The beginning of stories and confidences
How many stories, of love, friendship, or whatever, have started at the bar of a bar. How many confidences, how many secrets, how many confessions have taken place over a drink, often with the bartender acting as a psychologist or a shoulder on which to cry and pour everything we feel. Sometimes, however, these moments take place between two strangers. And that is what has happened with none other than King Felipe as one of the protagonists, to the surprise of the other parishioner.
An unusual meeting
Normally it is difficult to meet face to face with the king, alone, calmly, without his entourage of clappers, bodyguards, members of security, protocol and the entire arsenal with which the monarch travels. We will hardly find the Bourbon alone and we will be able to share concerns or intense or frivolous conversations. That’s what it’s like to be the king of a country and that you’re hardly alone when you go to the bathroom to relieve yourself. But from time to time there are astral confluences that allow this. Felipe already left many Madrid citizens amazed when they saw him last Saturday, May 11, in the afternoon, in the heart of the city, near Fuencarral Street, shops, shopping with bags in hand, without Letizia, as if he were a citizen more willing to spend Saturday afternoon doing what many do.
A meeting that went viral on social networks
Now, the one who has been left with wide eyes is an American tiktoker who is still pinching himself now. The Huffington Post explains that @ permanentmarcus1 coincided with the Bourbon at an event and showed it in a video which he called The king and I are friends. He explains that he was in the United States, in his country, where this Marcus works as a photographer, and he was at an event that he doesn’t remember exactly what it was. Important people of all kinds, yes, and members of the government. A private event and it’s time to rest. He goes to the bar to drink something, without alcohol, and meets ‘a very nice man named Felipe’ with whom he began to talk about how he was doing and different topics. For example, about Spain, specifically… León. A five-minute conversation that ended up saying that if one day they saw each other in Spain, because the TikToker lives here, they would go for a drink.
The surprise when discovering the identity of the king
After the meeting, and what was his surprise when one day, having something with the family, Felipe appeared on TV and he exclaimed ‘hey, I know this guy’. Surprised, he wanted to know who the same affable guy was, according to him, with whom he had talked about León, and why he was so important as to appear on TV, at which point he was told that this Felipe was actually the king of León. Spain… By the way, Marcus’s final request, let’s see if the king keeps his promise and they meet. And by asking that he not stay, he hopes that she will invite him to have a drink at the Royal Palace, ‘for old times’ sake.’

Will Felipe keep his promise?
The story of this unexpected meeting between King Felipe and TikToker Marcus has caused a stir on social networks. Many wonder if the king will keep his promise to meet Marcus in Spain and share a drink together. Only time will tell if this meeting will become a reality, but without a doubt, it is an anecdote that shows that the most surprising moments can occur in the most unexpected places, even at the bar of a bar.
