At the ceremony of the Princess of Asturias Awards, scheduled for October 16, changes course and format to have a very small capacity due to the health crisis of the coronavirus. The Princesa de Asturias Foundation has sent a statement in which it has advanced that the delivery will be predictably transferred from the Teatro Campoamor in Oviedo.

Some of the events such as the concert, lunch and the reception for the awardees are also cancelled.
The Prize for the Exemplary People of Asturias will take place but in a different format than usual.

Like most events this year the 2020 Princess of Asturias Awards will seem very strange compared to other years.

Is it sensible to have an in-person awards ceremony considering the current pandemic situation in Spain?

I must say, everyone looked great. So nice to see Pss Leonor wearing heels, lovely dresses. The Pss's are really growing up. Infanta Sofia looks very nice in green. No more little girls ,watch out there are two stunning looking young Ladies on the horizon. Both Queens are very elegant as always.
 
Leonor is increasingly comfortable in his speeches. I noticed a great evolution from last year's speech to today's speech.
Queens, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia were very elegant. King Felipe VI did very well, as usual.
Of her generation, Leonor is perhaps the heiress who is being better prepared.

Speech by Princess Leonor:

I was surprised to see Queen Sofia in attendance too. Did she attend this event before after her son's accession?

Sofia has always attended this event, from the very beginning.

Yes, Queen Sofia attended this event when her son was Prince of Asturias.
 
Nice to see everyone there despite the current global situation. I agree that Leonor seems to be getting more comfortable with speeches now - I noticed there was a stumble at one point but she seemed a lot more at ease on the podium. With more experience and time she will make a very refined public speaker - she already has a professional air about her! Felipe and Letizia should be very proud.
When the cameras zoomed in on Sofia I thought she bared a slight resemblance to Letizia around the eyes, which is something I've not noticed before.

I would say she stumbled a couple of times and looked a little nervous often running words. But she is just 14, turning 15 in two weeks.

Being a small royal family in a relatively big country, the Spanish royals have a very busy agenda. And I don't recall other teenage royals taking part in so many official public events as Leonor at such a young age. She is definitely under greater strain than her peers in other monarchies in addition to the normal complications of growing up, going to school, dating boys, etc. It is a privileged position no doubt, but not without a burden.

Leonor did a fantastic job. Letizia as a former journalist has no doubt given her lessons on voice modulation, intonation, making eye contact...etc.

I think the only other comparable counterpart is the Duchess of Brabant. She was giving speeches at 9 years old in Dutch. This unifying gesture significant as Dutch/Flemish Beligium tends to be stand-offish towards the monarchy.
The more stable and supported the monarchy the less pressure on teenage heirs.
