Overview

• King Felipe VI conferred the title on June 20, 2025, marking the 11th anniversary of his proclamation as monarch.
• The honour recognises Nadal’s 22 Grand Slam titles and his enduring impact on Spanish sport.
• Upon Nadal’s ennoblement, his wife Mery Perelló automatically becomes Marchesa Consorte di Llevant de Mallorca.
• Modern Spanish noble titles are purely symbolic and confer no legal status, political rights or financial obligations.
• In the same ceremony, six figures from sport, science and culture received noble ranks and the king retains power to revoke honours for constitutional violations.
