The problem is nepotism with private companies. Sofia did not have relationship with this company before her daughter worked for them, now she delivers their prizes and they support her private foundation.
The Royal Family has been participating in the regatta for decades, so there is no direct link (although Elena now navigates when she has not done so for years). There were always criticisms when members of the Royal Family sailed on boats sponsored by companies, and when Juan Carlos wore the logo of La Caixa. Felipe sometimes sailed on a boat from his Olympic friends that was sponsored, but he avoided wearing the logos... and for years he only participates in the ship of the Spanish Navy that is public.
