An unexpected fact about Princess Leonor has been discovered thanks to an expert who analyzed the heir to the throne during her latest appearance. Queen Letizia's eldest daughter gave a brief statement at the Euro Cup final, witnessed by half of Spain.
It was a brief intervention, but enough for Princess Leonor to show everyone a genuine gesture. This was something unexpected even for Queen Letizia, who has been preparing Leonor to take on greater visibility.
Princess Leonor is exposed to Queen Letizia's surprise
There are few occasions when Princess Leonor usually gives simple statements to the media. Therefore, when the opportunity arises, as it did at the Euro Cup final, Queen Letizia's daughter generates great expectation. Every word, every gesture, and every look is analyzed with precision to try to discern something about her personality beyond protocol.
This is precisely what an expert has done after watching Princess Leonor's latest appearance on TVE. Cristian Salomoni, an expert in nonverbal communication consulted by Vanitatis, has discovered something about the heiress that Letizia did not expect: she is very spontaneous. Leonor once again proved that she is increasingly comfortable at public events and willing to participate.
According to Salomoni, this time her attitude went beyond a simple display of friendliness or approachability. The heir to the throne has not only gained confidence in front of the cameras. She also projects a much more spontaneous and natural image than her mother, Queen Letizia.
Every gesture of the young princess conveys authenticity. There are no signs of tension or rehearsed attitudes in her behavior during the final. "When she speaks, she accompanies her speech with gestures and a slightly open palm, without rigidity, which conveys a lot of openness," Salomoni explains.
The expert highlights her relaxed smile, her steady gaze, and a comfortable body posture that suggests confidence. He even states that she shows leadership and doesn't depend on the support of her sister Sofía, who was next to her. Princess Leonor speaks up without fear and professionally gives the floor to the Infanta, then takes her turn again to say goodbye.
Princess Leonor moves away from Queen Letizia's rigidity
In contrast to Princess Leonor, Salomoni highlights Queen Letizia's image. Compared to the heiress, the queen keeps a more restrained and perfectionist image. Letizia pays attention to every gesture in detail; everything seems calculated, from her posture to the tone of her voice, and there is no room for improvisation.
In the princess's case, the opposite is true: Leonor has the naturalness and body language of a young woman her age. However, he adds, "there is some training." Therefore, Queen Letizia's guidelines, although not visible, have indeed influenced the princess.
This can be seen, for example, in her gestures. There are moments when Leonor "shows preparation at the protocol level." "She is internalizing a monarchical institutional communication style, visually sober but effective," he explains.
What is striking is that the princess brings a modern touch to that gestural protocol, making it seem less rigid. It is a way to connect with young people and feel part of a society that is evolving every day.
Queen Letizia is also aware of this and, for some time now, has been trying to add more naturalness to her appearances. However, her institutional burden is much greater than Leonor's, and she can't take the same liberties. Even so, both work together to modernize and bring the monarchy closer to the public.
