Princess Leonor may be far away, but she is definitely not absent. Despite being in the middle of the Atlantic, the daughter of King Felipe and Queen Letizia did not miss the opportunity to send a birthday message to her father.
This is part of her path to becoming queen, something we’ve already talked about here on RoyalFamily.news.
King Felipe VI turned 56 on January 30. Although there are no details on how he celebrated his birthday, the Spanish press managed to get access to that special congratulations from his daughter.
Leonor’s Birthday Message to King Felipe
According to the media outlet Monarquía Confidencial, Leonor took the time to congratulate her father, a sign of the close relationship they have.
Sources close indicate that, despite the distance, Leonor’s words were meaningful.
However, her message arrived a little late. The reason? Although the Elcano has advanced telecommunications technology, the ship’s location affected the connection.
Elcano passed through areas with poorer coverage, which delayed the delivery of the message by a few hours.
But at the end of the day, what really matters is what her father received from his daughter.
Although the princess avoided grand speeches, her message was sincere and reflected the complicity between them: “Many congratulations, daddy, I miss you.”
On the other hand, it has not been reported whether Infanta Sofia, who is in Wales completing her studies, also congratulated her father.
