Infanta Elena’s reaction to the confusion with Princess Leonor by Mario Vargas Llosa

Late this Thursday was held in the Wellington hotel in Madrid a bullfighting event attended by many famous faces. Among them the Infanta Elena and Mario Vargas Llosa. A meeting marked by a funny mistake on the part of the Nobel Prize. Sometimes nerves or just a trick can create a situation that we can label as perfect Earth swallows me up. This is what happened to Isabel Preysler’s partner at a specific moment of bullfighting in the capital.

Vargas Llosa received the Capote Award for the Arts 2022, the very same award that King Felipe VI’s sister received in 2019. One of the most anecdotal moments of the day was when the writer gave a word of thanks for this special recognition, which he picked up quite enthusiastically. Instead of thanking Infanta Elena, he did so by mentioning Princess Leonor – who is in Wales studying the second year of the International Baccalaureate. At that time the room where it was held the act was filled with laughter.

A small omission that remained an anecdote, as those present took it with a great sense of humor. Despite this detail, which did not go unnoticed, one of the great absentees from the event was Isabel Preysler, who in most cases tends to attend the events that are on their agenda with their partner.

Mario Vargas Llosa entered the room, dressed in a dark jacket and aided by a cane and with the company of the Infanta. Both posed at the photo call set up with the bullfighter Miguel Abellán, where they showed great complicity. The author of The City and the Dogs was always very excited and with a smile from ear to ear.

For the special occasion, the daughter of the Emeritus Kings opted for a trendy look. For the top, Doña Elena opted for a round-neck white lusa and paired it with a black jacket with lapel and gold-tone satin effect buttons. At the same time, it added to this style of straight lines with a gray mottled clock finish. She completed this stylish and elegant ensemble with black pointed toe pumps and a matching quilted briefcase. As for the hairstyle, Infanta Elena sported striking waves that she gathered into a simple updo revealing the gold earrings she had chosen as earrings.

Just a few months ago, specifically in September, the Infanta played Elena in an episode also related to her name. She was in an equestrian championship – one of her great passions – when she suddenly asked the media to “leave her alone”. At the time, her daughter had had emergency surgery for peritonitis and the reporter wanted to know how the young woman was doing. At the same time, he asked him about the kiss between Iñaki Urdangarin and Ainhoa ​​Armentia, which made both the front pages of the national press. By not responding and flaunting her great secrecy, the journalist said before she left: “Thank you very much, Elena.” Considering this, the infanta has replied: “Doña Elena, please, okay?” A situation that went viral within minutes of the video being broadcast. The Infanta Elena has always maintained a position of silence towards the press, avoiding making any kind of statement.
