Especially at first she seems consistently out of breath, so I guess she's nervous. I do like how she shared some (not very personal) memories of spending time in Asturias with her maternal family. It must be great for Asturias to now have a princess carrying their name with 'Asturian blood' as she herself puts it.
She doesn't rush. She still has some problems with pausing with punctuation, specially when there is a flowing sentence following afterwards.

I have several Latin American friends that found difficult when first arrived in Spain how fast we speak. Castilian is fast spoken language and making a speech in that setting, it's not easy. Even someone like Meryl Streep, with her experience, made a couple of nervous mistakes last year...and her speech was in English.
