Royal Household Statement on King Felipe and Queen Letizia: The Decision Is Overwhelming

The Royal Household has communicated the step taken by Felipe and Letizia to calm the commotion over Leonor's scandal: including her in their schedules. The kings have already announced what their events will be for the coming days, and in all of them, their eldest daughter will be present. Although it will be in a symbolic way, since she continues with her training cruise aboard Elcano.

What the Royal Household intends is to remind people of the role the princess plays in the institution and not her bikini photos. To this end, her parents, Felipe and Letizia, will ensure she is very present in two of the most relevant events for this week.

Royal Household Reports on Felipe and Letizia's Plan

The communication strategy of the Royal Household after the publication of Leonor's bikini photos has been clear: silence. Although sources close to Felipe and Letizia state that they didn't take it well, they have chosen not to comment. Instead, they have made a move to overshadow that cover and restore the heiress's image within the institution.

To this end, the Royal Household has informed about the events that Felipe and Letizia will have soon where their daughter will be very present. The kings have decided to include her symbolically in their official acts while she is aboard Elcano. The aim is to emphasize Leonor's role as a future queen and ensure no one forgets what she represents.

Thus, this very Friday, April 11, Letizia will attend as her representative at the proclamation of the Princess of Girona CreaEmpresa Award 2025. It won't be until a few months later that the same Princess of Asturias will be in charge of presenting the award to the winner.

Coinciding with this event, Felipe will be at the Naval Museum in Madrid to see the exhibition on the recovery of Salvador de Bahía. It is a part of the history of the Felipe IV navy that battled against the Dutch. This same historical moment was recalled by Leonor during her visit to Brazil, so she will also be very present at Felipe's event.

Royal Household Makes a Move and Fulfills Felipe and Letizia's Objective

The inclusion of Leonor in Felipe and Letizia's events represents a move by the Royal Household to calm the media commotion. The aim is to show the heiress as a young woman committed to her future institutional role even outside our country. Undoubtedly, the speech that Letizia will deliver this Friday in León will have a section dedicated to the Princess of Asturias.

This will serve to institutionalize her image and counteract the published photos of her in a bikini. Additionally, these events have been sought to be of diverse nature and aimed at different audiences. This responds to the need to expand the connection radius with society and reach the majority of media outlets.

The Royal Household has shown an effective response capability to the heiress's image crisis. The strategy seems aimed at softening the media attention on Leonor and her recent photos. Felipe and Letizia have sought to balance their daughter's private life with the need for her institutional responsibilities not to be forgotten.

The Royal Family has been committed to protecting the princess and ensuring her public image is not affected by recent controversies. Therefore, since they couldn't prevent the publication of the photos, they have made a move to mitigate their effects. Only time will tell if those images of Leonor prevail over her role as a future queen.
