Spanish Immigration Life: On October 12, 2015, local time in Madrid, Spain, King Felipe VI of Spain attended the National Day military parade with his family. Approximately 3,400 military and National Guard soldiers, 48 vehicles, and 53 aircraft participated in the parade. Princess Leonor and Princess Sofia attended the ceremony.
King Felipe VI of Spain was officially crowned, and 8-year-old Princess Leonor became a focal point of the coronation ceremony, currently the youngest heir in European royalty. Princess Leonor is the eldest daughter of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, and according to the Spanish Constitution regarding succession rights, Princess Leonor was declared the Princess of Asturias, the first heir to the Spanish throne, after her father ascended the throne. This means that Princess Leonor may become the Queen of Spain in the future.
According to the Spanish Constitution, the order of succession prioritizes male heirs over female heirs. If King Felipe VI has a son in the future, his first son will replace Princess Leonor as the Princess of Asturias. However, many analysts believe that King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia may not have any more heirs, making it highly likely that Princess Leonor will become the Queen of Spain.
Biographer Abecelona describes Princess Leonor as "very intelligent, calm, and active." Each time Princess Leonor appears in public, she wins more affection from the Spanish people.
At the coronation ceremony of King Felipe VI, Princess Leonor politely waved to the legislators and the public, behaving appropriately and elegantly, winning the affection of the people. Abecelona stated that Princess Leonor's image is beneficial for restoring the image of the Spanish royal family and gaining public support.
In addition, Abecelona revealed that Princess Leonor, like her peers, goes to school every day, participates in dance and etiquette classes, and studies English. Besides that, there is no special educational plan, but when she turns 18, she will receive military education to prepare for commanding the armed forces and will swear allegiance to the King of Spain and the Constitution before Congress.
