You beat me to it. It will have some Heraldic implements I guess. HRH Infante Felipe losing the Principe de Asturias lable to his arms.


Personal arms of HM King Juan Carlos.


Arms of the HRH Infante Felipe as Principe de Asturias (Prince of Asturias).

Not forgeting their wives:


HM Queen Sofia, with the Collar of the Order of Carlos III.


Arms of Letizia (Ortiz), Princesa de Asturias.

The succession of Felipe to the throne will mean that their eldest child HRH Infanta Leonor will probably recieve the title Princesa de Asturias as she is set to succed her father in due time.

Infanta Leonor will be heir presumptive. If Rey Felipe has a son, which is not beyond the realms of possibility, then the son will, as the law currently stands, become heir apparent.

Well He could of cause still father a son. But time is working against it.

While they have yet to enact it as law it has already been discussed and decided that absolute primogeniture will likely apply to the children of Felipe. So, the possible birth of a son likely won't make a difference. Since a law has to be passed to deal with the current situation and Felipe will soon succeed as Felipe VI I would bet the Cortes will now take up the question of succession and settle it in law.
