If you watched video footage of this event, you'd notice that Letizia is always very conscious not to walk in front of the Queen or of Felipe. She's always stopping and letting them walk before her in order to keep protocol right

Not precisely . The Queen wanted to allow that the Princes should pass ahead, and they were they those who insisted in that she was ahead.
The same thing happened with the cars, the Queen placed in the second car instead of in the first one. The Queen knows that the protagonism in this act belongs to her son, whom now his wife accompanies; she is kept in the second plane.

I think it was just a warm caring gesture towards her daughter-in-law.

You are totally right and I share your opinion. It's a kind manifestation of the Queen to show that the main protagonists are the Princes theirselves for an exceptional act that are this Awards.

Even Letizia and Felipe don't want accept this derogation to a strict protocol, I find that the Queen is doing a very subtil indice of the recognition of a such importance of her son and his wife in their principality. It's fair and elegant, more in front of the detractors of Letizia, it's ( for me) a good sign of her very good links that she has with the Princess.

I'm very found of Queen Sofia

Absolutely! All us who watched the ceremony on TV could see that it was the Queen who was hanging on the arm of the Princess to enter along with her, so they could walk at the same level. The Princes however ended up insisting with the Queen to step ahead of them, as demanded by protocol.

I'm not sure about being clever or not, but it was not a comment, it was a question. There is no need for smart remarks. I have a right to ask a question...
