Leonor doesn't make speeches only. She also gives awards and engages with the winners (as seen last year during the ceremony of Felipe's 5th anniversary as a monarch).
Moreover, the visits to exemplary villages such as Asiegu and Somao, shows Leonor engaging with the people. This summer at Mallorca, Leonor and Sofia participated in two acts, one of them with young people. They are seen interacting with the teenagers at the event. So, not that very different from what Amalia does at King's day (which by the way, it's the only time in a whole year, on which she engages with the dutch people, since Lech and the Summer photosession are just for photos).
Don't get me wrong. I love Amalia and the sisters. I've been following them for a long long time. We are just discussing the appearances of the young heirs in an official manner, which to me, shows that Amalia lacks in that department. I do respect WA and Maxima's choice to let their girls focus on school only. But I do believe Amalia will get a harder time, or maybe a longer time, in learning the official aspects required for her role as crown princess.
It's the same as learning a language. If you learn it as child, you will learn it faster. But, if you learn it as an adult, it's possible but it will take a longer time to perfect it. This is what I mean. And I don't doubt that Amalia will be a great Queen too, but her education as crown princess with be harder for her than it is/has been for Elisabeth and Leonor.
