Political leaders and royals from around the world showed up to celebrate the reopening ceremony of Notre Dame cathedral in Paris on Saturday, Dec. 7 after its devastating 2019 fire. Everyone from Jill Biden to Prince William—who met with president elect Donald Trump after the event—was there, but King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain have caused a bit of a political scandal after no one from the country showed up.
According to Spanish media outlet La Vanguardia, politician Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who serves as president of the country's People's Party, said it was "a real shame for our country" that no representative of Spain attended the cathedral's reopening ceremony.
