After the enthronement ceremony the new King and Queen hosted a reception for almost 3000 guests, he was invited to that reception.
Felipe's family (his aunts and uncle, his parents, his sister, his cousins, his nieces and nephews, Infante Carlos and his family, his in-laws...) didn't greet the royal couple in the public receiving line and they were in a private space.

: José's question was "Was he invited for
: Felipe's enthronement or for any of the
: princesses' christenings?"
:
: The answer (as shown by the photograph to
: which I linked) is YES, Louis was invited to
: Felipe's enthronement. José did not ask
: what room Louis was in.
:
: As for the polo games at Sotogrande in 2016
: and 2017: I am virtually certain that if
: Manuel or I had been present neither of us
: would have been INVITED to stand next to Don
: Juan Carlos or his grandson. Or is Manuel
: suggesting that Louis forced his way into
: this area uninvited in spite of Don Juan
: Carlos's security?
:
: There are a number of other SECOND cousins
: of Felipe and Louis who are descended from
: Don Alfonso XIII. These include the
: Marquesa de Casa Loring, the Conde de
: Villapaterna and his brothers, and the
: Duquesa de Sanlucar and her sisters. Can
: anybody show that these second cousins of
: Felipe, descended like Louis from Don
: Alfonso XIII, have been treated in a more
: familial way than Louis? (The Duke of
: Calabria is of course not descended from Don
: Alfonso XIII).

: Bad examples.
: In your first two examples, it was just a
: coincidence, not an invitation. King Juan
: Carlos presided over a polo trophy ceremony
: and LA and his family were present.
: At the proclamation, LA was just one among
: 3000 guests who were in line to greet the
: King. AFAIK, he was not at a room where all
: members the King's family were during that
: reception (some of us remember the picture
: of Froilan using his cell phone close to a
: window).
: As Jose says, I think the last time he was
: invited to a famlily event and sat with
: members of the King's family, was at
: Felipe's wedding. He entered the cathedral
: with his grandmother, the Duchess of Franco,
: but were seated in different areas inside
: the cathedral.

: I might be wrong but I would say the last
: family event LA was invited to was Felipe
: and Letizia wedding, where he escorted his
: grand-mother the late Dss of Franco.
:
: Was he invited for Felipe's enthronement or
: for any of the princesses' christenings ?
:
: August 2017
:
: September 2016
:
: June 19, 2014 (Proclamation at the Cortes)
:
: How often should second cousins see each
: other?
