The Gallery of the Royal Collections, which was inaugurated by the kings in 2023 and houses authentic artistic treasures donated by several dynasties, including that of the Bourbons.
At the bottom of the wall, which is in the lower part of the imposing museum, cold and beautiful at the same time, the infanta has dared with her first official solo role. Very close to her sister, as has always been seen when they share actions, this time she has had to deal alone with what she assumes will be one of her tasks from now on. Serve your family in cultural, social or outreach events.
She was accompanied by a veritable court of peoplefrom National Heritage and from Zarzuela, as well as a large group of journalists and proud and decorated relatives of the people who have won this first edition of the awards that bear their name.

Dozens of candidates have been submitted to this first edition, whose works have been meticulously reviewed by a jury with personalities from the world of photography, like the photographer Sofía Moro, with thirty years of dedication, and one of the best portrait artists in Spain who has addressed some words of encouragement, a true love letter, to those who live behind a camera.
“There is no mbetter way to face the world than through photography, Moro has said. We look at the mu“in a unique and different way.” And he recalled that what has made this genre popular is the use of the camera. “Let’s take care of photography because it is part of our heritage.”

The second prize is a double ticket to a concert at the royal palace in Madrid with Antonio Stradivari’s Palatine Quartet.

In the absence of words from the infanta, the singer Marina Lledó and the violinist Delaney Stockli have served two musical themes uploaded on the wall, a fado and a song that included these lyrics: “Love you in the distance, I can see you when your photos I sit down to see. And in the stars your eyes see when I sit down to see your photos.”
Sofía has visited the exhibition with the winning images, which can be seen by the rest of the public until March 10.
