Palacio de la Zarzuela is left very worried after hearing sad news related to Princess Leonor. According to the evidence that has come to light, the young woman has been alone during one of the most important moments of her military career.
The future queen of Spain is about to close one of the most enriching and intense stages of her military training. In fact, this Wednesday, June 4, the daughter of the kings arrived in New York, the last stop of her journey aboard the training ship Juan Sebastián Elcano.
As has been confirmed, the ship docked at Pier 88 on the Hudson River at around 7:00 a.m. For Princess Leonor, this arrival has marked a turning point for her, as it is the final stretch of her experience.
Unlike her fellow midshipmen, the young woman will return to Spain by plane. However, she still has one last stage of training aboard the Navy frigate Blas de Lezo, with which she will officially complete her naval education.
During this desired last international stop, the midshipmen once again posed together on deck, as has been tradition in every port. To the rhythm of a pasodoble, they greeted the attendees who were waiting for them with enthusiasm in that city.
As expected, Princess Leonor was seen smiling and in good spirits, ready to fulfill the commitments awaiting her as part of the official agenda.
However, this event has had a bittersweet taste for the future queen of Spain. Despite the rumors that have circulated in recent days about Queen Sofía, no member of her family traveled to New York to welcome her.

The outcome of this stage has, nevertheless, been marked by great disappointment for Princess Leonor, since her parents couldn't travel to New York to welcome her. All of this is due to their respective commitments in Spain.
Meanwhile, King Felipe VI is busy with the visit of King Abdullah of Jordan, and Queen Letizia has chaired a meeting of the board of trustees of the Residencia de Estudiantes.
On the other hand, the desired reunion between Princess Leonor and her grandmother, Queen Sofía, couldn't take place either. Although her presence was expected to welcome the heir to the throne, the morning passed without that family and symbolic image.
In addition, for weeks there was speculation about a possible meeting between Princess Leonor and President Donald Trump, just as Felipe VI did with Ronald Reagan at the time. However, this desired meeting will ultimately not take place.
Despite this family absence, the young woman will have the opportunity to spend time with someone very close to the Royal Household during her stay in the Big Apple. This is Victoria de Hohenlohe, Duchess of Medinaceli, who has lived in New York since March with her husband Maxime Corneille.
