Official confession from Queen Letizia about Princess Leonor: she will never be able to forget it

In an unusual yet moving moment during an official event, Queen Letizia uttered a phrase that surprised everyone present. Upon the public mention of Princess Leonor, Doña Letizia not only replied with words, but also with a genuine emotion that she rarely lets show. For the first time so directly, the Queen confessed that she feels proud of the path her eldest daughter, Leonor, has taken.

This confession took place during an institutional event held at Banco Santander's headquarters, where the Queen met with personalities such as Richard Gere and illusionist Jorge Blass. In that formal setting, journalist Ángel Expósito took the opportunity to address her directly with a remark about the princess's military training. When asked directly if she felt proud, the Queen answered without hesitation: "She is, she is."

It is very uncommon for the royals to comment publicly on personal matters or those related to their daughters, especially in official contexts. However, this time, the Queen wanted to respond and leave a mark with her words. She did so without excess, but with enough clarity so that no one would doubt the message: her pride is absolute and sincere.

Leonor Faces New Challenges While Queen Letizia Follows Every Step With Pride 

Princess Leonor has recently completed a crucial part of her training aboard the training ship Juan Sebastián de Elcano. Her next destination will be the frigate Blas de Lezo, where she will continue her learning in naval operations. It will be a demanding yet enriching experience that strengthens her role as future head of state.

Queen Letizia has closely followed every step of this training process. She has personally advised her daughter in public appearances and has been present, albeit discreetly, at her most important moments. Her involvement, although not always visible, has been constant since Leonor began her preparation as heir to the throne.

The frigate Blas de Lezo will be the setting for a new stage that will further consolidate the princess's vocation for service. On board, she will live with the crew and face real situations of military life. This phase is expected to last until early July, at which time the princess will return to Gijón to rejoin the Elcano.

Queen Letizia Breaks Her Discretion Before Leonor's Final Effort

Once summer ends, Princess Leonor will move to the General Air and Space Academy in San Javier. There, she will begin the final stage of her military training, thus closing the three-year cycle established for her military preparation. It will be an intense period, but a key one to complete her training as future queen.

Letizia's comment revealed more than maternal pride: it showed the emotional weight that her daughter's maturation process has for her. It was not a political or institutional statement, but an intimate reflection from someone who has silently lived through each of Leonor's sacrifices. That's why she said what she said: because there are things that can't be forgotten.
