Once again the Asturian demonstrated her power.
It is no secret to anyone that Queen Letizia has always wanted to stand out and that is due to the control she has over her loved ones. In this note we will relive the day when the consort hit King Philip in her weak point.
The edition of the Princess of Asturias Awards was not without surprises, and one of the most notable was Queen Letizia's gesture towards her husband, King Felipe. As revealed by journalist Jaime Peñafiel, the absence of the Emeritus Juan Carlos and the Infantas Elena and Cristina at the event was a direct decision of the consort, considering that their presence was damaging to the Institution," stated Peñafiel.
But the matter did not stop there. The Spanish digital newspaper republica.com maintains that the Asturian not only excluded the most questioned members of the royal family, but also decided not to invite the entire Ortiz Rocasolano family, her own. The reason? Apparently, to generate discomfort in the Infantas Elena and Cristina, who saw it as a provocation against them.
These revelations highlight the growing power and influence that Queen Letizia exercises within the Spanish Royal Family. Some experts maintain that her decisive character and political skill have allowed her to earn a prominent place in decision-making.
"Letizia knows how to pressure Felipe VI on his weak points. She is, without a doubt, the strategist behind many of the Crown's actions in recent years," says royal analyst Carlos Menchaca.
This situation raises questions about the balance of power within the Royal Family and the increasingly leading role that the queen consort is assuming. Her ability to influence decisions as sensitive as attendance at official events highlights her growing role in the Spanish monarchical institution.
