Queen Letizia and daughters cover King Felipe in kisses as they kick off Mallorca vacation
Fresh from attending summer camp in the US, Spanish Princesses Leonor and Sofia returned home just in time to join their parents King Felipe and Queen Letizia on the Spanish island of Mallorca for their summer vacation. There was much excitement as the photogenic royal family began their break by dropping into the Real Club Náutico in the Island’s capital Palma to pay a visit aboard the sailing ship Aifos, which the Spanish King will helm in the Copa del Rey sailing championship. The VIP visitors looked happy and relaxed as they mingled with Felipe’s fellow crewsmen aboard the vessel, and there were several sweet family moments when Letizia and her daughters covered Papa in kisses and hugs to wish him good luck in the regatta, which kicked off on Thursday. The family are clearly overjoyed to reunite after the girls' time in the States during July – a few months after Sofía celebrated her 12th birthday.
Letizia chose a summer-perfect white number by Spanish designer Adolfo Dominguez which showed off her bronzed tan. The 46-year-old former journalist combined the buttoned dress with a pair of rope-heeled wedges.
Felipe will be on hand to present the trophies to the winners of the regatta during a ceremony on Saturday.
Last year - after three years away from the Copa del Rey - the royal family were back together on the dock for the final day of the competition. This is the first time they've attended the opening day of the regatta together, however.
Leonor, 14, who will one day be Queen of Spain, looked pretty in a blue striped top and white shorts during the family outing.
Meanwhile Sofia, 12, wore a cute white top with lace detailing and a pair of striped shorts.
Felipe and his crew are hoping for success in the competition - the 38th edition of the Copa de Rey, or King's Cup.
