An unexpected announcement related to one of the members of the Spanish royal family has just come to light internationally. As has just emerged, in a few days, Queen Sofía is scheduled to travel to the United States, where she will take part in a very special and historic reunion.
Princess Leonor is about to complete one of the most significant stages of her military training: her time aboard the training ship Juan Sebastián de Elcano. Although the training cruise will not officially end in Cádiz until July 21, the heir to the throne will be absent for a few weeks.
According to confirmed information, the reason for her return to Spain is none other than to continue the demanding military training she has been following for almost two years. It should be noted that Queen Sofía's granddaughter has a schedule that is somewhat different from that of her peers.
While the other officers complete their training over longer periods, the future queen of Spain has had to condense all the knowledge she must acquire into three courses.
For this reason, in order to meet all the requirements of her second year, which is dedicated to the naval field, she must temporarily leave the training ship Juan Sebastián de Elcano.
Her departure is scheduled for June 5, when she will arrive in New York, collect her belongings, and return to Spain to spend a few days aboard a frigate.
However, this stop will not be like any other. To celebrate the symbolic end of this intense stage, all indications are that Princess Leonor will receive a special welcome. According to the latest rumors that have come to light, Queen Sofía will travel to the Big Apple to welcome her.
The possible reunion of Queen Sofía and Princess Leonor could become a historic event
If these rumors are true, this would be a historic event. It would be the first time Queen Sofía and the princess will have a reunion without the presence of the other members of the royal family.
In addition, as reported by Monarquía Confidencial, the royal family has decided to send part of Zarzuela's communications team to New York. This operation will include cameras, technicians, and communications managers to properly cover the event.
Sources close to Zarzuela have explained to the aforementioned media outlet that this deployment aims to "ensure effective communication, provide institutional images of the meeting, and strengthen the princess's international profile."
The transfer of the team to the United States will also bring another positive effect for Princess Leonor. In addition to her possible reunion with Queen Sofía, the young woman will see part of Zarzuela's communications team again.
The future queen of Spain keeps a close relationship with many of the professionals who work with her parents, which will make her welcome even warmer and more emotional.
After her stop in New York and subsequent training on the frigate, the princess will reunite with her peers at the beginning of July. She will do so in the city of Gijón, where she will board Elcano again to complete the final stages of the journey. The grand finale of this experience will take place on July 21 in Cádiz.
