The queen of Spain wants New York City students to explore a new world.
Queen Letizia was deluged by questions from excited youngsters at Dos Puentes Elementary School in Washington Heights on Monday in her first official visit to New York as head of state.
“They asked ‘Do you have any children?’ ‘Where do you live in Spain?’ and ‘What was it like to be queen?’ ” said Principal Victoria Hunt. “She seems very pleased to be the queen.”
The queen celebrated the school’s membership into the International Spanish Academy, a network of about 100 schools across the United States and Canada that offer dual language programs that the queen urged them to explore.
Her Majesty hammed it up with one kindergarten student who said, “I cannot believe this.” Another managed to take an awkward selfie with the queen.
