Queen Letizia and Her Daughters Shine with Sign Language at Majorcan Palace
ROYAL SCOOP: Queen Letizia and Daughters Wow with Sign Language Skills
In a heartwarming moment that stole the show, Queen Letizia of Spain and her two daughters, Princesses Leonor and Sofía, have been spotted using sign language to connect with the deaf community. The adorable clip was captured at a royal reception held at Marivent Palace in Majorca, where the Spanish royals were hosting local authorities and dignitaries.
But what makes this moment even more special is that it's not just a one-off gesture. Sources close to the family reveal that Queen Letizia has been taking sign language classes for some time now, determined to be more inclusive of people with disabilities. And it seems her daughters have picked up the skill as well!
According to Ana María Ruiz, president of the Mallorca Deaf Persons Association, who was invited to the royal occasion, the queen and her daughters were eager to learn and use sign language. "I taught them some basic signs, and they picked it up quickly," she said in an interview with thescholarlynote.com.
The video, shared by Ana on her Instagram page, shows Queen Letizia and her daughters smiling warmly at the camera as they each sign their names, followed by a round of applause. The royals looked stylish in their colorful summer dresses, with Leonor oozing confidence in a blue and white off-the-shoulder midi dress.
Meanwhile, Sofía donned a satin pink and orange gown that perfectly matched her bubbly personality. And Queen Letizia looked typically regal in a cream-colored gown featuring intricate lace detailing.
But what's even more interesting is the context of this heartwarming moment. The royal family has been making headlines recently with their annual summer holiday in Majorca, where they've been spotted attending film festivals and enjoying quality time together.
Last week, Queen Letizia and her daughters were seen attending a screening of "En un Lugar de la Mente" at the Atlantida Film Festival in Palma de Mallorca. The queen looked relaxed in a stylish monochrome dress, while Princess Sofia opted for a flowy black midi dress that she paired with black sandals.
Crown Princess Leonor, who recently completed her naval training, wore casual wide-leg trousers and a white lace top, completing her summer look with brown sandals and a woven bag. The royal trio were spotted taking in the island sights during their annual holiday, no doubt enjoying some well-deserved R&R after a busy year of royal duties.
But Leonor's recent milestone is certainly one to note. Last month, she received the Navy Merit Grand Cross from her proud father, King Felipe, at a Flag Pledge Ceremony at the Naval Military Academy in Marín, Pontevedra. The award acknowledges her commitment and connection to Spain's armed forces, marking a significant milestone in her royal journey.
As the future queen, Leonor is set to take on more responsibilities within the Spanish monarchy, and it's clear that she's taking her duties seriously. With her mother Queen Letizia by her side, supporting her every step of the way, we can't wait to see what the future holds for this talented young royal.
And as for Queen Letizia? She's certainly winning hearts with her kind gestures and commitment to inclusivity. Who knows? Maybe she'll inspire a new generation of royals to follow in her footsteps and use their platforms to make a positive impact on society. One thing's for sure – the Spanish monarchy is in good hands with this dynamic trio at the helm!
