Early life[]
Birth and christening[]
Felipe de Marichalar y Borbón was born on 17 July 1998 at Ruber International Hospital in Madrid.[2]
He was baptized on Sunday 4 October 1998 day of the feast of San Francisco de Asis and on the eve of San Froilán, patron of Lugo, the mass was celebrated in the audience hall of the Zarzuela Palace. The ceremony was officiated by Archbishop of Madrid. His godparents were his maternal grandfather, Juan Carlos of Spain, and his paternal grandmother, Doña Concepción Sáez de Tejada y Fernández de Boadilla, Dowager Countess of Ripalda (1929–2014).[3]
Names[]
- Felipe: In honor of his maternal uncle, the king Felipe VI of Spain
- Juan: In honor of his maternal great-grandfather, Juan, Count of Barcelona
- Froilán: Froilán after the patron saint of Lugo
- de Todos los Santos: As it is customary among the Bourbons.[citation needed]
Although he is generally known by the press as Froilán, in the family he is called Pipe.
Education[]
Until the age of twelve he studied at the Colegio San Patricio in Madrid, but due to his bad grades although without repeating his parents decided that he should go to boarding school in England. Froilán took a course at a boarding school in West Sussex, to return the following year, in 2011, to Colegio Santa María del Pilar in Madrid, where he remained for three years. Two of these studied 2nd year of ESO, a course that he did repeat. At the beginning of summer 2014 he was admitted to the Sagrada Familia Episcopal College of Sigüenza, from which he graduated from ESO the following year, and in September 2015 he went to United States, to finish finally the High School in 2017 at the Blue Ridge School college, located in Saint George, Virginia at Greene County, Virginia and at the Culver Military Academy. The tuition, which for each course amounts to $45,000, was paid by his maternal grandfather the King Emeritus Juan Carlos I. He then began his Higher Education in Business Administration and Management at the College for International Studies in Madrid, a Spanish Higher Education institution associated with Endicott College.
Controversies[]
On 9 April 2012, Felipe accidentally shot himself in his right foot while he was on a farm of his father's family in Garray (Soria).[4] His father had to declare to the Civil Guard because Spanish law forbade the use of firearms by minors under the age of 14.[5] The judge dismissed the case against Don Jaime de Marichalar, considering it not gross negligence but a small misdemeanor.[5]
