This June 19th was the anniversary of the proclamation of King Felipe VI, and Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía intentionally broke the protocol to surprise their parents at this royal event, where they enjoyed the presence of many followers of the Spanish monarchy.
During the lunch organized by the King, his daughters Leonor and Sofía stood up to go to the center of the hall to give a speech that started with the Princess of Asturias saying, “Mom, Dad, sorry for sneaking in, but we also have something to say today“, which surprised everyone present.
The Infanta Sofía expressed with some nerves, “Thank you for joining us to remember that in these ten years, we have learned from our parents the commitment that the four of us have as Spaniards“. This undoubtedly filled the king with pride, but that would not be all.
