Spain bows to the queen of Hollywood and the country’s crown princess

Meryl Streep and Princess Leonor experience moments of glory in front of the press and the public

The last few days have been special for Spaniards who admire female strength. On October 20, Meryl Streep, 74, received the diploma of the Princess of Asturias Award from Crown Princess Leonor de Bórbon for the American actress’s contribution to art.

On Tuesday (31), Leonor herself was the center of attention on the day she turned 18. With adulthood came the oath to the Constitution to succeed her father, King Felipe VI, when her duty called him. “I ask you to trust me, because I have placed all my trust in our future, in the future of Spain,” she said.

Passing through Madrid and Oviedo, Meryl received one of the greatest public receptions of her career. At one point, she was surprised by the number of fans who poured into the streets to cheer her on. An unusual situation in your daily life in Los Angeles and New York.

In a meeting with theater students, the artist, winner of 3 Oscars and 4 Emmys, took the opportunity to criticize her country’s film industry and the greed of some professional colleagues. “You don’t do anything in Hollywood unless you think you’re going to make a lot of money.”

According to ‘El Pais’, the Spanish royal family was “charmed” by the star’s friendliness. “She IS adorable,” commented Queen Letizia, a former TV presenter. At one event, Princess Leonor was caught staring at Meryl Streep, as if she were a great example to follow.

There is enormous expectation about Leonor’s future. Spain has not had a queen regnant since 1868, when Isabella II was deposed. At the moment, there is only one queen on the planet who occupies the throne by right of succession: Margaret II of Denmark, 83 years old.
