Princess Leonor Faces a New Challenge at University

Princess Leonor’s arrival at the Carlos III University of Getafe marks a significant change in her life. Up until now, much of her education has taken place in settings where her privacy was tightly controlled, from the Santa María de los Rosales school to UWC Atlantic College in Wales, and later at military academies. Now she will have to navigate a public campus alongside thousands of students, and her presence, whether we like it or not, sparks a lot of curiosity. And here lies one of the major challenges of this new phase. Cell phones with cameras are a part…

Princess Ariane of the Netherlands has just embarked on a very different chapter within the royal family.

How did Princess Ariane dress for her first day of college? For her arrival on campus, Ariane opted for a style that fits the university atmosphere perfectly. She wore striped pants, a white Twinset shirt with draped details, and her Adidas Originals Handball Spezial. She rounded…

Queen Mary Stuns in Chic Wide-Leg Jeans and Blazer

Queen Mary of Denmark has resumed her official duties with a style that feels very much like her. For her visit to Momentet, a psychiatric residence for adults aged 18 to 35, she set aside flashy dresses and opted for a more understated look, wearing wide-leg jeans, a Victorian-style blouse, and a brown blazer with defined shoulders. The outfit conveyed a working-girl vibe that works so well when the occasion calls for the clothes to take a back seat. Mary paired the Britt Sisseck pants and the M.A.B.E blouse with a Prada belt and her leopard-print ballet flats, adding a…

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

The dispute over Prince Harry’s immigration documents in the United States is still far from over. The State Department has fully withheld an initial set of 18 files pertaining to the Duke of Sussex, while it continues to review an additional 289 documents that are part of the same request. In total, the authorities have 307 documents in their possession, amounting to 2,487 pages. The case originated from a request for information filed by the Heritage Foundation, which sought records related to Harry’s visa and his past drug use. The group argued that the prince may have had to disclose…

Princess Leonor and Sofia

Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía are about to embark on very different paths, but one thing seems to remain unchanged between them: their bond. During their final days together in Mallorca, the daughters of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia once again demonstrated the closeness that has defined their relationship since childhood, just before their academic paths diverge again. The difference between their futures is clear. Leonor is destined to become Queen of Spain, and every step of her education is tied to that responsibility. Sofía, on the other hand, has more freedom to choose her own path. Even so,…

Queen Letizia, Leonor and Sofia Visit Casa Esment in Mallorca

Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor, and Infanta Sofía made a unique visit during their stay in Mallorca. Away from official events and without media presence, the three visited Casa Esment in Palma to learn firsthand about the work this foundation has been doing since 1962 to support people with intellectual disabilities and their families. The focus of the visit was the organization’s printing press, a space that for decades has served as a place for training and employment for its users. There, they learned about the printing, binding, and graphic design processes, and discovered the effort behind a project that combines…

Princess Leonor's New Look Turns Heads in Mallorca

If there was one detail that caught everyone’s eye at the Marivent reception, it was Princess Leonor’s new look. We’re used to seeing her with straight hair at most of her official events, but this time she showed up with curly hair and a much more casual style. I think that gesture completely transformed her presence, and it ended up being the real highlight of the evening. Her style also marked a change from last summer. Leonor wore the pleated top with soft print from Thinking Mu that she had already worn to the Bad Bunny concert, but this time…

Spanish Royal Family at the Marivent Palace Reception

Once again, the Marivent Palace served as the grand summer stage for the Spanish royal family. As is tradition, King Felipe and Queen Letizia hosted a reception for representatives of Balearic society, an event that this year brought together around 623 guests. But there was undoubtedly one image that many were hoping to see. That of Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia alongside their parents during their first public appearance in Mallorca. Although the queen and her daughters had already been on the island for several days, they had kept a very low profile. Therefore, this event marked their long-awaited official…

Princess Amalia's Style in Amsterdam

Princess Amalia returned to Amsterdam, and that in itself is significant. The city where she had to leave her university life in 2023 due to threats from the mafia welcomed her this time in a very different context: a two-day official visit at the invitation of Mayor Femke Halsema, with an agenda packed with technology, sustainability, and nightlife. For her first appearance, she chose a burgundy three-piece suit by Mango, the same ensemble she wore at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Milano-Cortina. A complete, three-piece suit with an oversized silhouette and a flowing cut, with the tailored…

Infanta Sofia Meets Up With Her Friends in Madrid

The Easter holidays gave Infanta Sofía something that life in Lisbon does not often allow: time with her family. From Good Friday, when she appeared with her parents and sister in a procession in Carabanchel, through the weekend, the Infanta had several days to take a break from university and reconnect with the friends she has seen less and less since moving to Portugal to study. Photographers caught her visiting her old school, the same institution where King Felipe and Princess Leonor studied before her. The photo ended up on the front page of Diez Minutos, and beyond the anecdote…
