On May 4, local time, Princess Leonor of Spain appeared in an important ceremony to celebrate the 40th anniversary of her promotion to the Military Academy of Zaragoza by her royal father Felipe VI.
The 18-year-old Leonor is currently part of the Military Academy in Zaragoza, which is also a "compulsory course" in her life as the future queen of Spain. After a year of training in Zaragoza, she went to study at two other military academies. After completing three years of military training, Leonore will go to university, but it is not known which university, but it is likely that he will study law.
Leonor, dressed in a dark blue dress, stood in the middle of the line very intently. Although she is the crown prince, Leonor did not stand prominently, according to Spanish media reports, she was placed in the fourth row along with her classmates.
The same military dress was worn on King Felipe's body.
Prince Felipe, then 17, took the oath on the playground of the Military Academy in Zaragoza and subsequently began his nearly 30 years of military service until he succeeded to the throne in 2014.
During that long military career, Felipe rose through the ranks, first to lieutenant colonel in the army, then to captain of a frigate in the navy, and in 2009 to lieutenant colonel in the air force, and finally after inheriting the throne, he was appointed commander-in-chief of the entire Spanish army.
And when Leonor ascends to the throne one day, she will also become the commander-in-chief of the Spanish army.
The 56-year-old King Felipe, despite his gray hair and beard, is still dignified, and he looks very imposing when he walks in front of the queue waiting for the review.
After reviewing the procession, Felipe took off his military cap and kissed the Spanish flag. This scene is the same as 40 years ago, he was the first of all to take the oath.
Like her father, Leonor kissed the flag afterwards, but she was not the first of her classmates and seemed to deliberately downplay her identity.
Leonor will leave the Academy of Zaragoza in mid-July, when she will be promoted to second lieutenant. After the summer vacation, she will enter the Marin Military Naval School as a midshipman.
Although Leonor is a beautiful girl, because she was born with an identity, she has become a copy of her father, and she is still relatively strict, and at the same time strict with herself. Amalia, the 20-year-old Dutch princess, is more constrained than the 20-year-old Dutch princess who has been promised that she can give up the throne at any time if she is not happy, but on another level, she also understands the importance of responsibility, and princesses are not synonymous with pampering.
After the ceremony, Leonor took a group photo with his parents, and the family of three looked happy. The 52-year-old Queen Letizia showed her affection for her daughter and hugged Leonor's waist tightly.
During his time in Zaragoza, Leonore lived on campus and rarely went home, while her sister Princess Sophia went to school in Wales, England, so that the king and queen, who are over half a hundred years old, are now almost "empty nesters", of course, this is not entirely true, after all, the couple still have to "go to work" and do not spend a lot of time at home.
It is worth noting that Letizia, who prefers to wear high heels, chose a "kitten heel" with a very short heel this time, which makes it difficult to narrow the height gap between her and her husband.
However, this is also a helpless move, and Spanish media analysis believes that this is because Queen Morton neuroma has flare-up again, causing her feet to ache when walking, and she has to abandon her high heels for some relief.
