One year of military training and a special recognition from the king

The princess recently completed her first year of training in the Navy, following the same plan as her peers. During this time, she showed an exemplary attitude and met all academic and physical requirements.

In July, during the end-of-year ceremony, King Felipe VI awarded her the officer's saber, a traditional symbol that reflects her commitment and progress in her preparation. This act, although discreet, was highly significant for the Crown and the Armed Forces.

This recognition highlights Leonor's effort and her preparation to take on future responsibilities. Her training covers technical aspects, leadership, and institutional values, which are essential for her role as future Captain General.

New news about Princess Leonor

An official spokesperson for the Borbón family has confirmed a highly desired piece of news. Princess Leonor is now a student second lieutenant in the General Corps of the Air and Space Force. This statement puts an end to any previous speculation about her status within the Armed Forces.

The heiress has completed all the necessary administrative procedures and is formally enrolled to begin the next academic season. Her official entry into the General Air Academy in San Javier, Murcia, is scheduled for September 1.

The Royal Family emphasizes that this process has been carried out with complete normality and following the usual protocol. Leonor will advance in her aerospace training, in line with the plan designed for her preparation as future supreme leader.

In addition to her military training, Princess Leonor participates in cultural and social activities that complement her personal development. These experiences allow her to connect with different sectors of society and strengthen her role as a representative of the Crown. Her comprehensive preparation seeks to balance academic and military rigor with a sensitivity to the needs of citizens.

A key stage for her role as future queen

The official entry into the Air Force is an essential step in Leonor's comprehensive preparation. Her training is designed to provide her with technical knowledge, discipline, and leadership, which are essential for her institutional future.

This path, which includes the three military branches, follows the tradition started by King Felipe VI. The future queen is thus becoming familiar with the different military fields, consolidating her commitment to the Constitution and the Armed Forces.

Moreover, this stage strengthens Leonor's public image as a prepared and committed young woman. Her time at the General Air Academy represents a symbol of continuity and responsibility for the Spanish monarchy.
