In recent weeks, Spain has experienced moments of great impact due to the ravages caused by the floods, which has left many communities devastated.
The Royal Household, aware of the magnitude of this tragedy, has taken steps to show its support for those affected.
One image that remained engraved in the collective memory was that of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia with mud-stained faces during their visit to Paiporta, one of the hardest hit localities.
However, plans for new visits to these affected areas, such as Chiva, have been postponed without a specific date, generating uncertainty.
Attention has also been focused on Princess Leonor, who, at 19 years old, is considered by many as a fundamental piece for the future of the monarchy.
Some wonder what role the heiress has assumed in this context, since so far there has been no confirmation of her presence in the affected areas.
Zarzuela, aware of the impact of social media, has observed how users are requesting that Leonor visit these areas, highlighting that her participation could strengthen the link of the Crown with the new generations.
One of the reasons why the Princess has not been seen on these visits could be related to maintaining discretion to avoid crowds that would hinder the work of volunteers and military on the ground.
“Her presence would be a symbol of support, but it could also attract too much attention,” comment sources close to her.
Meanwhile, Felipe VI continues with his agenda of support for the victims, albeit alone. During his visit to Valencia, the monarch reaffirmed the Crown’s commitment to those who have lost so much due to the storm.
For their part, Letizia and Felipe have assured that, once the circumstances calm down, they will return to the affected areas, but without revealing dates to avoid complicated situations such as those experienced in Paiporta.
The expectations on Leonor come not only from her title as Princess of Asturias, but also because her image connects directly with the younger generations who are showing a remarkable commitment to the recovery of the affected communities.
The possibility of seeing her accompany her parents on future visits would be a significant gesture that would consolidate her role as a representative of the Spanish monarchy at a crucial time.
While a new joint appearance of the royal family in the damaged areas is expected, it is clear that the Royal Household has maintained a firm stance of support towards those affected, first through official communiqués and then with the physical presence of its members.
The question now is whether Leonor will take the step forward that many expect and become the symbol of hope and renewal that some consider essential for the Crown.
