Princess Leonor is about to complete another stage of her military training. In the coming hours, she will leave the Blas de Lezo frigate, where the future queen has spent several weeks. This has been a new step in her second year of military training.
Leonor returned from New York in early June, the last stop of her trip with Elcano. Shortly after, she boarded the Blas de Lezo frigate. This new stage has been more discreet, but also very demanding.
Since then, everything has proceeded discreetly. Her time on the frigate has been very private. In fact, no images were released during her stay, except for the day she boarded.
Princess Leonor's privacy is a priority for the royal family
The difference with Elcano has been notable, since many images were shared during that trip. She was seen in ports, events, and meetings. However, this time, that hasn't happened.
The stop in Ceuta was an exception. Some details are known, but there was no official coverage, as no images were published. Blas de Lezo's journey went almost unnoticed.
A few days before this stage ends, the Royal Household decided to share new photos. In them, Leonor appears in uniform, with braided hair, and very integrated, showing a focused and natural attitude.
Images that show her involvement
Through the images, one can see the princess participating in maneuvers, receiving instructions, or attending theoretical sessions like any other. Princess Leonor has followed the same program as the rest of the students, working normally and without special privileges. Through these images, the aim is to reflect the princess's commitment to her military preparation.
The Royal Household has shared the photos just a few hours before Leonor leaves the frigate. With them, they once again highlight her involvement in the essential military training as a future commander of the Armed Forces. The decision was made at the last minute, just before she returns to Elcano.
This coming Thursday, July 3, Leonor will return to Juan Sebastián de Elcano. The ship will arrive in Gijón, Asturias, and there she will reunite with her former classmates. It will be a final stage of living together.
In a few days, Elcano will dock in Galicia and with that event, the princess will say goodbye to the course, preparing for her third year of military training. After the official end of this stage, Leonor will be able to rest. She will spend part of the summer in Mallorca, although she might also travel to a private destination with her family.
Princess Leonor prepares for her third year
In August, she will begin her final year of military training and will enter the General Air and Space Academy in San Javier, Murcia. This will be the end of her military cycle.
It should be remembered that in 2023 she started at the General Military Academy of Zaragoza. After that, she went through the Naval Military School of Marín. Now it will be the turn of the Air and Space Force.
With this journey, she will have completed her time in the three branches: Army, Navy, and Air Force. A training designed for her future role as supreme commander of the Armed Forces.
In addition to her training, the princess continues with her official agenda. Next Wednesday, July 23, she will be at the Princess of Girona Awards, one of her most important events of the summer.
At these events, Leonor usually shows warmth and confidence. Her public image has evolved naturally, highlighting the commitment and maturity with which she takes on her responsibilities.
Both inside and outside Spain, her figure commands respect and the heiress continues to fulfill what is expected. Every step she takes confirms her preparation for the future. Her attitude in these stages has proved that she takes her role seriously and that she is willing to take it on with responsibility.
