King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain continued a cherished summer tradition this past Saturday, stepping out for a relaxed family dinner in the scenic neighborhood of Portixol in Palma. Joined by Princess Leonor, Infanta Sofía, Queen Sofía, and long-time family friend Jean Henri Fruchaud, the royals gathered at restaurant Mía, a favorite local spot run by chef Guillermo Cabot.
The evening held special significance for the family following recent losses. Fruchaud, widower of the late Princess Tatiana Radziwill, joined the gathering alongside Queen Sofía, who was unable to attend the outing last summer.
An Evening in Portixol
Queen Letizia, her daughters, Queen Sofía, and Fruchaud arrived first at the restaurant, surprising fellow diners as they waited inside for the King. King Felipe joined the group shortly after wrapping up his official duties for the day, which included presiding over the 44th Copa del Rey Mapfre award ceremony at Almudaina Palace. The monarch arrived dressed casually in a polo shirt and white trousers following his team's second-place finish in the regatta.
Summer Style Highlights
The royal family showcased effortless summer fashion during the outing:
- Queen Letizia: Wore a breezy, full-length white summer dress.
- Princess Leonor: Debuted a long, backless dress by the Spanish label Babbaki, paired with a vibrant fuchsia clutch.
- Infanta Sofía: Re-wore a printed Desigual dress previously worn by both her mother and sister.
- Queen Sofía: Chose a classic ensemble featuring trousers and a long-sleeved patterned blouse.
Wrapping Up the Royal Tour
The dinner marked an informal conclusion to the Royal Family's official summer itinerary in Mallorca, which included formal receptions at Marivent Palace, official diplomatic meetings, and international travel. As the family departed past midnight, King Felipe was spotted sharing a warm moment supporting his mother to her car, capping off a quiet family evening before wrapping up their stay on the island.
