This weekend, Princess Leonor has once again shown her commitment during one of the most desired moments of her military training. The heir to the throne has put on her sports uniform again to participate in the 2025 Interacademies Championship. This event brings together the country's main military academies and this year is taking place at the Naval School of Marín.
Her presence has sparked great anticipation among both attendees and Casa Real, who have proudly followed every step of the young woman. The princess has confirmed once again what many already suspected: sports are an essential part of her life and her way of understanding leadership. What exactly has Leonor done to move King Felipe so much?
Princess Leonor shines at the 2025 Interacademies
The Interacademies Championship brings together young people from the General Military Academy (Zaragoza), the Naval Military School (Marín), and the General Air Academy (San Javier), as well as other training centers. For several days, they compete in disciplines such as track and field, swimming, shooting, sailing, or nautical competitions, depending on the host venue.
This 2025, the event has once again been special. Not only because of the participation of more than 400 cadets, but because it symbolizes the union between the three forces that in the future will be under Princess Leonor's command. Everything was ready for a reunion marked by emotion, camaraderie, and a clear message of personal growth.
Against this backdrop, Princess Leonor has confirmed what many expected: her genuine passion for sports. In the Interacademies Championship, the heir to the throne has shown herself to be enthusiastic, competitive, and fully integrated with her peers. According to the images released, she posed with other cadets in her sports uniform, actively participating in the combat events.
The competition's organization shared an image showing her equipped with the fencing suit, smiling and focused, alongside other peers from different academies. Leonor, who already won the silver medal in the previous edition, has once again shown her spirit of self-improvement and her ability to lead.
Throughout the week, there will be various swimming, soccer, sailing, and basketball events, although the princess will only participate in the combat ones. In addition, the cadets attend conferences on the importance of sports and healthy living, an aspect that Leonor has always defended.
King Felipe's pride in Princess Leonor's athletic participation
Beyond the sports field, Leonor's participation in the championship reinforces her institutional role within the Armed Forces. At just 19 years old, the Princess of Asturias has shown a maturity that has even surprised the most veteran commanders. Her presence in Marín is seen as a gesture of continuity with the work of King Felipe, who completed his training in the three military academies before being proclaimed king.
The monarch's pride is evident. Sources close to Casa Real indicate that King Felipe closely follows his daughter's progress and would be proud of her performance. The princess's enthusiasm in this competition represents for him a confirmation that Leonor is fully prepared to assume her future role with responsibility and passion.
This way, the Interacademies Championship has not only been a sports event, but a symbol of the personal and institutional growth of Princess Leonor. An experience that, without a doubt, has strengthened the image of the heir to the throne and has filled King Felipe with pride.
