The queen is closely following each and every one of the information regarding the summer scandal: the controversial kiss that Luis Rubiales gave Jenni Hermoso during the World Cup final in Australia. Lady Letizia He moved to Sydney with his daughter, the infanta sofiato cover the champions and feels that his gesture and the historic victory of the Spanish soccer players have been relegated to the background.
His trip, in fact, was highly applauded from the moment it was announced, especially when it transpired that no representative of English royalty (neither the kings nor the princes of Wales) would travel to support his team. The international press praised the presence of the queen and her daughter and also applauded her naturalness and spontaneity when celebrating the Cup with the champions: smiles, hugs, shouts and even a ‘Let Letizia jump!’ to which the queen responded delightedly. A magnificent image abroad that has been tarnished by Rubiales’ gesture and that has angered the queen a lot: “Winning a women’s soccer world cup is not seen every day, and that it is tarnished by a disgusting fact keeps the queen very aware of the situation, although in silence”, say Zarzuela sources in ECD.
Not only that: the controversy has also plagued the Infanta Sofía since the Prosecutor’s Office announced that it is considering suing Rubiales for “indecent exposure in the presence of a minor.” And it is that the youngest daughter of the kings was next to the president of the RFEF when he grabbed her genitals to celebrate, from the box of authorities, the Spanish victory.
According to the aforementioned media, both Felipe and Letizia are very concerned about the events, as they agree that the image of Spain abroad is being seriously damaged and they know that the responsibility for restoring it will fall, to a large extent, on them.
