These intimate images captured the essence of their family bond as they prepared to commemorate their two decades of marriage. Their wedding, held on a rainy May 22, 2004, at Madrid's Almudena Cathedral, was a grand affair attended by dignitaries and royalty from across the globe, signifying the union of Felipe, then 36, and Letizia Ortiz, a 31-year-old divorced journalist, as Spain's reigning monarchs. Taking the throne in 2014 following his father Juan Carlos's abdication amidst scandals, Felipe and Letizia faced the daunting task of restoring the monarchy's tarnished image.
With a commitment to transparency and accountability, Felipe initiated reforms within the royal household, including an audit of its finances and the implementation of a code of conduct for its members. Letizia, Spain's first commoner queen, brought a refreshing dynamic to the monarchy with her relatable background and dedication to public engagement. Despite initial skepticism, their union has proven to be a transformative force, earning praise for their efforts to modernize and connect with the Spanish people.
As their eldest daughter Leonor comes of age, the spotlight increasingly shifts towards her, symbolizing the evolving face of Spain's future monarchy. Amidst celebrations, the royal family continues to navigate challenges and opportunities, striving to uphold the legacy of the Spanish crown for generations to come.
