A 10 year wait
It has been 10 years and one day since Kings Felipe and Letizia assumed the throne, and they have finally decided to make the leap to Instagram. Although they are late to the party, since most European royal houses have been using this platform for a long time to share curious and close images with their citizens. The Spanish royal family has always been known for its modernity and trend-setting, and this time it has been no different.
A discreet debut
However, his debut on Instagram has not been as spectacular as expected. So far, they have only published two images, which are actually a summary of the photos they had already shared on their official Twitter account. Furthermore, the photos are not particularly striking or extraordinary. It seems that the kings have opted for a more conservative strategy in their arrival on this social network.
The perfect excuse
The excuse for his debut on Instagram has been the anniversary of King Felipe, who is celebrating 10 years of reign. All the published images correspond to the day of celebration, from the palace balcony to the changing of the guard. However, they have not shown all the shit that the animals left in the place. In the first publication, we find photos, and in the second, videos.
The message of the kings
In their first publication, the kings have shared a message in which they highlight service, commitment and duty as the pillars of their performance as monarchs. They renew their commitment to the defense of constitutional values and service to the Spanish people. They thank everyone for joining them on such a special day. In addition, they have shared a special composition by Ara Malikian, titled ‘Capriccio de Corazón para L&F 10’.
Few followed, many followers
Although the kings do not follow any account on Instagram, they already have more than 2,700 followers in just 50 minutes. The comments are mostly positive, without any negative criticism or mentions of the republic. This is suspicious, since on other social networks they often receive negative criticism and comments. We will be attentive to see what else the monarchs publish and if they manage to share more interesting content in the future.
