Summary

On October 12, 2026, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia visited the Spanish exclave of Ceuta to address the ongoing tensions following a significant migrant influx from Morocco that began in July. This visit, the first by Spanish royals to the territory since 2007, occurred against a backdrop of diplomatic strain with Morocco and internal social divisions within the city. During their stay, the royals met with local authorities, visited a school, and participated in an interfaith ceremony at a cemetery to honor migrants who died while attempting to reach the exclave.
