It’s no secret that Queen Letizia has mastered the art of public speaking. Years of experience in front of the cameras have given her unparalleled skill, and now she is using that ability to guide her daughter, Princess Leonor, ahead of the Princess of Asturias Awards.
This ceremony will mark an important milestone for the heiress, who will assume an even more prominent role at the event.
Queen Letizia helps Princess Leonor with her speeches
Queen Letizia, known for her impeccable diction and absolute control when she stands before a microphone, has been praised on numerous occasions for the clarity and precision with which she delivers each of her speeches. She does not stick to the textual reading, but dominates her message to the millimeter before delivering it.
Sources close to the royal family assure that “Queen Letizia leaves nothing to chance; everything she says she already knows beforehand, because her dedication is absolute”.
According to Monarquía Confidencial, the queen has been a crucial support for Leonor in the institutional aspect. Sources point out that the princess follows her mother’s advice to the letter, especially when it comes to how to communicate with the public.
Letizia, aware of the importance of her daughter’s image, has placed special emphasis on the way Leonor presents herself to the audience, from her posture to the way she modulates her voice.
This year, Princess Leonor will assume a more relevant role at the Princess of Asturias Awards. It is expected that, instead of her father, Felipe VI, she will be the one to close the event with a speech. Although some rumors indicated that Leonor could preside the ceremony alone, Zarzuela sources deny this possibility for now.
The evolution of the princess in her public appearances has been remarkable. The same sources point out that Leonor is already far ahead of other European heiresses, such as Ingrid of Norway or Amalia of the Netherlands, in terms of her ability to speak in public.
“Leonor has learned from her mother how to capture the audience’s attention with her tone of voice, her gaze, and small gestures that reinforce her message,” they stress.
Leonor at the Princess of Asturias Awards
This year will be especially significant for the princess, not only because of the awards that bear her name, but also because she also celebrates ten years as honorary president of the Princess of Asturias Foundation.
In addition, on the eve of the awards ceremony, she will be honored with the Medal of Asturias, awarded by the Government of the Principality, and will receive the title of honorary mayoress of Oviedo.
All this will contribute to Leonor’s continued consolidation as a key figure in the Spanish monarchy, with the constant and expert support of her mother.
