The Spanish royal family once again grabbed national and international headlines for the behavior of one of the infantas, which many describe as disrespectful.

The Infanta Sofía and Queen Letizia, who had differences with his mother Queen Sofia, were the protagonists of the incident has been reported that the Spanish press, but has been echoed even in America. This, because a video that has gone viral shows when Queen Letizia receives a “slap” from her daughter in public. So they have reviewed the gesture of the girl.

While posing for the press on her already traditional vacation in Mallorca, specifically at the Almudaina Palace, the Infanta Sofía placed her hand on her forehead because she could not see in the sun. Queen Letizia takes the girl's arm as if to lower it. Then, the teenager reacts by abruptly pulling out her arm, slapping her hand, as if in discontent. Many viewed the gesture as an act of rebellion or a child-parenting nurture towards her mother. The girl even makes a face and looks back to where her mother is.

King Philip reacts only by looking at them both. It is not really clear whether the king of the Spanish crown came to realize what happened entirely or only saw his daughter react. This is not the first time that an infant puts out her hand in discontent when one of the people in her family takes her by the arm. Infanta Leonor made a similar gesture to her grandmother, who took out Dona Sofía's hand; action that was widely criticized and generated many memes.
