Dronning Letizia, som er æresformand for UNICEF i Spanien, overrakte i dag én af organisationens årlige priser til sin svigermor, dronning Sofia. Prisen er den såkaldte Joaquín Ruiz-Giménez-pris, som anerkender dronning Sofias engagement og arbejde i mere end fire årtier for de allermest sårbare, især børn.
Letizia overtog formandsposten i UNICEF sidste år, da hendes mand blev konge - inden da havde svigermor siddet på posten i 40 år. Begge dronninger holdt i øvrigt tale ved overrækkelsen, og så som altid ud til at nyde hinandens selskab.
En lille bid af Letizias tale:
"And, if you'll allow me, I would like to especially congratulate someone who for more than four decades has done valuable, silent, incredibly useful work with UNICEF Spain. I just handed her the Joaquín ruiz-Jiménez Award to Queen Sofía, my mother-in-law, and in my opinion the word mother-in-law has never sounded better, for dedicating her whole life to something as important as the welfare every children is entitled. Her work, effort, has been executed with dignity and soundness. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. You have set the bar very high for me."
Halløj for nogle sko! Wow!!
