Felipe VI and Letizia Ortiz They met this week at the 2024 Planeta Awardswhere they starred in a singular moment in front of everyone present and which has gone viral on social networks, above all, due to the behavior that the Spanish monarch had in front of his wife.
The kings presided over the 73rd edition of the “Planeta Novel Prize”, this time being Paloma Sánchez-Garnica the winner of the night with the novel “Victoria”, which received the prize from the king. Following this, she spoke a few words of gratitude for this recognition.
Felipe VI slaps Letizia Ortiz for this gesture
However, before the award ceremony, the traditional dinner was held, in which the menu was served to nearly 1,100 people. And it was precisely under this context where the kings had some gestures and attitudes that became the most talked about among the press and on social networks.
The monarchs enjoyed this dinner at the table that was in front of the stage, which is why several were able to capture this moment that occurred after dessert was served.
At that moment, the queen took a knife and sat up in her chair with the intention of cutting the cake. Nevertheless, don Felipe It caught his attention and he slapped Letizia so that he wouldn’t do it. So, from this, we can realize that the king was not pleased at all that the consort wanted to cut a piece of the cake.
On the other hand, this blunt behavior by the head of the Spanish crown was highly criticized by several Internet users since some considered that he should have told him privately that that gesture was not right and not slapped him in public.
