According to ACI Digital:
On the 19th of June…Felipe will take the throne of Spain as King VI in a ceremony with no religious references…although the Spanish Bishops’ Conference has qualified this fact as “normal” in a nonconfessional State…
About the absence of religious symbols, such as the coronation Mass of Juan Carlos I, the spokesman of the Bishops’ Conference explained that “Spain of the twenty-first century is different from that of the time of the coronation of King Juan Carlos, when the state was confessional and the Constitution had not yet been approved.”
