Princess of Asturias Awards; 2020-2024


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
I believe that many times actions are more important than words and at 17 years old, Princess Leonor has shown that she is perfectly aware of her responsibilities: she is carrying out her military training seriously and conscientiously prepares her events and speeches.

She knows how to behave and treat authorities, famous people and normal citizens with respect, she knows what it's like to attend events that are formal or relaxed, sad or happy, or what it's like to have to go to an event sick because people expect to see her.
What i think is missing a bit (not only for her but all the spanish royals) ist that we know almost nothing about her as person as they don't give Interviews, like the for example the scandinavian royals do.

I am sure this will come once she is 18, Felipe did give interviews where he discussed some private details.
 
It is tradition that after the Princess of Asturias Awards the royal family comes to greet the Spanish Radio Television team.

The king and queen have remembered a special greeting: the one from 20 years ago. It was then that the then Prince of Asturias greeted the then journalist Letizia Ortiz.

Sotres, Exemplary Town of Asturias Award

Sotres is a locality in the Municipality of Cabrales located in the Picos de Europa National Park and Biosphere Reserve (UNESCO). At an altitude of 1050 metres, it one of the highest towns in Asturias. With one hundred and eight inhabitants, its economic activity is based on livestock and agriculture, tourism and agri-food businesses specialising in the production of Cabrales cheese.


The Princess of Asturias Foundation is to expand the activities of “Awards Week” to mark the ten years Her Royal Highness The Princess of Asturias has been Honorary President of the institution and following her coming of age.

To this end, a special programme has been put together featuring Laureates from previous years and their work. There will be fifteen events in all, which are to take place between the 12th and 26th October, coinciding with this year’s “Awards Week”.

Ten Laureates are to participate in the aforementioned events: Carmen Linares (2022), María Pagés (2022), Ingrid Daubechies (2020), Juan Mayorga (2022), Siri Hustvedt (2019), John Banville (2014), Leonardo Padura (2015), Jeffrey Gordon (2023), Lindsey Vonn (2019) and Teresa Perales (2021). In addition, Mary Beard (2016) and Sandra Myrna Díaz (2019) will feature in a special edition of the “Taking the Floor” educational programme that will be launched in November.

Beautiful outing for Leonor. And I am loving her voice and speech (she sounds a lot like her mother). And the suit is very nice on her. Professional yet young and fun.
 
Leonor quite rushes through her speech/seems out of breath at times, but well done considering what is already on her plate at this age, preparing all this plus the full military education.

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.
