The figure of Princess Leonor continues to generate great interest both within and beyond our borders. Since she reached the age of majority on October 31, 2023, the heir to the Spanish throne has intensified her public appearances. This is interpreted as a clear show of commitment to the institution she will one day lead.
Each event in which she participates reinforces her image as a well-prepared young woman, aware of the responsibility her role entails and close to the public.
Currently, Leonor is enjoying a well-deserved vacation, a brief break before facing the next major challenge in her training. September 1 is marked on the calendar as the date when Their Majesties' daughter will begin a new stage in her military training.
The German press have pointed to Princess Leonor by showing evidence from her latest appearances
However, beyond her institutional agenda, the Princess of Asturias has managed to create her own identity that doesn't go unnoticed by the international press. In each of her public appearances, Leonor surprises with a very carefully chosen style, able to balance classic sobriety with modern touches that connect with her generation. The same is true of the royal jewelry box, a collection of pieces that is gradually being enriched and holds symbolic value.
The German outlet Bunte has focused on this aspect, highlighting the choice of earrings the princess wore at the Princess of Girona Awards in 2022. Since then, Leonor has shown a clear evolution in her use of accessories, opting for different designs that, in the words of the aforementioned outlet, "underline the heir's role as a future queen," as they have stated in Germany.
In Germany, they see Princess Leonor as a simple and modern future queen
These observations are not coincidental. In Germany, where following royal families is common, it is interpreted that Leonor's style reflects the way she wants to present herself.
A future monarch who is simple yet modern, aware of the importance of tradition but open to new forms of representation. That combination of naturalness and modernity has been pointed out as one of her greatest successes.
Thus, what was an open secret is now confirmed. Leonor is making steady progress in her institutional and military training. Moreover, she is establishing herself as a style and approachability reference, traits that will undoubtedly shape the course of the Crown in the coming years.
