Shortly after his birth Felipe was [[Style (form of address)|styled]] ''[[infante]]''. The dictator [[Francisco Franco]] died just over two months before Felipe's eighth birthday, and Felipe's father ascended the throne, as the latter had been appointed as [[Prince of Spain]] back in 1969. In his first official appearance, Felipe attended his father's proclamation as king on 22 November 1975.<ref name="casarealsignificantdates" />
