Germany confirms the truth about Princess Leonor

Today, Princess Leonor is making headlines in much of both national and international press. Even countries like Germany have echoed how the heiress has successfully and with honors completed her time with the Navy. Yesterday, Leonor received the Grand Cross of Naval Merit in a ceremony full of symbolism and institutional significance.

At one point during the celebration, the German press confirmed the rumor about the princess: she feels great affection for her sister, Infanta Sofía. The connection between them goes beyond the formal, reflecting a genuine bond that stands out even in protocol events. Proof of this was the hug the princess gave Sofía, completely and unexpectedly breaking the rigidity of the moment.

Germany has paid special attention to this moment that has crossed all borders. Experts highlight that the hug between the two broke with the usual protocol of a solemn military event, giving the ceremony a family symbolism.

After receiving the Grand Cross of Naval Merit from her father, Princess Leonor shared a warm hug with Sofía. Both, smiling and happy, embraced each other for a few seconds. That was more than enough time for the rumor about their good and close relationship to reach Germany.

This year has been especially difficult for Princess Leonor, who has spent months away from her family. Sofía has endured her absence with resignation, aware that it is part of her role as future queen. Now that they are finally together again, not even the solemnity of the event has prevented them from publicly showing the affection they have for each other.

Princess Leonor moves Germany

In Spain, we are used to seeing that exchange of glances and knowing gestures between Princess Leonor and Sofía. In Germany, however, they have only been able to confirm that the appreciation held in our country for their good relationship is true.

Felipe and Letizia have tried to ensure there are no differences between them and that their relationship is healthy. Judging by the moments they share with us, they have achieved their goal and, as of today, Leonor and Sofía are closer than ever.

Even in the most important moments for the youngest in the family, such as her graduation, the princess was present. Although not in person because she was on Elcano, she did send her a message that crossed borders. "I'm very proud of you and we'll see each other at home soon to celebrate," Leonor promised.

The moment has arrived and, finally, both sisters are together again after months apart. Now they will have time to catch up and share this summer period before Leonor begins in the Air Force.

In short, it can be said that their relationship not only transcends hierarchy. It also crosses borders, causing the international press to amplify this bond and confirm the strong union between Leonor and Sofía.
