The Spanish royals have sparked a fan frenzy after they were spotted showcasing a rare skill during a glitzy reception this week. Queen Letizia joined her husband, King Felipe, and their two daughters, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia, for a very special reception at their summer residence, Marivent Palace, in Majorca.
The Spanish royals welcomed local authorities at their Majorcan abode for a dinner to celebrate their efforts for the community. But there was one sweet moment that impressed fans. One of the guests, Ana María Ruiz, president of the Mallorca Deaf Persons Association, shared a video of the royal ladies using sign language.
The video, which was shared on the association’s Facebook group, showed Letizia, Leonor, and Sofia all signing their names to the camera before lifting their hands up for “applause.”
Ana María wrote in a caption accompanying the sweet video: “Yesterday I had the honour of attending the King’s Reception at the Marivent Palace.
“It was a unique moment, even more special by the presence of Princess Leonor and infant Sofia, who attended for the first time.
“As president of the Mallorca Deaf Persons Association, I had the opportunity to teach them some basic signs in sign language.
“I also bumped into sports greats like Rafa Nadal and Rudy Fernández. An unforgettable experience.”
Fans took to the comment section to praise the Spanish royals, with one user writing: “Phenomenal.”
Another one said: “Congatulations for your goodwill and for teaching [the royals] the signs. Bravo.”
A third one added: “They are generous to show us their signs. Thank you Annie.”
