Princess Leonor Surprises Mario Vargas Llosa's Children in Peru

Doña Leonor has made a gesture that has surprised everyone during her stopover in Peru. She did so a few days after the death of Mario Vargas Llosa, at 89 years old, became known. The writer has died at his residence in Lima, leaving a deep void in the world of culture.

His passing has been received with sorrow both in Latin America and in Spain. Kings Felipe and Letizia have sent a private letter to the Nobel laureate's family.

In it, they have expressed their sorrow for the loss and have shown their closeness in these difficult times. The letter has been very discreet, as is usually the case with the Royal House.

The Royal House has reported this emotional meeting through their social media. On their official Instagram account, they have published a photograph of the moment.

In the image, Leonor can be seen dressed in the summer midshipman uniform. Next to her, the writer's family members pose. The snapshot has caused a wave of positive comments.

The publication has noted: “The Princess of Asturias has kept a meeting aboard the Elcano with Patricia Llosa and the children of Mario Vargas Llosa, Gonzalo and Morgana Llosa. During the stopover in El Callao (Peru).” For now, no further details about the content of this conversation have emerged.
