“It is an important moment in my life and I feel very eager, and convinced, to continue learning and giving my best spirit to strengthen the values with which I have grown up and that today our five awardees embody”, she said, forcefully.
After thanking the award winners, the princess stepped down from the podium to a standing ovation. As expected, both King Felipe and Queen Letizia could not hide the great pride they feel for their daughter.
