This week several events have been carried out within the framework of the Princess of Asturias Awards 2024in which two of them presided alone Princess of Lonor to receive the appointment of Honorary Mayor of Oviedo and the Medal of Asturias.
Both events took place last Thursday, October 24, and were perfectly planned from start to finish, as is usually the case with these types of royal events. However, some experts have noticed some small protocol errors that were committed just this day yesterday.
The first of them was that Leonor arrived late for her appointment at the Town Hall square yesterday. It was planned to be there at 12:00 to start at 12:15. However, the event started much later as she did not arrive on time. The reason for this would be because the plane in which the young woman traveled from Madrid to Oviedo had a delay.
Another situation that happened was when he received a corporate medallion from Oviedo from the mayor of the Asturian capital since the cord on which the medal came got tangled in his hair when he was hanging it on him. Although this is something that could be taken as a simple funny anecdote, it is true that this should also have been foreseen within the protocol.
This was the error that occurred in an event that Leonor presided over at the Princess of Asturias Awards
On the other hand, it was in the second act, which took place in the library of the Historical Building of the University of Oviedo, where the first-born of the kings witnessed an error while the delivery of the award was taking place. Medal of Asturias.
After receiving this medal, the national anthem was played before her and the other officials present. However, the error came right at this moment as some continued looking for their place while the anthem was being sung. Which was criticized by two experts on these protocol issues.
That during the anthem we have this bad image of charges looking for their place, does not speak too well of the organization or the #protocol of this act. This must be anticipated in time. And starting to present with everyone standing is nonsense. #asino pic.twitter.com/bCkpG1U7qg

For her part, Diana Rubio, PhD in Communication, stressed that this was a lack of respect since this type of thing is supposed to be planned beforehand. That during the anthem we have this bad image of charges looking for their place, does not speak very well of the organization or the protocol of this act,” he emphasized. “This must be provided in time. And to start presenting with everyone standing is nonsense,” he pointed out.
While the protocol expert Ana Polo commented something similar since for this reason this was “intolerable, an unjustifiable shabby thing. “What a cat.” “The anthem plays and the protocol officers still place the people. Half of them don’t even know where they are going,” he suggested. “This should be more than prepared before starting,” he noted.
