For about a year now, the role of Princess Leonor (18 years old) has not stopped evolvingFrom being an absent heir to the throne, focused on her studies and very protected by her parents, to being one of the most active and visible members of the Spanish Royal House. We are already starting to see it at the end of 2023. when she was the total protagonist of the Princess of Asturias Awards or the ‘Leonormania’ that was generated after his oath to the Constitution upon reaching the age of majority.
This year has continued in the same line with events very important as a future queensome of them linked to his training at the General Military Academy of Zaragoza and others in tribute to King Felipe VI for his tenth anniversary. And now comes another first time as a princess for Leonor: her first official international trip.
This morning the government of the neighboring country confirmed that Letizia’s daughter (51 years old) will travel to Lisbon on July 12, where he will meet with President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa at the Belém Palace. She will not be alone, since José Manuel Albares, Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation.
The reason for this tripwhich will last only one day, is to analyze and learn about environmental protection and the conversation about the oceans in a meeting with other young Spaniards who live in the capital of Portugal. This milestone has not gone unnoticed for the Portuguese press that has valued Leonor before her arrival.
The Portuguese press evaluates Princess Leonor before her first trip
“The Princess of Asturias will visit Portugal on July 12, announced today the Presidency of the Portuguese Republic, highlighting that it is the first official trip abroad of the eldest daughter of the King of Spain, Felipe VI”, begins the media ‘Espresso’ about the visit of the Spanish heiress.
Immediately after, the aforementioned publication explained that this visit was due to an “invitation from the President of the Republic” and that the theme of the visit was due to the fact that they are “priority issues for Portugal and Spain”. And, finally, they have made it clear that “the choice of Portugal as the destination for the first official trip abroad of Her Royal Highness the Princess of Asturias reflects and reinforces the bonds of brotherhood and closeness that unite to both countries,” he said.
The question that the Portuguese media asked about Princess Leonor
This is not the first time that Princess Leonor appears in the Portuguese press. Some time ago, the same medium mentioned above dedicated a cover to the sister of Infanta Sofía. With a large photograph of Leonor, the weekly titled this special with a key question: “Leonor de Borbón: “Will she be able to save the Spanish monarchy?”
This number came to light when the young woman had just graduated from the International Baccalaureate at UWC Atlantic College as a way of paying tribute to her journey as an heir and as a preview of all the challenges that lay ahead in 2023. In fact, it was mentioned that he started at the General Military Academy of Zaragoza and how he should swear by the Constitution. “The union of the peoples of Spain will depend on it”the publication noted.
The security breach at Zarzuela: previously unseen images of Leonor come to light
This news comes to light after some images of Princess Leonor enjoying the Jaca fair with her classmates from the General Military Academy of Zaragoza have come to light. It is not the only thing that has emerged from the private life of the heir to the throne in recent months. For example, we also knew the surprise plan that his friends prepared for him to celebrate his birthday in a hamburger restaurant in Zaragoza. Or, more recently, the vacation that Queen Sofia’s granddaughter could be planning with her friends.
The fact that these snapshots have been seen over the weeks seems to indicate that a security breach could occur in the Zarzuela Palace, without filtering these images… Or it could be a part of a strategy designed down to the last detail. We cannot know for a moment, but what is clear is that, if this continues, we will be able to find out more and more details about the young woman’s private life.
