortable chronicler of the Royal Family: “The Treasury inspects me every year for talking about the Bourbons”
The journalist and writer returns to bookstores with ‘Sucesión’, an intimate portrait of the Spanish monarchy in recent years. “Felipe and Letizia will have to retire early if they want Leonor to be queen,” she assures.
On Saturday, October 24th, the Royal Family concluded their Asturias visit in connection with the Princesa de Asturias Awards. The event took place in Llanes for the awarding of the 2026 Pueblo Ejemplar de Asturias distinction. This year, however, the award was not given to the municipality itself, but to an institution with centuries of history: the Cofradía de Pescadores de Santa Ana.
At around 12:30, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, accompanied by Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia - as has been the custom since 2019 - arrived in the Asturian town. They were met by bagpipers, dozens of onlookers, and local authorities, including the mayor, Minister Luis Planes, and the President of the Principality. Before embarking on their city tour, the royals paused briefly to greet and take selfies with the scores of neighbors eagerly awaiting them.
