In months, the Princess Eleanor (18 years old) has become the heir to the fashionable throne. Neither Amalia from Holland, nor Christian from Denmark, nor Elisabeth from Belgium… everyone talks about Felipe and Letizia’s first-born, and we are not surprised.
Leonor has gained in security, presence, communication, and know-how. His charisma and freshness have crossed borders and now a path opens up ahead in which comparisons with their parents are continuous. So far, the Princess of Asturias has followed the roadmap set out by Don Felipe. After completing the International Baccalaureate at the UWC Atlantic College in Wales, Leonor began her military training at the General Military Academy in Zaragoza, studies that will extend until 2026 after her time in the Sea and Air Force.
Before moving to the Naval Academy of Marín next August, Leonor will face her well-deserved summer vacation. Holidays that, for the Spanish royal family, they spend at the Marivent Palace in Palma de Mallorca.
It is these “must-do” vacations on the Balearic island that has generated some fear around Princess Leonor. It is known to all that Mrs. Letizia is not passionate about Mallorca, but she has had to agree to spend part of the summer there for obvious reasons: Mr. Felipe loves Mallorca, he is passionate about participating in the sailing championship, reuniting with old friends and, furthermore, , like Kings of Spain, have to make regular use of their summer residence. But what about Leonor? Does she like Mallorca?
Leonor and Letizia in Palma de Mallorca
So far what we can know (or intuit) about Leonor’s connection with Mallorca is that it is her summer vacation spot since she was a child. Although the entire family has enjoyed international getaways away from the media spotlight, their days on the island are always special. However, statements from a source close to the princess to the ‘Confidential Monarchy’ portal would have revealed what the heir to the throne really thinks about her days on the Balearic island.
“He doesn’t want photos or being in Marivent. He prefers his private plans”, confesses said source to the aforementioned publication. Although she is aware of her position within the royal family, Leonor would like to keep that intimate plot away from the media spotlight, something that is impossible in Mallorca since photographers follow them every step they take outside the palace.
For the first time, Leonor will enjoy a few days of vacation without her parents. She so she published it Readings exclusively. The young woman does not want to lose contact with her new friends from the academy and They are already planning a getaway together for next July. Days of disconnection in which she will stop being a princess and simply be Leonor.
Princess Leonor’s hectic summer schedule: private vacations and four official events
At 18 years old, Leonor’s plans with her group of friends multiply. A few days ago, she surprised everyone at Jaca’s festivities. She walked through the fair and did not hesitate to ride the classic bumper cars, leaving some images that soon went viral.
Between plan and plan, Princess Leonor will have to face up to four official events. Next Wednesday, July 3, she will reappear in Zaragoza on the occasion of the delivery of dispatches. A very special act in which she will receive, from the hands of her father, the title of second lieutenant. The ceremony will be presided over by the kings, but it is still a mystery if Infanta Sofía will accompany them.
Their commitments do not stop there. On July 9 he will travel to Barcelona to preside over the Princess of Girona Awards. One day before the ceremony, Leonor and Sofía will take advantage of their stay in Barcelona to visit some corner as they did in previous years. An appearance with which the daughters of kings once again show their commitment to the Crown.
Just one day later, already in the company of Kings Felipe and Letizia, the heir to the throne will preside as every year at the central ceremony of the awards in the town of Lloret de Mar. A week later, specifically on July 16, Leonor will travel with Don Felipe and Doña Letizia to Pontevedra to visit the Naval Academy of Marín, a first contact before joining the rest of his colleagues on August 23.
