The unexpected meeting between Letizia and Brigitte Macron in Paris: “What are you doing here?”

The first day of Queen Letizia in Paris to support the Spanish Paralympic team has ended with a funny anecdote when the wife of Felipe VI has met the French first lady, Brigitte MacronThe president’s wife was visiting the facilities and ‘stumbled’ upon the Spanish consort by chance: “What are you doing here?”she asked, surprised to see her, also dressed in a sports uniform and with a backpack on her shoulder. “It’s my first day here”Letizia told him.

Macron, dressed in a baby blue suit, was stunned. Affectionately holding his guest’s hand, he offered his support these days: “Anything you need…”

An expected public meeting after what happened last July, when the queen was absent from the official reception offered by the Macrons at the Élysée Palace on the occasion of the inauguration of the 2024 Olympic Games. At that time, Letizia did not accompany Felipe in front of the cameras for reasons that were not disclosed (Guillermo de Holanda also attended without Máxima), but she did join the subsequent dinner offered by the IOC president at the Louvre Museum.

Letizia returns to work

After her private holiday in Greece, the Queen has resumed her institutional activity and did so this Friday in Paris to support the Spanish athletes at the Paralympic Games. A trip whose preparations have coincided with the admission of her eldest daughter, Leonor, to the Naval Military School of Marín on Thursday afternoon, 29th, which she could not accompany.

Her first match was the wheelchair basketball match between the Spanish and Australian teams at the Bercy Arena. The second was the 100m breaststroke SB8 final, where the Spanish Anastasiya Dmytriv took the gold. It seems that Letizia, who on this occasion was accompanied by the minister Pilar Alegría, continues to be a good talisman for our athletes.
