Felipe VI of Spain

The crown must constantly earn citizens' appreciation, respect and trust. ”

We have a great country, we are a great nation - let us trust in it. ”

I want to reaffirm, as king, my faith in the unity of Spain. ”

I embody the renewed monarchy for a new time. ”

The men and women of my generation are heirs to that great collective success which has been admired worldwide and of which we are so proud. It is now up to us to pass it on to the coming generations. ”

There must not be favoured treatment for those occupying a position of public responsibility. ”

I begin my reign with profound emotion at the honour of accepting the Crown, aware of the responsibility it entails and with the greatest hope for the future of Spain. ”
