Don Felipe came down from the first, dressed in the navy gala uniform and a Queen Letizia all glamorous with an elegant pink model of the 50s cut in the purest Audrey Hepburn style, which enhanced with her hair in a bun and large earrings.

Although the maximum expectation, as it has been happening since 2014 -year in which eight and seven years ago they premiered in this celebration of Hispanidad- was monopolized by Leonor and Sofia , who surprised with their change of look , since they wore their blonde hair, usually ironed, combed with curls. Attention was drawn to the size of Sofia, dressed in a striking turquoise dress, which at the age of 12 already half-head her sister Leonor, about to turn 14 this October 31. Anecdotal were the efforts of Sofia, who is to walk fast and has very long legs, to stay a few steps behind her sister Leonor, as the protocol marks, when they went with their parents to the stage to listen to the national anthem .

Leonor, who is expected on Friday, October 18 to star in the delivery of the Princess of Asturias Awards in Oviedo for the first time and then on November 4, to also preside over the Princess of Girona Awards on his first official visit to Catalonia He wore a nude pink two-piece and wore the gold fleece badge on his chest.

Pablo Casado was also accompanied by his wife, Isabel Torres Orts . One of the big surprises was the presence of the Basque soprano Ainoha Arteta , who performed the anthem to the Fallen Death is not the end of the road .

The most tense moment took place when one of the two paratroopers in charge of landing in the Plaza de Lima carrying the national flag, Corporal Luis Fernando Pozo , had the bad luck of engaging in a lamppost from which, after impacting heavily, I was suspended . They were very tense minutes, in which the anguish was felt both in the face of the King and Doña Letizia and her daughters, until it was confirmed that she had not suffered significant injuries.

The incident gave rise to some of the most emotional moments, since Don Felipe wanted his injured farewell to the military chiefs to be the injured end , Luis Fernando Pozo, who was very affected by what happened. The King chatted with him for a while trying to cheer him up, and the Queen said: "Don't worry." Doña Letizia, Leonor and Sofía also approached, who, breaking the protocol, dedicated a spontaneous applause to which the military could barely hold back the tears.
