Queen Letizia is forced to make a very tough decision for her youngest daughter, Infanta Leonor

Queen Letizia has been forced to make an important decision that surely didn't sit well with Infanta Sofía. Despite how much her youngest daughter likes soccer, a few days ago, her absence from the final of the Queen's Cup was confirmed.

This Saturday, June 7, Huesca became the epicenter of national women's soccer. All of this happened after El Alcoraz stadium hosted the grand final of the Queen's Cup. There, FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid fought with all their strength to win this desired title.

The match started at 7:00 p.m. and was broadcast by Teledeporte. However, this time, the final featured an unusual detail compared to previous editions. As we could see, Queen Letizia was not present in the box.

Although it is common to see Infanta Sofía's mother at these events, especially because the trophy bears her name, this time she couldn't be present. However, there is a significant reason that justifies her absence.

According to reports, the absence of Queen Letizia from the final of the Queen's Cup is related to the other events that the Royal House has scheduled for her.

This Saturday, coinciding with this important sporting event, the monarch and her husband had to travel to the Canary Islands to participate in Armed Forces Day. This commemorative event was held this year on the island of Tenerife.

For this reason, this time, there was no institutional representation at the stadium in Huesca. It was impossible for Queen Letizia to attend both events, despite how excited Infanta Sofía was.

In the last final of the Queen's Cup, held at La Romareda, Queen Letizia presided over the box in the match between Barça and Real Sociedad. That match ended with a resounding 8-0 in favor of the Catalan team.

Once again, FC Barcelona arrived as the big favorite after recently being crowned European champion. Meanwhile, Atlético de Madrid's girls did everything they could to win their third Queen's Cup again.
