King Felipe and Queen Letizia have plenty of reasons to feel proud of their daughter Leonor. Her involvement in her military training reaffirms the heiress's commitment to the institution and her future role as queen. The king and queen don't wish to hide how much they admire Leonor, and Letizia expressed this at her latest public event.
When asked whether the pride the king and queen feel for their eldest daughter is infinite, Letizia replied affirmatively. "It is, it is," she said without any hesitation in front of the attendees, who didn't hesitate to applaud her sincerity.
Queen Letizia and King Felipe confirm how proud they are of Leonor
If there's something that characterizes Queen Letizia and King Felipe, it's their ability to empathize with people. On more than one occasion, we've seen them close to the public acting as equals. However, they feel most comfortable in their role as parents.
King Felipe and Queen Letizia have no shortage of reasons to feel proud of their daughters. Especially Leonor, who is currently undergoing her military training. The queen was asked about the heiress at her latest public event, where Letizia didn't hide how much she admires her eldest daughter.
This happened during an event held this week at Santander Bank. There, journalist Ángel Expósito addressed the queen from the pulpit, referring to Leonor. "I'd like to think that pride must be absolutely infinite, ma'am, is that so?" he asked Letizia, who replied affirmatively.
"It is, it is," she confirmed in front of everyone, showing the great admiration that both she and King Felipe feel for their successor. Although the king wasn't present at the event, he has also shown his feelings for his eldest daughter in public. At events where they've appeared together, he has always been by her side, giving her knowing looks and affectionate gestures.
As heir to the Crown, Leonor not only represents the future of the Spanish monarchy. She also embodies the values of commitment and service that her parents have highlighted at multiple events. For this reason, they can't help but feel proud of her.
Queen Letizia and King Felipe achieve their goal
When Queen Letizia and King Felipe ascended to the throne, their main objective was to restore and modernize the image of the monarchy. With Juan Carlos exiled, their main asset was their daughter Leonor as the future heir to the Crown.
Since she was very young, the king and queen have made sure to personally prepare her for her role in the institution. The results are clear, and at 19 years old, Leonor is a young woman fully committed to the Royal Family. So much so that she has become fully involved in her military training with more than successful results.
Her latest achievement has been embarking on Elcano, where we saw King Felipe and Queen Letizia very emotional at her farewell. At that moment, they set aside their role as king and queen to show themselves as parents moved by their daughter's departure.
The serious military environment coexists with affectionate gestures such as applause, public praise, and constant support that strengthens the emotional bond between them. The queen's exact response ("It is, it is") confirms the great pride the king and queen feel for Princess Leonor.
By publicly sharing their admiration for Leonor, the king and queen humanize the Crown, bringing it closer to the public. In those moments, they don't represent the institution, but rather are a mother and a father who show their affection for a daughter.
