Royal House makes a huge decision about King Felipe: No one will ever forget something like this

The Royal Household has taken an important step by allowing King Felipe VI to lead a master class on one of the most iconic works at the Prado Museum. What seemed like a spontaneous and natural gesture on social media was actually a planned and agreed-upon action by the Royal Household. The condition imposed by Zarzuela was that the video wouldn't be broadcast live, but rather recorded with a high level of professionalism.

Felipe VI personally selected the work to be discussed in the video. Velázquez's Las Meninas is an essential symbol of Spanish history and culture. The choice combined artistic and institutional values, reflecting the monarchy's historical presence in art.

The Prado Museum promoted this project to celebrate an important milestone on their Instagram account. Since the account started in 2017, they've accumulated more than 87 million views, consolidating their digital influence. For this reason, they considered that for video number 1,000, they should prepare something special.

Felipe VI and the Royal Household: A Turning Point in Institutional Communication

After an informal proposal, the idea reached Zarzuela and several meetings were held to finalize the details. The Royal Household gave their approval, requiring the content to be recorded professionally and to be brief in duration. They sought to balance approachability and solemnity.

The result was a video in which Felipe VI spoke very naturally, without formalities or protocols. Only him, the art, and a camera, in a format that successfully reached a young and diverse audience. The response on social media has been very positive.

In just a few hours, the video received more than 40,000 "likes" and thousands of favorable comments. In a digital environment where criticism is common, the reaction was almost unanimous in praising the initiative. This shows that the Royal Household has managed to adapt to new forms of communication.

The Royal Household Takes a Firm Step Toward the Future With Felipe VI and in Collaboration With the Prado Museum

The Prado Museum and Zarzuela have assessed the impact of the collaboration very positively. Both institutions indicated that they don't rule out repeating this approach in future projects. Institutional communication is changing and the monarchy has taken an important step.

This way, no one will forget this master class by King Felipe VI on Las Meninas. It represented a bridge between history, art, and contemporary digital society. A gesture that marked a turning point in the monarchy's public image.
