Princess Leonor, heir to the Spanish throne, is in the process of preparing for her future role as queen.
This preparation includes a rigorous three-year military training, a crucial step in her development as a leader.
During her first year, Leonor has shown promising qualities for a competent monarch.
Although she enjoys wide acceptance and popularity, boosted by the support of her parents, King Felipe and Queen Letizia, there are still aspects she must perfect.
An expert on Royal Household affairs has outlined the key aspects the princess must focus on to ensure a successful transition to the throne.
What does Princess Leonor need to improve?
At every event, all eyes are focused on the demeanor and posture of the future queen. These events mark the first occasions when the princess must show her ability to act naturally and firmly, evidencing her readiness to assume official responsibilities.
Julio García Gómez, a renowned communication expert quoted by Lecturas magazine, points out which are the things the princess could perfect.
For example, he suggests that she improve her technique when making speeches, not because of a lack of relevance in her words, but because of the vocal technique used.
He recommends that Leonor deepen her diaphragmatic breathing to avoid running out of air at the end of sentences, which will allow her to project confidence and better manage her emotions.
In addition, she is advised to make more strategic use of body language, such as hand movements, to add strength to her message when speaking.
The expert also suggests that, with more experience, she seek a greater connection with the audience, gradually moving away from the written script when the situation allows.
As she gains more practice, the princess is expected to develop greater emotional self-control, which will give her more solidity and allow her to enjoy the public speaking experience more.
Finally, the expert emphasizes the importance of her learning to manage her nerves, which is essential given the pressure of speaking before large audiences and her future role as queen.
