LONDON — Buckingham Palace says the state visit by the king and queen of Spain will be postponed because of Britain’s June 8 general election.
The visit will now take place from July 12-14.
King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain were to visit London and stay at Buckingham Palace with Queen Elizabeth II from June 6-8.
But the palace said Friday that the British monarch and King Felipe have agreed that it should be postponed “in light of the General Election.”
