The King and Queen Don Felipe and Doña Letizia pay their respects before the coffin of Isabel II
Data Felipe VI and Juan Carlos I: the keys to their 'entente cordiale' to mourn Elizabeth II together
King Juan Carlos has reappeared in Buckingham
four months after
his last public image.
The former Head of State has gone to Buckingham Palace to the reception that Carlos III has organized for the more than a thousand leaders who will attend the funeral for Elizabeth II next Monday.
It was a few minutes after half past six in the Spanish afternoon when Don Juan Carlos, accompanied by Doña Sofía, crossed the entrance door of the residence of the British sovereign.
The King Emeritus has arrived on a
bus along with other guests
.
Already at the door, he got out and walked with his carbon fiber
cane
in his right hand and
leaning
his left hand on an assistant.
Doña Sofía walked beside him.
Both were in rigorous mourning, although Felipe VI's mother's jacket had some sparkles of sequins.

The Kings Don Felipe and Doña Letizia pay their respects before the coffin of Isabel II
In the Buckingham hall Don Juan Carlos and Doña Sofía have met again with Don Felipe and Doña Letizia, whom the King Emeritus had not yet had the opportunity to see as he has traveled to London from Abu Dhabi by his own means.
The Kings entered Buckingham minutes after the Emeritus on
a different bus.
In addition, while the Kings stay at the Embassy of Spain to the United Kingdom, the Emeritus
spend the night in a hotel
that has not been made public.
It is unlikely that there will be
images of the meeting
between father and son, since what happens in the Buckingham room will be distributed by the press team of the British Royal Family and will focus, of course, on Carlos III.
Before the reception in Buckingham, Don Felipe and Doña Letizia paid tribute to Elizabeth II by visiting her burning chapel.
The King and Queen, accompanied by the Foreign Minister, his Chief of Protocol and the Spanish Ambassador to the United Kingdom, occupied
the platform for authorities
in Westminster Hall for several minutes.
After saying goodbye to the sovereign, they returned to the Embassy before going to the reception.
