Palma.—Members of the Spanish royal family, who were joined by King Juan Carlos yesterday afternoon, are enjoying their annual summer holiday on the island. Yesterday, while Crown Prince Felipe and Princess Christina took part in the first day's racing of the Copa del Rey sailing regatta, Queen Sofia and Princess Elena and some of the royal grand children put to sea in a motor launch to watch the regatta and also enjoy a family day out at sea.

This year the royals are having a slightly shorter summer holiday than usual and no high profile guests are expected to join them at Marivent Palace.
