Dynamics of change in the management of the Royal Household and the development of the King’s functions

Keywords: Transparency, Royal Household, Spanish Constitution, Consultations, Endorsement

Abstract

Law 19/2013 subjects the Royal Household to the obligations of transparency, without its provisions having been considered unconstitutional. Since then, the strategic communication of the Royal House is more proactive now and tries to show an image of transparency and correct management. Concepts such as “honesty, economic transparency, closeness and modernization” are key in this new stage. However, communicating is not the same as informing and herein lies one of the aspects analysed in this work, taking as reference the aforementioned Law of Transparency, Access to Public Information and Good Government, and the work carried out through the website of the Royal House. Furthermore, it is suggested that it can be clamped with the endorsement as a tool to guarantee the Monarch’s conduct in those areas for which it is necessary. Finally, it concludes with an assessment of what has been done and what is pending since it is the path of Transparency that seems most appropriate to face future improvement scenarios.
