Queen Letizia has made the first public appearance after daughter Princess Leonor took over a historic role.
The Princess of Asturias took the role of “flag bearer” at the swearing-in ceremony of 45 Spanish residents in Uruguay on March 7.
Leonor gave a subtle nod to father King Felipe, who was also a flag bearer in 1987 during his training as a midshipman.
Letizia stepped out to attend the final of Water Polo Cup between CN Sant Andreu and Astralpool CN Sabadell on Sunday.
The Spanish Royal Family shared details about her public engagement on Instagram.
“The Queen presides over the final of the XXIX S.M. la Reina Iberdrola Waterpolo Cup between CN Sant Andreu and Astralpool CN Sabadell at the Son Hugo Municipal Pools (Palma), and presents the individual trophies as well as the S.M. la Reina Cup to the captain of the winning team,” the statement read.
