Article 61 of the Spanish Constitution requires the [[Spanish monarchy|King]] to take the following oath as soon as practicable after ascending to the Throne and before performing any other official duty:

{{blockquote| I swear to faithfully execute my duties, obey and enforce the Constitution and the laws, to respect the rights of the citizens and of the Autonomous Communities.}}

The [[Heir apparent|heir]] to the Crown, upon becoming of age, and any Regents, upon taking office, are required by the Constitution to take the same oath, adding to it a vow of allegiance to the King.
