Current Spanish Royal Family
The Spanish monarchy is led by King Felipe VI, who ascended the throne in 2014 after the abdication of his father, Juan Carlos I. His family includes Queen Letizia and their daughters, Leonor, Princess of Asturias, and Infanta Sofía. Leonor is the heir presumptive to the Spanish throne.
Key Dynasties in the Kings of Spain Family Tree
The modern Spanish royal family belongs to the House of Bourbon, which has ruled Spain in various branches since the early 18th century. Earlier dynasties include the Habsburgs, who governed Spain for nearly two centuries before the Bourbon succession.
Line of Succession and Structure
The line of succession follows male-preference cognatic primogeniture, meaning the eldest child inherits regardless of gender. The Spanish Constitution defines the role of the monarchy, and the family tree reflects both historical unions and modern adjustments in inheritance rules.
