Urgent notice from the Royal Household about Queen Letizia: she can't do it and they're serious

An important and urgent notice has been issued by Casa Real regarding Queen Letizia. Yes, it has been stated that she will be the major absentee at a significant sporting event next weekend. However, the truth is, she can't attend.

She won't be presiding over the final of the Copa de la Reina de fútbol this Saturday, which will see Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid face off. On other occasions, there had been speculation about her presence until the very end. Now it is known that she won't be there, as she has another important engagement where Princess Leonor could play a crucial role.

Casa Real makes it clear: Queen Letizia has another commitment

In other editions of the Copa de la Reina, the public and the media speculated until the last moment about whether Queen Letizia would attend. On some occasions, she did attend, generating headlines and important symbolic gestures for women's soccer. On others, her absence was discreet, with no public explanations from Casa Real.

However, this year there are no doubts. Zarzuela has been unequivocal: the wife of Felipe VI won't be able to attend the final. The reason is significant: the royals will be in the Canary Islands, presiding over the official events for Armed Forces Day.

This celebration has a deep institutional meaning, and this year it takes on special significance. Everything suggests that a key moment could occur for the Royal Family: the reunion with Princess Leonor.

This military event is not just any other on the monarchs' agenda. This year, everything indicates that their eldest daughter could be present. After completing part of her training on the Elcano training ship, she is returning to Spain to continue her preparation.

Although Casa Real hasn't officially confirmed her participation yet, rumors persist. Leonor could accompany her parents and even take an active part in the military parade. It would be a gesture of enormous symbolism, reinforcing her institutional role and her closeness to the military.

In this context, it is understandable that Queen Letizia can't split herself between two events. She has decided, as the wife of the head of state and mother of the heir, to be where she is truly needed. The priority is clear: family and the institution above all else.

Queen Letizia, involved but absent from the major sporting final

Queen Letizia has always been a figure committed to sports and, in particular, to the visibility of women in Spanish soccer. Her name gives the tournament its title, the Copa de la Reina, and her attendance in the past has helped reinforce the importance of the event.

She was present, for example, at the finals in 2019 in Granada and in 2024 in Zaragoza. On both occasions, her presence caused a strong media and emotional impact. That's why her absence in 2025 has caused surprise and some disappointment among fans and teams.

However, this time there is no room for rumors; Casa Real wanted to put an end to any speculation. Letizia won't go, and it is a firm decision. Her role in Saturday's military commemoration carries more weight, no matter how symbolic the tournament that bears her name may be.

This Saturday, while the ball rolls at El Alcoraz, she will be in another part of the country, fulfilling her institutional duties. In Huesca, Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid will face off in a highly desired final. It will be a clash of titans that promises excitement and great soccer, although without the queen's presence in the box.
