Life of Princess Leonor
In May 2014, Leonor made her first official visit to the San Javier Air Force Base in Murcia. Leonor’s father, King Felipe VI, ascended to the throne on June 19, 2014, at midnight, following King Juan Carlos’ signing of the Abdication Act on June 18, 2014. Leonor subsequently became the Princess of Asturias and the presumptive heir.
In October 2014, a waxen duplicate of Leonor was revealed in the Museo de Cera in Madrid. On May 20, 2015, Leonor received her First Communion in the Catholic tradition.
The oldest of Felipe’s two daughters, Leonor, is the first in line to succeed in the Spanish monarchy under a system of male-preference cognatic primogeniture, as stipulated by the 1975 Spanish constitution.
However, if her father produced a legal son while still king, Leonor would no longer be in the line of succession and would once more become an infanta of Spain.
Talks about changing the succession rule to absolute primogeniture—which would have given the eldest child the right to inherit regardless of gender—were shelved when Leonor and her younger sister Sofía were born.
For Spanish titles of nobility, absolute primogeniture took the role of male preference in 2009. However, as of 2023, no legislation relevant to the succession to the king have been adopted.
The day before she turned ten, her father presented her with the Order of the Golden Fleece. The design of her personal standard and guidon was also approved by the Council of Ministers.
To commemorate King Felipe’s fiftieth birthday, the King gave Leonor the Golden Fleece collar in a solemn ceremony that took place in January 2018 at the Royal Palace of Madrid.
In September 2018, Leonor made her first public appearance outside of the palace when she travelled to Covadonga with her parents to celebrate the 1,300th anniversary of the Kingdom of Asturias.
On October 31, 2018, Leonor gave her first speech in public, reciting the first section of the Spanish Constitution at the Instituto Cervantes in Madrid.
On November 4, 2019, in Barcelona, she made her stage debut speaking in Arabic, Spanish, Catalan, and English at the Princess of Girona Foundation awards.
On March 24, 2021, she attended a gathering honouring the Instituto Cervantes’ 30th anniversary, marking her first solo public event.
On July 16, 2022, she embarked on her first official international trip. Without the presence of her parents, she completed the task with the assistance of her younger sister, Infanta Sofía.
Together, they attended the Spain vs. Denmark match at the UEFA Women’s Euro 2022. Leonor got to know young volunteers from The Red Cross Youth, the organization’s youth division, when she paid a visit to the Spanish Red Cross headquarters in Madrid in December 2022.
On October 7, 2023, Leonor swore allegiance to the Spanish Flag at the Zaragoza General Military Academy.
On October 31, 2023, the day of her eighteenth birthday, the Princess swore an oath in front of the Spanish Parliament, as required by the Spanish Constitution. After taking her oath, she was granted the rank of Knight Grand Cross with Collar of the Order of Charles III by King Felipe in the Royal Palace in Madrid.
