Juan Carlos became King in late November 1975, but no title was conferred on Felipe as [[heir apparent]] until 1977, when he was created [[Prince of Asturias]], the traditional title normally held by the [[heir]] to the Spanish throne. The royal decree granting him this title also entitled him to use "the other historical titles corresponding to the heir of the Crown".<ref name="BOE-A-1977-1909">''[[Boletín Oficial del Estado]]'': [http://www.boe.es/aeboe/consultas/bases_datos/doc.php?id=BOE-A-1977-1909 no. 19, p. 1542] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120609113620/http://www.boe.es/aeboe/consultas/bases_datos/doc.php?id=BOE-A-1977-1909 |date=9 June 2012 }}, 22 January 1977. {{in lang|es}}</ref> Felipe started using the Aragonese title of [[Prince of Girona]] publicly on 21 April 1990, during a trip around Aragon, Catalonia and Valencia, becoming the first Bourbon to use this title.<ref>Badía, Juan Ferrano.

Upon ascending the throne, Felipe assumed the same titles held by his father. If the former Kingdoms of Aragon and Navarre had separate naming styles, he would also be known as Felipe V of Aragon and Felipe VIII of Navarre along with Felipe VI of Castile.<ref name="Regal names">{{cite web|url=http://www.lasexta.com/noticias/nacional/expertos-dan-seguro-que-nuevo-rey-llame-felipe-%E2%80%9Cseria-conveniente-nombre-aseptico-como-felipe-juan_2014060700045.html|title=Los expertos no dan por seguro que el nuevo rey se llame Felipe VI: "Sería conveniente un nombre aséptico como Felipe Juan I"|work=La Sexta|access-date=24 August 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140826115201/http://www.lasexta.com/noticias/nacional/expertos-dan-seguro-que-nuevo-rey-llame-felipe-%E2%80%9Cseria-conveniente-nombre-aseptico-como-felipe-juan_2014060700045.html|archive-date=26 August 2014}}</ref>

As heir to the Spanish throne, Felipe's arms were the Spanish coat of arms with a [[Label (heraldry)|label]] of three points [[azure (heraldry)|azure]] (blue).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.boe.es/buscar/doc.php?id=BOE-A-2001-5302|title=Boletín Oficial del Estado|pages=9936–9937|publisher=Boe.es|access-date=20 June 2018|archive-date=7 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171007021142/http://www.boe.es/buscar/doc.php?id=BOE-A-2001-5302|url-status=live}}</ref> The first quarter represents Castile, the second León, the third Aragon, and the fourth Navarre; below are the arms of Granada. In the centre, on an [[inescutcheon]], were the ancestral arms of the sovereign House of Bourbon-Anjou. Surrounding the shield was the collar of the [[Order of the Golden Fleece]] and surmounting it was the heraldic crown of the heir to the throne, decorated with four [[Half-arch (crown)|half-arches]].

Following his accession to the throne, the label on his arms was removed and the crown of the heir was changed to that of the monarch's (eight half-arches instead of four).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.boe.es/diario_boe/txt.php?id=BOE-A-2014-6525|title=Boletín Oficial del Estado|pages=48413–48418|publisher=Boe.es|access-date=20 June 2018|archive-date=18 October 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161018153807/https://www.boe.es/diario_boe/txt.php?id=BOE-A-2014-6525|url-status=live}}</ref> These arms differ from those of his father's as king, as they omit the [[Cross of Burgundy]], the yoke, and the sheaf of five arrows.
