The royal family has reappeared on the balcony of the Royal Palace ten years after the massive proclamation of Felipe VI. Don Felipe (56 years old) and Doña Letizia (51 years old), surrounded by their daughters Leonor (18 years old) and Sofía (17 years old) have taken a real mass bath before the hundreds of curious onlookers who cheered them from the Plaza de Oriente .
As protocol dictates, the first to leave was the King and after him, Doña Letizia, who stood on the left side of her husband, Leonor, on the right side, and Sofía next to her mother. Very happy, fathers and daughters greeted with energy all those who cheered them, while the changing of the Royal Guard began, but quickly The Queen has begun to show signs of discomfort and pain caused by the injury to her right foot.
“We have seen Queen Letizia uncomfortable, sitting at some point and leaning on herself,” RTVE highlighted. And so it has been. Doña Letizia has had to sit down at various times as can be seen in the image, at which time Don Felipe has become interested in his wife’s condition.
The Queen announced last April that she had suffered a domestic accident for which she would have to wear comfortable shoes from now on. A fracture of one of the phalanges of her right foot that has inevitably affected her daily routine.
What seemed like a minimal injury that would be resolved with rest and immobilization of the area, is beginning to generate a great concern about his state of health. Not only has he not recovered, but it seems that the pain is getting worse and has become unbearable.
Despite this health downturn, Mrs. Letizia has not altered her official agenda and has faced all her institutional commitments inside and outside our borders, no matter how intense they were. A gesture that reflects the Queen’s great commitment to the Crown.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Letizia presided over the traditional hand-kissing with her husband and daughters to welcome the dozen guests and although she had the stool right behind her, and she pretended to sit down, she did not use it at any time. Afterwards, they went to the room where the awards ceremony took place and she was the first to sit down, proof that she has been having a really bad time all morning.
Midi skirt and blouse with asymmetrical neckline: Queen Letizia recovers her best version
After several months in which Mrs. Letizia has made suits her work uniform, the occasion deserved a step further and she did not disappoint. Without heels, but with beautiful golden sandals, the Queen recovered the best version of herself with an elegant and flattering blue satin ensemble. A two-piece from the Spanish brand Masku consisting of a blouse with an asymmetrical neckline and a midi skirt. Both garments, made of natural silk, stand out for their fluidity, elegance and movement. Without a doubt, a very wise choice that is also inspiration for summer guest looks.
Regarding jewelry, Felipe VI’s wife has used striking XXL earrings. Two large Sibela crystal teardrops made of silver that feature carved sapphire and champagne colored stones. Of course, her Coreterno ring could not be missing.
The kings, this time without Leonor and Sofia, will reappear this Thursday at the opening of the exhibition ‘Philip VI: a decade in the history of the Crown of Spain’. Afterwards, with no time to lose, the King will take a plane to Germany to enjoy the Euro Cup match that will pit the Spanish National Team against Italy, a much more relaxed event to which it would not be surprising if Infanta Sofía accompanied him. .
The three qualities that King Felipe highlighted about Letizia in his last speech
After presenting the decorations, Don Felipe spoke in a speech in which he took stock of these 10 years on the throne and where his wife and daughters played a leading role. “In all this time I have had the great support of the Queen,” The king said, looking at his wife, who responded with a shy smile while lowering her gaze somewhat shyly. Text in which she has highlighted 3 of her qualities that, according to him, define her as Queen of her. “With will, dedication and sensitivity, “Her institutional activity has contributed enormously to giving visibility and attention to the needs of people, especially the most vulnerable,” he expressed, praising his wife’s work.
Then it was the turn of Leonor and Sofía, who also had their space in the King’s speech. Don Felipe feels a predilection for his daughters, and that becomes evident in each of the public appearances that they preside over together. “The Queen and I have had the growing support of our daughters and We want this to be a special anniversary for them too.together with the young people of their generation, have begun to live and understand with a necessary critical spirit and eagerness to learn the reality of our collective lives and the complex dynamics of the world,” he expressed. Words with which Leonor and Sofía were very grateful .
Leonor and Sofía skip protocol to surprise their parents
Before starting lunch, Leonor and Sofía got up to Don Felipe’s surprise. “Mom, dad, sorry for sneaking in, but we also have something to say today”said the Princess of Asturias with freshness to capture the attention of everyone present.
“Thank you for joining us to remember that in these ten years, we have learned from our parents the commitment that the four of us have with the Spanish people”, said Sofía, following the step of her older sister. “We would like you to join us in a toast to our mother and father, to our Kings, because since we were born they have taught us the value of the Crown, and its purpose of serving everyone,” Leonor concluded, highlighting the professionalism of their parents. “Mom, dad, thank you”Sofía said goodbye, provoking the emotion of Don Felipe, who responded to the surprise with a wink and a kiss to his daughters.
