It has been more than a week since the tenth anniversary of the reign of Felipe VI, but the foreign press continues to echo the brilliance of the Spanish crown. In this case, it was the German magazine Bunte which has dedicated one of its articles to the Princess Leonor.
Dressed in an elegant red suit, the heir to the throne was the faithful shadow of her father, appearing in tune with him at all times. There could be many facets to highlight of the Princess of Asturias. However, on this occasion, the German press has decided to praise something that not everyone is familiar with. royals Europeans can boast. “He surpasses all other members of royalty in his vocabulary and, with eight languagesoccupies first place in the ranking,” they explain.
The Princess perfectly dominates, in addition to the Castilian As is logical, the English. They have been trained in it since they were little, not only at the Santa María Los Rosales school where they studied until they were 16 years old, but also with their camps in the United States. Although Zarzuela never confirmed the exact location, it explained the intention that they receive “complementary training to their schooling in Spain in an environment of cultural exchange with girls and boys of different nationalities.”
Furthermore, his two-year journey through UWC Atlantic College It has allowed him to speak the language with complete fluency and defend himself both in public and privately in it.
As if that were not enough, the Kings ruled when they were young that their daughters would receive education in all the official languages of the State: Catalan, Basque and Galician. At the 2019 Princess of Gerona Awards, a young 14-year-old Leonor dared to give a speech in Catalan to those present.
In this speech, which was also his debut speaking in public, he showed courage and launched into speaking in Arab. It was to address one of the award winners, the lawyer and psychologist Maria Jammal, who was honored for her “excellent work as co-founder and executive director of the organization Humanity Crew “which makes visible the mental health problems that refugees suffer from and creates solutions for them.”

His interest in languages has also led him to take classes in mandarin chinese, of the one who has basic notions, and French, which he masters fluently. All of this demonstrates the Princess’s commitment to her education and her country. “Perhaps because she knows very well that one day they will be very useful to her,” the magazine clarifies. «Leonor of Spain is already meeting important people from all over the world and in the role of Queen of her, one day it will be an advantage to be able to confidently master so many languages.»
Something that in German words also knows the Queen Silviawho is ranked directly behind the Princess, speaking six languages. “It should not be forgotten that she is a trained interpreter.” A job, which the magazine ventures to think could attract the Princess if her destiny as future Queen had not been decided from the cradle. However, in all probability she will follow her father’s path and study law at university. Of course, once she completes her military training at the Navy in Marin (Pontevedra) and in the San Javier Air Academyin Murcia.
