Nerves are playing tricks on Leonor and her father demands her attention

Doña Leonor has become the involuntary protagonist of a minor misstep that took place during the ceremony of the Princess of Asturias award ceremony, which was held yesterday at the Campoamor Theater in Oviedo. The heiress to the throne presided over the awards and, after delivering an emotional speech that brought her maternal grandmother to tears, the royal received a warm round of applause from those in attendance as she left the lectern to take a seat. The young woman joined in the applause addressed to her and it was King Felipe VI who pointed out: “don’t cheer for yourself”while you smile. Leonor blurted out a discreet “excuse me” and joined her father’s laughter, slightly embarrassed by the slip caused by nerves.

A beautiful moment that came just after the tears of emotion of Paloma Rocasolano, the mother-in-law of King Felipe, who could not contain herself as she listened to the words of her granddaughter. “I am very happy to return to Asturias for another year to present these Awards,” the heir to the throne began her emotional speech. “In a few days I will be 17 years old. And I assure you that discovering the work of our winners helps me better understand the world around us. Their work forces me, basically everyone else, to keep learning,” explains the princess, who will celebrate her last birthday as a minor next Monday.

One of the most criticized parts of his speech was in which he referred to the younger generation in Spain. “Young people are aware that the current situation is not easy, that the world has changed and continues to change and that the best way to move forward is to maintain the enthusiasm to learn, to equip ourselves with responsibility and effort, to learn from those who know, from those who do their thing impeccably do, until often silent. That is why, on days like today, listening to, admiring and recognizing the excellence of our winners makes us feel that things can always change for the better,” explained the heiress to the throne, touching her grandmother.

Three years ago, the same thing happened to his grandmother Sofia. Princess Leonor thanked her paternal grandmother for being there on such a special day for her: “She knows how important her presence at this ceremony is to me.” This year has been very different since social networks were set on fire for the treatment Queen Sofía received at the Princess of Asturias Awards in 2022. Doña Sofía was the protagonist of an awkward moment in the lobby of the Campoamor Theater when Queen Leitizia and her two daughters began to talk while the emeritus was somewhat ‘hanged’. Finally, Doña Sofia decides to go to the stairs to get to her box.

It seems that the relationship between the grandmother and her granddaughter is not going to be as good as it should be. Many media point out that since the famous blow that the emeritus of Doña Leonor received in Mallorca, the connection between them has been completely severed. Evidently, Queen Sofia would try her granddaughter Leonor. to approach without any success, something that would have been achieved to a greater extent with the youngest daughter of the King and Queen of Spain. Will Doña Letizia be responsible for the bad relationship between Doña Sofia and her two granddaughters?

Leonor, Letizia and Felipe have continued their agenda in Asturias and are in Cadavedo, which has been awarded as the Exemplary City of 2022. The infanta Sofia is resting in Hotel Reconquista, because her mother has explained that “she has not slept in all” because she has been unwell since last night. The family has stopped to chat with the inhabitants of this town, who enthusiastically showed them their regional costumes. Letizia and Leonor got a nice gift from a girl, who delivered a nice drawing of the royal family with all his enthusiasm. Mother and daughter melted into a tender embrace with the little girl, who was visibly nervous at the presence of the royal family.
