Princess Leonor approaches her paternal grandmother, Queen Sofía, and just at that moment her mother grabs her right arm and pulls her slightly towards her. Some think that the queen’s intention was for her youngest daughter to position herself properly and as they have previously established for this event, among Mrs. Letizia and his maternal grandmother. It must be remembered that the great protagonist of this day is the Infanta Sofía and, for this reason, she is the one who on this occasion stands between the king and the emeritus, and not his older sister.
