Furious residents chanting “murderers” pelted them with mud and projectiles as they struggled to wade through the crowds, while Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez was hastily evacuated. The king wrote a message in Chiva town hall expressing the couple’s “great affection, love and all our support and solidarity”.
The royals also travelled to the hard-hit town of Letur in the neighbouring Castilla-La Mancha region for more meetings with locals, rescuers and officials. Their willingness to travel and risk personal harm earlier this month “strengthens the image” of the monarchy, said Vicente Garrido, professor of constitutional law at the University of Valencia.
