It is said that a child's smile can heal everything, and who doesn't like a well-behaved and cute child? Whether it is the most beautiful little princess in dubai in the oil emirate, or the cute Charlotte of the old empire Britain, the little princess of the family can win the hearts of the whole family on the inside and attract the public on the outside.
However, there is a little princess whose birth really pulled her royal family back from the brink of the crisis of support, which can be called the little lucky star of the whole family, which is the 16-year-old Spanish princess Leonor.
Princess Leonor is the eldest daughter of the current King felipe VI of Spain and Queen Letizia, and is a royal treasure born with a golden spoon.
Her father's identity is double high, and her mother is also a beauty who has the courage to compare with the world's first lady in the same frame, such a little princess, the appearance temperament is naturally not to say.
In 2005, Princess Leonor was just born and was warmly celebrated across the country, which was no less than the British celebration of the birth of Little Charlotte.
As the little princess grows up, her beautiful and cute appearance and well-behaved demeanor suck fans madly through various photo videos. In the "Most Beloved Royal Child" selection, she topped the list, with 64.7% of the vote.
For herself, the high popularity may only mean that she is likable enough, but for the Spanish royal family behind her, the popular favorability brought by the little princess has risen, which can be said to be a life-saving straw in the snow - because the image and situation of the Spanish royal family in those years are really too bad.
The royal family was in a bad situation in those years, and the first reason was the change of the general environment. In fact, almost before and after World War II, the royal families of European countries have become less and less popular, and public opinion generally believes that the parliamentary system of the capable and brainstorming is more advanced. It is good to be a ceremonial head, and it is not impossible not to have a king.
Even if, like the United Kingdom, the early transition to a constitutional monarchy, the king retained only a small amount of suffrage, there are still a considerable number of British people who believe that they should imitate the powerful and rapidly developing United States and completely abolish the royal family.
For many years after the accession of the old King of Spain, Juan Carlos I, he could have relied on the accumulated prestige to sit on the throne. After all, the king took the initiative to give up power after taking power, allowing Spain to smoothly transition to a constitutional monarchy.
The Spanish people believed that this proved that the king was not fond of power and put the interests of the country first, so he loved the royal family very much.
However, with the passage of time, the initial accumulation of goodwill points was gradually consumed by the royal family's own tumultuous operations.
The first to bear the brunt of this, of course, was the old king himself, and since he could not find a sense of accomplishment in power, his interest turned to all kinds of enjoyment. Luxury goods, luxury cars, yachts naturally needless to say, his private life is also a mess, can be called scandal-ridden.
His wife, Queen Sophia, was originally a Greek princess, and probably because of the royal intermarriage, the relationship between the husband and wife was not harmonious; in the face of the old king's one after another exposed lovers and illegitimate children, the queen chose to live their own lives and ignore them.
In addition, Felipe, who was still the crown prince at the time, did not let the people worry, he chose a professional woman Letizia as the quasi-crown princess, but the woman was exposed to a large number of black materials such as the last marriage history, unrequited love, indecent photos and so on before the wedding.
In those years, the Spanish people looked at their royal family, I am afraid that their hearts were desperate - although the country is already a constitutional monarchy, do not expect the king to personally handle the affairs of the military state, but as a ceremonial head of state, the symbol of the country, do you have to make so many scandals?
As a result, the royal family's public opinion support rate has been depressed, to the point of precariousness.
The Spanish Constitution stipulates that the royal family can be abolished if the number of referendums reaches a certain percentage. Even if it is not abolished, the support rate will go all the way down, and the social status of the royal family will inevitably become more and more marginalized.
Looking at the situation of the Spanish royal family, do you understand why the Queen of England can even break her teeth and swallow blood even when her husband finds a lover and her son cheats on her?
All in all, at a time when the Spanish royal family was in a bad situation, the little princess Leonor was born.
This little princess is really long - inheriting the advantages of both parents, with innocent and lovely eyes, shiny blonde hair, and in the eyes of the Spanish people, it is as if she has seen the dawn after the haze.
