Telecinco is preparing a new documentary that revisits the life of one of Spain’s most internationally recognized figures. After a December announcement, the project titled Julio Iglesias: life remains the same has begun to take shape under the Mediaset network. This program marks the launch of a fresh special section dedicated to revisiting key moments in contemporary Spanish history, as reported by the media outlet YOTELE.
A central focus of the production will be a detailed portrait of the monarchs who have shaped recent Spanish history. The documentary plans to explore the reign of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia Ortiz, timed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of their wedding on May 22, 2024. The filmmakers intend to include archival images, personal recollections, and interviews with individuals who have known the couple across different stages of their lives, complemented by expert commentary from within the Royal Household and trusted commentators on royal life.

The program is expected to trace the personal and public arcs of Felipe and Letizia, from the moment their paths crossed to the moment they exchanged vows at the Almudena Cathedral in Madrid. Viewers will follow their shared journey as they built a family and welcomed two daughters, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia, who later became central figures in the line of succession after the abdication of King Juan Carlos I. The documentary aims to present both the personal dynamics and official responsibilities that have defined their decades together, offering a nuanced look at how private lives intersect with public roles.

According to information available to this portal, the feature on King Felipe and Queen Letizia for Telecinco is being produced by El Rugido, a newly established audiovisual unit related to the digital newspaper El Español. The project is directed by Miguel Toral, a veteran professional in documentary and royal profiles, with collaboration from familiar production outfits in the sector. The involvement of contributors from established outlets such as El Mundo TV is noted in early production notes.

If the production milestones hold steady, the documentary could be ready to debut within the next year, aligning with the enduring public interest in the pair’s two-decade partnership. Telecinco plans to air the program during prime time, aiming to reach a broad national audience across Spain and the broader Spanish-speaking community in North America. The network has also left open the possibility of staging on-set discussions with contributors to broaden the program’s analytical dimension and encourage audience participation in post-broadcast conversations.
