After months of keeping a low profile and focusing on her training, Princess Leonor has made an important decision for her future. The young woman, 19 years old, has asked King Felipe VI for permission, and all indications are that her role in Casa Real will change soon.
Until now, her absence from official events has raised some questions. Her military training has been the priority, so her public visibility has been limited. That time is coming to an end, and Leonor is ready to begin a new stage as heir.
A complete and demanding training
Leonor is finishing her military training, a three-year stage that she has spent in Army, Navy, and Air Force academies. She has lived with discipline, practical training, and direct contact with her peers. Casa Real has insisted that she has been treated like any other cadet, without privileges.
The princess has been in Zaragoza, Marín, and now San Javier, completing each phase of her training. She has participated in maneuvers, training sessions, and activities specific to the three branches of the military. Her performance has been evaluated very positively by her superiors.
This process has been key to preparing her as a future head of state. The military training aims to instill values such as responsibility, effort, and teamwork. All of this will be essential in her role as queen in the future.
A clear decision: design her own agenda
Princess Leonor has informed her father of her desire to design her own institutional agenda once she finishes her training. This means that, although she will continue to appear at specific events, her public visibility will remain limited for now. Her priority is still to prepare well for the position she will assume one day.
For this reason, she has not been present at the fires or other recent events of national relevance. This is not an absence due to lack of interest, but a planned decision by Casa Real. The aim is to avoid overexposure and keep the focus on her preparation.
The agenda that Princess Leonor will design will include a series of institutional events, visits to different organizations, and official representation of the Crown. All of this has as its main objective to introduce her gradually and progressively to her future duties as heir to the throne of Spain. The king believes that this process must be solid and firm, respecting his daughter's learning and maturity times.
A path that Leonor follows with determination
Leonor is aware of the responsibility her role entails and wants to do it well. That's why every step she takes is guided by prudence and commitment. She doesn't want to make headlines for appearing more, but for being prepared.
Those around her say that she feels motivated and eager to take on more responsibilities little by little. She is also clear that she doesn't want to rush. Casa Real supports this calm and mature attitude.
In the coming months, we will see a more present Leonor, although in a controlled way. She will participate in key events, especially when she finishes her military stage. Meanwhile, she continues training as the future queen of Spain.
