Zarzuela had been warning for weeks: this year there would be

many surprises

in Palma.

And one of them has already transpired.

The cocktail in which the Royal Family traditionally receives Majorcan civil society changes location in a new gesture by Felipe VI.

For the first time, the meeting with the most important personalities of the Balearic Islands

moves

from La Almudaina to the

Marivent

Palace , the private residence of the Royal Family in Palma.

This is the first time that the mansion

opens its doors

to an institutional act beyond the summer inn.

Felipe VI breaks the tradition of the Royal Family attending the Easter mass in Palma

The information, advanced by

El Diario de Mallorca

with an invitation that confirms the news, shows signs of a new change introduced by Felipe VI, who opens his summer home to society.

This gesture also confirms how the Kings conceive the days they spend on the island as a time of work and helps

avoid criticism

from those sectors that do not understand why there is a mansion available for the Royal Family.

However, the use of Marivent was also regulated with the new reign.

It was in 2017 when President Armengol

opened the gardens to tourists.

Then it was announced that they would only remain closed to the public during Easter and from July 15 to September 15 for security reasons, since Doña Sofía is always installed in Marivent on those dates.

In fact, Queen Sofía has been on the island for a week, where she has arrived to receive the rest of the family.

These days she is accompanied by the Infanta Elena and the Infanta Cristina.

She also four grandchildren:

Felipe

and

Victoria

Marichalar and Pablo and Miguel Urdangarin.

Felipe VI will arrive this Thursday afternoon, and on Friday the 29th he receives the main authorities of the island.

It is unknown if there is any planned departure for Queen Sofía with her three children, on Doña Cristina's return to Palma in nine years.

She would be

the first image

of Felipe VI with his sister after the divorce.

On the 31st, Queen Letizia will preside over the closing ceremony of the Atlántida Film Festival, with the assistance of the French actress Isabelle Hupert.

In addition, on the 2nd the King

will maintain the office

with Pedro Sánchez and on the 6th he

will deliver

the Copa del Rey Mapfre de Vela trophies, which celebrates its 40th anniversary.
