The Kings will be in charge of presiding over the commemorative event from the box. It will be a moment full of meaning and will allow him to reconnect with all of his former colleagues, with whom he has a great relationship.

King Felipe VI will swear the flag again for the 40th anniversary
The monarch maintains great memories of everything he experienced during his military training. Hence, it is a source of pride to see the journey his daughter is taking right now. It was at Leonor’s swearing-in, on October 7, when King Felipe dedicated some very special words to her. “I know that you will always keep in mind that your responsibility, in any circumstance and at all times, is to serve Spain with all your energy and determination“, with true passion,” he said at that moment, stating the importance of the Jura. Therefore, next week, Felipe will experience one of the most emotional moments when he will be able to meet with the more than 200 classmates of the class and kiss, again, the flag. It is more than known that the King managed to forge a great, very close bond with his colleagues during his training. The monarch entered the AGM on September 1, 1985, at just 17 years old, and just one month later, on October 11, he was sworn in. Now, the monarch will once again star in this very special moment.
Although yes, it is worth noting that It is not the first time that the monarch renews the oath. It was in 2010, when he was still Prince of Asturias, when he swore the flag again for the 25th anniversary. However, this time It will be very different, since he will be able to do it under the watchful eye of his wife and daughter. Furthermore, this will be the third time that King Felipe VI and Princess Leonor coincide at an event at the General Military Academy of Zaragoza.
Princess Leonor faces the last quarter of the course
Princess Leonor is in the final stretch of the course. As we have learned, the exams they are just around the corner, since the season begins between May 11 and 24. After passing the exams, the instruction period must begin, which will begin on May 25 and will last until June 7, as confirmed by the official agenda of the General Military Academy of Zaragoza. The finishing touch to their training will come a few days later, on June 19, which will be when the closing ceremony takes place.
However, the course is not completely finished until the extraordinary exam sessions end, which will be on July 15. After this, the heir to the crown will be able to enjoy A well deserved vacation. Although Princess Leonor will have time to reunite with her parents and her sister, Infanta Sofía – who will finish the first year of the International Baccalaureate on June 14 – her vacation will not be extremely long either. Just one month later, in August, Princess Leonor will continue her training in the Navy Academy in Marín, Pontevedra.
