King Felipe and Queen Letizia recreated the picture taken at the 2003 Prince of Asturias Awards when their relationship was still a secret from the public. According to sources present, it was Letizia's idea to recreate the moment.
It was the first time that Letizia Ortiz as a journalist went to the Campoamor Theater to cover the awards on the public channel. The following year she returned, but this time as Princess of Asturias. Edition after edition has been faithful to one of her most special events, which now bears the name of her first-born: the Princess of Asturias. King Felipe greeted everyone present and stopped with Doña Letizia who was next to María Escario.
The then journalist was somewhat shy, aware of the impact that the images would have shortly after. She couldn't help but smile nervously. She was wearing an elegant pinstriped suit with a black top. The snapshots spread like wildfire when there were still no social networks and some time later Queen Letizia herself would speak out about that outstanding episode that would mark the beginning of everything that was to come. "I was lucky enough to cover the Prince of Asturias Awards. I remember in front of the prince, His Royal Highness, and Graciano García saying: 'How did you not tell me that you were Menchu's granddaughter?' The prince would look at me and say: 'And what about this girl?'"
The archive of the public channel has allowed viewers to know some of the secrets that have been kept for 37 years around the 18th birthday of the former Prince of Asturias. Juan Carlos I's son starred in a series of false shots prior to his definitive message, which was recorded to be later broadcast on television. King Felipe wore the cadet suit of the General Military Academy of Zaragoza, where Princess Leonor is currently serving.
I love how smiley Felipe is!! Even while having redo it. 🥹 he reminds me of Sofia when she laughs
