Almost 20 days have passed since Spain was plunged into complete shock by a deadly cold drop that rocked the Valencian community. Kings, since then, have had their primary objective of supporting and serving those affected by a calamity that not only occupied much of their institutional agenda, but also caused them deep pain and sorrow.
In this context and without losing sight of everything that is happening in the regions most punished by DANA, Felipe VI and Mrs. Letizia have gradually resumed their other official commitments, as was the case this week when they attended various events respectively scheduled. Something similar happens on a personal level in advance, slowly making their personal plans again to clear their heads and have time for themselves outside of Zarzuela.
This Saturday afternoon, as we learned and told you for the first time, the king and his wife went to the Manoteras cinema in Madrid to watch the film. Gladiator II. It is a complex of theaters located on the avenue of the same name in the Hartaleza district, northeast of the capital, where the head of state and his wife usually go when their interests premiere on the big screen.
They went to the afternoon session together at eight o’clock, in the form of the original subtitled version, undoubtedly one of the most fashionable films enjoyed. Directed by Ridley Scott, it is a sequel almost 25 years after the 2000 blockbuster film in which he starred and earned Russell Crowe an Oscar. This time, in continuation of that story set during the Roman Empire, its star cast is made up of names like Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal and Paul Mescal.
This Hollywood blockbuster created a buzz among the audience as the kings appeared as expected, willing to watch like no other. They were seen very calm, normal and discreet, waiting in line like the rest before entering, a living witness of the moment tells us.
In this sense, the patience with which the two were waiting in line caught the attention of many who were there. Even the clerk in charge of checking tickets at the door of the room was shocked at the situation he was in when he saw Philip VI and Dona Letizia right in front of him.
Once inside, they take their seats and enjoy this action-packed period film lasting about two and a half hours. Later, shortly before the end of the feature film or just as it is about to end, the kings have a habit of leaving the room before the others. They always do it with their security team, just like this time.
For the occasion, the two dressed casually, the Queen in a bottle green coat and pants and the King in a brown leather jacket. As we mentioned earlier, these movies are for the taste of both them and their daughters, as we saw a few years ago when they went to see the ninth part of the story. Star Wars Together with Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia in December 2019. Also, it should be noted that Dona Letizia is a great lover of the seventh art and whenever she can she makes room for it in her plans with her family.
