    Queen Letizia’s trip to New York continues to leave anecdotes such as the one she experienced during her visit to the headquarters of the Cervantes Institute in the U.S. city.

    The Spanish monarch, fulfilled her agenda where she met with Jill Biden, wife of the president of the United States, talked about the fight against cancer and spoke in her speeches about this disease and about mental health care, but a curious fact occurred with the ambassador of Spain in the U.S., Santiago Cabanas.

    Queen Letizia’s greeting to the Ambassador of Spain

    The Spanish consort upon arriving at the headquarters of the Cervantes Institute went directly to greet the diplomat and everything seems to indicate that she did not like how he shook her hand because he said: “Shake hands with me like a man”, in a joking tone that has gone viral in the networks.

    Some users related the ambassador’s fear of shaking hands with the queen due to the strong arms that characterize the monarch.
