Infanta Elena reappears and everyone notices the same thing: the royal family didn't expect it

Infanta Elena has reappeared. She has done so with strength, elegance, and an attitude that has surprised everyone. Smiling, magnetic, and very spontaneous, she has displayed all her charms at an event that hasn't gone unnoticed because of a detail that the Royal Household didn't expect to see.

The eldest daughter of Don Juan Carlos has presided over the 34th edition of the National Heritage Children's and Youth Painting Contest for School Centers. The event took place at the Royal Palace of El Pardo and this isn't the first time she has done so. She already presided over it last year and this year, King Felipe and Queen Letizia have trusted her again.

The contest has had a clear goal: to bring children and young people closer to the history of the Royal Sites. It has done so through art. Painting has been the medium and creativity, the tool.

The Royal Household trusts Infanta Elena to preside over this official event

This year, the theme has been especially symbolic. The interiors and exteriors of monuments, gardens, fountains, palaces, monasteries, cathedrals, and other spaces linked to the Royal Household have been the focus of all the participants' attention.

Infanta Elena has been in charge of handing out diplomas to the awarded children and young people. She has done so with naturalness and warmth. In every gesture, she has shown her closeness and her involvement with the cause.

However, there has been one detail that has overshadowed everything. An accessory has caught everyone's eye: the brooch. Infanta Elena has worn it with pride.

Although its exact meaning isn't known, the gesture has been interpreted as a clear nod to her mother. Queen Sofía has always been a great fan of brooches because she has worn them on numerous occasions with elegance.

The Royal Household didn't expect Infanta Elena's nod to her mother at her reappearance

Infanta Elena's reappearance hasn't been accidental, but the Royal Household didn't expect to see the nod she made to her mother. No one expected the gesture toward Doña Sofía, although it has been a detail that has moved many. The public has noticed it and has celebrated it.

With this appearance, Elena has reminded everyone of her symbolic weight within the institution. She has shown that she is still present.

Elena keeps her closeness with the people. With small gestures, she keeps making history.
