Marriage is not a requirement to becoming the Sovereign - marriage in most countries, however, can be a reason to be removed from the line of succession...
Nor did Vojthas suggest that Leonor was not going to be queen, she only suggested that Sofía could be Leonor's heir (so becoming queen AFTER not INSTEAD OF Leonor). This happened not that long ago (90's) in Belgium; and until very recently seemed a real possibility in Luxembourg. So, nobody doubts that the Spanish firstborn is the heir and it IS a real possibility that the heir might not have direct heirs (=children) of his/her own as we've seen in other monarchies.