Moreover, as the little princess grew up, she became more and more cute and well-behaved, and showed good upbringing. The child grows up well, the parents will certainly not be bad, and her parents, Crown Prince Felipe and his wife, have thus brushed more good feelings in the eyes of the public.
In fact, letizia certainly had a bunch of black material before marriage, and Felipe also had a long list of gossip girlfriends, including Liechtenstein Princess Tatiana (the legendary Queen Sophia's favorite daughter-in-law candidate, continuing the royal marriage route), Spain's aristocratic lady, Canadian and American supermodels, and even Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow.
The Spanish people were also worried about whether Felipe would have a son like a father, and the old king was as careless and scandalous as the old king. Unexpectedly, after Felipe and Letizia confirmed their relationship, they changed their style and became a good man and a good father.
His fiancée was exposed to indecent photos, and instead of breaking up or leaving it alone, he helped Letizia deal with the scandal.
After marriage, the couple unanimously showed a civilian style, and Letizia was responsible for the growth of her daughter throughout the whole process.
Princess Leonor was strictly required by her mother from an early age to be the "future queen", for example, for many children now, all kinds of electronic devices are commonplace. But Leonor couldn't, and her mother demanded that she have almost the same strict self-discipline as herself.
In order to control her manners and maintain her health, Letizia did not allow her daughter to touch all kinds of junk food such as fish and chips.
From the age of six, the little princess received a royal education without any dead ends, requiring the learning of at least four languages.
The Spanish people have a good feeling for the little princess's family, perhaps not only because of the simple appearance, but also because they show what the royal family should look like that the people expect - the parents are harmonious, the daughter is well-educated, the daughter is growing up well, the sisters are harmonious, and looking at the growing little princess, you will feel that "the royal family still has hope."
With such a goodwill value, even if the old king has been exposed to corruption, cheating, illegitimate children and other scandals, Felipe's second sister also embezzled public funds with her husband Dangarin, and was eventually stripped of the title of duchess, and the people still accepted the Spanish royal family's cutting of the two sides.
The old king abdicated and went abroad, saying that it was better to go to travel to relax, and that it was even difficult to hear that he was to evade investigation - after all, he was not a king, and he could no longer enjoy legal immunity.
To what extent is the scandal of the old King Juan Carlos I outrageous? In 2014, a man and a woman sent separate requests from Spain and Belgium to confess their relatives, claiming to be the illegitimate children of the old king of Spain, who ignored them.
The two were connected through the Internet and ran together to do DNA tests, and the probability of being half-siblings was 91%.
As soon as this result came out, it was equivalent to the two of them endorsing each other, and even if the old king pretended to be deaf and dumb, he could not escape the huge embarrassment.
Coupled with the scandal of his daughter and son-in-law, Juan Carlos I left the mess and ran away. As soon as Felipe VI ascended the throne, he began to clean up the mess, first announcing that he would renounce his inheritance rights, and then accompanied by the queen on various occasions to save the royal family's reputation bit by bit.
Fortunately, the family has made a lot of positive impressions over the years, and the people have gradually recognized the new king and queen.
By 2018, Felipe VI had awarded Princess Leonor the Crown Prince's exclusive Golden Fleece medal and ordered her head to be printed on the latest coin along with the king, when she was just 13 years old.
Earlier this year, the Spanish royal family unveiled a new message about Crown Princess Leonor – she is about to head to the Atlantic United World College in Wales, where she will take a two-year course in "International Studies".
As soon as the news came out, a Spanish reporter made a joke that the eldest princess was "exiled out of Spain like her grandfather."
This was a bit of a stretch, and the King's father was so upset that the Spanish public television broadcaster fired the reporter who had caused trouble almost immediately.
Even so, the media and newspapers did not let it go easily, accusing the tv broadcaster of maliciously linking Princess Leonor with King Carlos as "an attack".
It seems that both the King's father himself and the Spanish media have regarded Princess Leonor as the hope of the future queen and the Spanish royal family, and will not allow anyone to discredit her reputation.
