TikTok is full of questions, answers, rumors, challenges, and all kinds of content. Often, creators decide to follow a specific strategy to go viral, but the platform shows them that the universe is whimsical and that, sometimes, a certain level of relevance is achieved unexpectedly.
This is the case of Noelia Méndez, a 20-year-old TikToker with over 69,000 followers on the video platform. The young woman has been working hard for a long time to gain presence on the web and grow “professionally.” However, she has complained that in many of her videos, people focus on her physical resemblance to Carla Vigo, niece of Queen Letizia and cousin of Princess Leonor.
The girl has decided to make a TikTok video about this issue, which is being approached with humor to clear up any doubts. “I'm Princess Leonor's cousin, I know you didn't recognize me with this new look with bangs,” she started saying in a comedic tone.
“I feel compelled to say this publicly now because 1 out of every 5 videos people ask me if I am Princess Leonor's cousin. No, I am not. I can understand if one, two, or three people say it, but it has reached the point where a quite well-known brand launched a campaign in which I was the face and half of the comments were 'Princess Leonor's cousin'”, she expressed shortly after to put an end to the gossip of many of her followers.

The young woman has taken the opportunity to make it clear that she has not participated in any Netflix project as an actress either, as many confuse her with the lead in the show Tú no eres especial.
As expected, the publication has garnered a great deal of media attention, and many users have amusingly commented on the post: “I thought Carla Vigo had a glow up,” “You look just like Carla Vigo,” “It would be great if you did a video together,” “Princess Leonor's cousin doesn't want to admit she's Princess Leonor's cousin,” etc.
The ultimate crossover
The video posted by the TikToker has gained so much attention that it has reached the other protagonist of the story, Carla Vigo, who has not hesitated to follow the content creator with whom she shares a more than evident physical resemblance.
“People, just got followed by Princess Leonor's cousin, this has gone too far lol,” wrote the young woman in a fun and playful comment on the video that already has over 770 likes.
