The Kings also traveled by car from Zarzuela to Pardo. The King was driving a car in which his daughters, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía were traveling in the back seat without being able to capture his image due to the tinted windows. What was clearly seen was the brilliance of the two diamond bracelets, worn by Queen Victoria Eugenia and once worn by Queen Sofia, which Queen Letizia wore on her left wrist, as well as the chaton earrings that also form part of the royal jeweler.
The plane in which King Juan Carlos arrived this morning, from Geneva, is scheduled to take off this midnight for London's Luton airport.
