Since the Princess Eleanor (18 years old) will reach the age of majority on October 31 his fame has skyrocketed to the highest levels inside and outside our borders. The streets of Madrid were filled with curious people to protect the heir to the throne on a historic day like the Oath of the Constitution, the collectible objects were sold out in hours and her image wearing the historic necklace of the Order of Charles III made the headlines. the international press for days.
“I ask you to trust me (…) I will face my obligations with total dedication and unconditional dedication, always trying to grow as a person with the love and support of my family,” Leonor said in her speech. At that time her popularity skyrocketed to unsuspected limits. All the international media highlighted his professionalism, responsibility, temperance and know-how. Compliments that went beyond her obvious beauty and elegance. “The future of the Spanish monarchy is in good hands,” predicted the British media, who in turn highlighted the “good oratory” of the princess.
From that moment on, he has already spent eight intense months marked by his military training at the General Military Academy of Zaragoza, but in which his presence on the institutional agenda has also multiplied. Leonor debuted for the first time with her parents at the traditional Military Easter, she debuted in the kissing and, in addition, she alone presided over the awarding of the Title of Favorite Daughter of Aragon. All of this has been closely followed by the international press, who are already extolling her as the great princess of Europe after an “exceptional” year, marked by important achievements and institutional commitments.
The 3 key points that explain Leonor’s success outside our borders
Much of the blame for Leonor’s international success lies with her parents. Don Felipe and Doña Letizia have great weight outside our borders and that has dragged the heir to the throne and her sister to the top. So much Leonor and Sofía generate great interest and each public appearance is analyzed with a magnifying glass. Everyone wants to know more about them. To this we should add the work of the foreign media. The press has fallen in love with Leonor not only for reasons of style but also for her exquisite training and role within the Crown. That has helped (a lot) that the Princess of Asturias has become an international reference at the age of 18.
In addition to the media, its popularity is also evident on social networks, something very striking considering that it does not have an official Instagram or Tik Tok profile. The younger ones know who Leonor is and are satisfied that she will be the one who occupies the throne in the future.
Leonor gains popularity over Amalia from Holland, Elisabeth from Belgium or Christian from Denmark
Of all the crown princes, Leonor is the only one who has not yet performed in front of the members of royalty as Amalia of Holland, Elisabeth of Belgium, Ingrid of Norway, Christian of Denmark or little Estelle of Sweden have done. . Don Felipe and Doña Letizia have wanted it that way and that has caused a clear distance with all of them, with whom she does not have any type of relationship.
However, it seems that this has not affected its popularity too much. On the contrary, she has generated more interest around what she came to be defined as the ‘mysterious princess’ by the British press. The interest around Leonor is multiplying and we can’t wait to see the Princess of Asturias dressed in full length with her first tiara.
The key date that will mark the end of Leonor at the General Military Academy of Zaragoza
Last August, Leonor entered the General Military Academy of Zaragoza to begin her military training as a future Head of State. A step ahead of her in her institutional career that will extend the next three years in the Sea and Air Army.
After a very intense and unforgettable year, Leonor has already faced the final stretch with the final exams already done and immersed in the last maneuvers. The course will come to an end on June 19 with the traditional closing ceremony in which the presence of the kings is expected. A very special day since it coincides with the tenth anniversary of the Proclamation of Felipe VI.
However, it will not be until July 3 when Leonor says goodbye permanently to the Military Academy of Zaragoza. The Princess of Asturias is expected to participate with Don Felipe in the ceremony of handing over dispatches to the cadets, a historic image that will confirm her farewell to the AGM and with which she will officially take her title of Ensign of the Army . Then she will begin a more than well-deserved summer vacation.
