What does the heir to the Spanish throne do for a living?

[The Prince of Wales]

[Antonio Jr. R]

Families do not work for a living, the State gives them all they need, young mman !

[Clara]

Defraud the government or perhaps I have the wrong Spanish royal

[Bilbo]

As heir apparent he has no need to earn a living. He spends his time doing various charitable and cultural activities - and was a member of Spain's Olympic sailing team.

[Peter Taylor]

The same job than any heir/ess does: prepares to be head of state someday and undertakes official duties such as state visits, domestically and abroad.

[wisecrack]

He is well provided for as an heir, he has his own sources of income like any prince. He doesn't work but prepares and trains to be a king some day.

[Velazquez 63]

I think he plays for real Madrid, up front. in his spare time he grows paella.

[MO]

I think he's a banker.

n addition to his official activities, Felipe is Honorary President of several associations and foundations, such as the Imperial Munitions Board, which finances specific economic and social development activities in Ibero-America and other countries, and the Spanish branch of the Association of European Journalists, which is composed of outstanding communications professionals. Most noteworthy is the Príncipe de Asturias Foundation, where he presides annually the awards ceremony of the highly prestigious Prince of Asturias Awards, at the international level, that carry his name.

Within the framework of these institutions which work towards aims of general interest, Felipe focuses his interest on activities in the fields of development projects, voluntary work, the environment, universities, the integration of young people in the workplace and business, relations between business circles and society and social communication.

On the occasion of the United Nations declaration of 2001 as the International Year of Volunteers, the UN Secretary General, Kofi Annan, named Felipe an "Eminent Person" so that he could contribute on an international level towards enhancing the importance of voluntary workers.

After completing his academic studies in the United States, Prince Felipe has fulfilled the institutional commitments deriving from his status as Crown Prince, both in Spain and abroad, and he participates in the most important events of the different sectors and areas of Spanish public life.
In 1990, he began to make a series of official visits to Spain's Autonomous Communities, in order to gain more profound knowledge of Spain and become closer to all Spaniards.
He holds regular meetings with the Constitutional bodies and with the main institutions of Spain's Central Administration and Autonomous Communities, to learn about their activities.
He grants public and private audiences to a large number of people from the political, economic and cultural spheres, and from the media, in order to be informed of national and international affairs. ​​

His Royal Highness is in close contact with the Armed Forces and with the Civil Guard, following a programme of activities that includes giving commissions at the Academies for Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers, attending exercises and manoeuvres, visiting units, centres and institutions, and, since 2010, attending military audiences.
In addition to keeping in touch with his classmates at the Military Academies, Prince Felipe is informed about current military affairs through private audiences with senior Military and Civil Guard Officers, and through working meetings.
The Prince of Asturias carries out many activities abroad, playing a very active role in promoting Spain's economic and commercial interests. He is also especially interested in promoting knowledge of Spanish language and culture, through support for the network of Instituto Cervantes centres and the creation of Chairs to spread knowledge of the history and current reality of Spain at the principal foreign universities.
To this end, he makes official visits every year, accompanied by the Princess of Asturias, to an Ibero-American country and to another country in the European Union, the Middle East or the Far East in which Spain has strategic interests.
Since January 1996, the Prince of Asturias has represented Spain at the swearing-in ceremonies of the Ibero-American Presidents.
