The closeness of the royal family
One of the recurring statements by the Bourbons is their supposed intention to show closeness to the citizens. However, many wonder if there is really substance behind these words or if it is simply a way to comply with protocol. These encounters, sometimes so artificial, are rejected by those who have the ability to discern between what is authentic and what is fake.
The cost of maintaining the monarchy
While the royal family seems to enjoy a life full of luxury, the reality is that their lifestyle is paid for by the public treasury. The expectation generated by his visits to different locations seems more like a staged show than a genuine desire to connect with the people. They are often seen at public events smiling and greeting those they meet, but it all seems part of a carefully crafted script.
Meetings with citizens
It is during these encounters that the reactions of the crowd are observed, sometimes showing palpable joy at having the opportunity to see the kings. However, protocol, which often acts as a wall between the royal family and the citizens, limits the type of interaction that can take place. On more than one occasion, a security cordon has been established to protect the privacy of the family members, which distorts the intention of closeness that they try to convey.
Incident with Princess Leonor
Recently, a viral episode highlighted the strict rules surrounding interaction with royalty. During an event, an admirer of Princess Leonor, young heir to the Spanish crown, dared to get closer than usual and grabbed her waist to immortalize a photograph of her. The immediate reaction of the security personnel was alarming; Clearly surprised by the gesture, they reacted aggressively to separate the fan from the princess.
Analysis of non-verbal language
An expert in non-verbal language, upon watching the video of this moment, commented on the implications of this type of contact. He wondered what protocols are really in play. According to his analysis, the protocol college states that contact should be limited to a simple handshake, if requested. However, royals are free to approach people as they wish, which poses a clear imbalance in interaction.
A critique of disconnection
This situation highlights the disconnect between the monarchical figure and the citizens, as these types of rules would seem to place royalty above normal human interactions. The very idea that someone cannot touch a royal if they have not been invited to do so, but that said members can do so without reservation, creates a feeling of inequality.
Final thoughts
Finally, these types of situations invite us to reflect on what it really means to be part of the community in which we live. The idea that the Bourbons are equal to the rest of the citizens is called into question when such protocols are imposed in their interactions. Their desire to project closeness is clouded by these rigid rules that seem more like a symbol of distinction than a true connection with the people.
Opinions on the current monarchy
The controversy raised by this incident has once again fueled the debate about the relevance of the monarchy in today’s society. Many citizens are questioning whether it is necessary to maintain this institution and whether they really fulfill their role of representing everyone instead of being an almost inaccessible elite. Ultimately, it is the people who decide whether the monarchy has a place in the present and future of Spain.
