September 1 marks a turning point for Princess Leonor. She begins her final stage at the General Air and Space Academy in San Javier, Murcia—and it won’t be easy. There, the heir to the throne will face a strict schedule and military discipline identical to that of any cadet, leaving behind the comforts of the palace and the privileges of royal life. Princess Leonor at the Air Force Academy Her day begins with reveille at 6:30 a.m. After washing up and breakfast, classes start at 7:40 and run until 3:00 p.m., with a short break mid-morning. In the afternoon, from…

In Stockholm, the Nordic Unleashed summit wasn’t just about innovation and the future; there was also room for a moment of style that many of us had been waiting for. Crown Princess Victoria appeared in a sober yet feminine look, designed to fit in at a forum of leaders without losing any of her identity. Princess Victoria in floral ByTiMo dress The centerpiece was a blue floral dress by Norwegian brand ByTiMo, a choice that connects her with contemporary Scandinavian fashion. The midi cut in organza revealed a delicate silhouette, but what was interesting was how she balanced it: over…

There are gestures that, although intended to be intimate, end up causing quite a stir. That is what happened with Prince Harry’s secret tribute to his grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh. A friend of Harry’s placed a personal letter and a wreath of poppies at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire as a tribute to Philip’s service during the Pacific campaign in World War II. Up to that point, it seemed like a private gesture, but within days, the detail was already on television. The Duke of Sussex’s letter was not without emotion. He recalled that his grandfather had served…

Among the more than 4,000 speeches available on the Royal Household’s official website, there is one that has just been given a special place: the speech given by Princess Leonor at the 2021 Princess of Asturias Awards. This is no minor gesture, because in that enormous collection of speeches, most of them are by King Felipe VI. And yet, Zarzuela wanted to highlight the words of an heiress who was only 15 years old at the time. Leonor’s speech at the 2021 Princess of Asturias Awards That day, at the Campoamor Theater in Oviedo, the princess surprised everyone with her…

Who would have thought that one of the brands most associated with Princess Kate would end up bankrupt? I’m talking about Seraphine, the maternity wear brand that the Princess of Wales turned into a global phenomenon simply by wearing some of its dresses during her three pregnancies. Seraphine, Kate Middleton’s maternity brand It wasn’t paid advertising, or a campaign, or anything like that. Kate chose their designs because she liked them, and the effect was immediate. Seraphine knew how to market itself as the brand that accompanied women through the most special transition of their lives: pregnancy. Its message was…

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, once again displayed her characteristic relaxed elegance during her meeting with James “Jim” Wren, a Royal Marines veteran who has just turned 105. The historic and emotional meeting took place in Salisbury, where she wore a floral print dress by Lexy London, a choice that demonstrates her taste for fresh, feminine pieces without being ostentatious. She paired the light, flowing dress with wedge espadrilles by Penelope Chilvers. Sophie often wears this style of shoe, and it’s easy to see why: they are comfortable, summery, and timeless. The accessories added a subtle touch of sparkle. She wore…

Princess Leonor is about to start a new chapter in her life, and she will do so in San Javier, Murcia. After spending a family summer between Mallorca and Greece, the heir to the Spanish throne will have to settle into the General Air and Space Academy, where she will begin the final stage of her military training. As in her previous military training, Leonor will live, study, and train under the same discipline as the rest of her classmates. After Zaragoza and Marín, where she learned on land and sea—she swore allegiance to the flag and sailed on the…

Since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced their new deal with Netflix, comparisons with Kate Middleton have been quick to surface. The funny thing is that Meghan is reportedly “furious” with those who accuse her of copying her sister-in-law. The controversy stems mainly from Meghan’s new Christmas special, which will be part of her series With Love, and some see it as an attempt to rival Kate’s traditional Christmas event at Westminster Abbey. An insider explains that Meghan considers this criticism unfair: “Kate doesn’t ‘own’ Christmas. There are always going to be comparisons, but Meghan has a business that she…

Royal moves always generate conversation, and William and Kate’s latest decision is no exception. We recently reported that the Waleses had their sights set on Fort Belvedere, a large house with 59 acres of lawns, gardens, stables, lakes, and even a tennis court. But now, there are other plans, and the entire British press is talking about it. Prince William and Kate’s move After two years at Adelaide Cottage, the couple has set their sights on Forest Lodge, a $21 million property within Windsor Great Park. This eight-bedroom house, with privacy enhanced by bushes and renovations underway, suggests that the…

After more than a month without an official agenda, Queen Mary reappeared in Tårnby with a look that perfectly sums up her style: elegant, relaxed, and practical. The occasion called for it: the inauguration of a new Headspace Center, a space designed to support young people aged 12 to 25 with mental health issues. What was interesting here was not only the event itself, but how Mary chose to present herself. She opted for a striped Polo Ralph Lauren suit with a belt at the waist that softened the formality of the outfit. These types of pieces are a classic…

Every summer, the same question arises: where are Leonor and Sofía when their parents disappear from the public eye? This time, the mystery is even greater. We know that Felipe and Letizia headed to Greece after their visit to Palma, but the curious thing is that there is not a single official clue about the princesses. No photos, no press releases, no casual references. Absolute silence. The most widely discussed theory is that the entire family has been staying at the villa of Máxima and Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands in Spetses. It is a luxury home with a swimming pool,…

I confess that Princess Leonor will not exactly have a quiet year. On September 1, she will begin her training at the General Air Academy, at the San Javier base in Murcia, to complete the final stage of her military training. Leonor arrives at this stage after a very family-oriented summer and an intense second year, which included her voyage on the training ship Juan Sebastián de Elcano and official events such as the Princess of Girona Awards. In San Javier, she will follow a curriculum adapted to her special schedule, as her time at each academy is shorter than…
