There is something about the Mallorcan summer that brings out the most relaxed and radiant version of Princess Leonor. This time was no different. In her first appearance at the traditional reception at the Marivent Palace—an event that until now had been reserved only for her parents—Leonor took an important institutional step and wore one of her most talked-about outfits. Boho Summer Look: Princess Leonor Shines in Mallorca She did so with a dress that is not new, but very significant. It is a Desigual design that her mother, Queen Letizia, wore on this same stage in 2022. Printed in…

In the gardens of Marivent, the annual reception held by the King and Queen for Balearic society provided an image worthy of the institutional album this year, with Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía sharing the limelight with naturalness, confidence, and a closeness that was much talked about among the guests. It was the first time that the two sisters had participated together in this event, and also the first time that Sofía had joined the event. They did not just accompany their parents, but moved freely around the cocktail party, chatting with different attendees and making it clear that the…

Although the Sussexes have put down roots in California, it seems that Prince Harry is not ruling out his children having an educational connection to the United Kingdom. According to Grant Harrold, former butler to King Charles, Harry is quite interested in Archie and Lilibet receiving at least part of their education on British soil. It wouldn’t be right now, of course, but he does see it as a possibility further down the line. The matter, as expected, does not depend solely on Harry’s interest. Harrold suggests that much will depend on how the relationship between the Sussexes and the…

After several days without appearing in public, Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor, and Infanta Sofia reappeared in Mallorca with a plan that struck me as both simple and eloquent: an afternoon at the movies with the family. It was this Thursday at the Rivoli Cinemas in Palma, and I really loved seeing them like that, relaxed, enjoying something so ordinary away from the official spotlight. They chose to see In a Place of the Mind, a documentary with a lot of depth that addresses mental health, art, and social transformation, and which is part of the Atlàntida Mallorca Film Fest, the…

These days, the Spanish Royal Family is enjoying its traditional summer vacation in Mallorca. As he does every year, King Felipe has been participating in the island’s regattas. But on one of those days, something caught the eye. The father of Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia appeared with a bandage on his left leg. King Felipe’s leg injury Everything points to the small bandage covering a minor injury, probably a scratch typical of those who sail. Spanish media reported that during one of the regattas on Thursday, a sail on the sailboat collapsed very close to him, just as he…

In the world of royalty, sometimes the most shocking secrets are not in the headlines, but in the details that come to light over time. And that seems to be the case with Princess Margaret, the younger sister of Queen Elizabeth II. A new book by biographer Meryle Secrest—a renowned author and Pulitzer Prize nominee—suggests that Margaret may have lived her entire life with fetal alcohol syndrome. According to this research, the cause would have been the Queen Mother’s alcohol consumption during pregnancy. The diagnosis was never officially made, and the syndrome was not known in the 1930s, when Margaret…

Summer in Palma de Mallorca is no longer a vacation break for Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía; it is now another stage in their process of institutional maturity. Far from those seasons focused on family photo shoots and leisurely afternoons, this year marks a turning point. Both will make their debut alongside the King and Queen at the traditional reception at the Marivent Palace, a gesture that reinforces their role as active figures within the royal family and brings them, little by little, closer to the responsibilities that their position demands. This step forward in their public profile coincides with…

On the anniversary of one of the most high-profile weddings of the 20th century, Earl Charles Spencer shared a previously unseen childhood photo of himself with his sister, Princess Diana, on social media. Rather than a wedding photo, Charles shared a black-and-white image showing the two children standing by the pool at Park House in Sandringham, wearing swimsuits adorned with swimming badges. “Diana and I both proudly showing off our swimming badges (sewn onto our swimming costumes),” he wrote, evoking the summers they shared under the terrifying—but talented—gaze of their instructor, Mrs. Lansdowne. The post coincided with July 29, the…

Prince Harry seems to be increasingly distancing himself from the royal spotlight, and not just by choice. Following the “failure” of his latest audiovisual projects, experts claim that his public image and appeal are in free fall. For commentator Robert Jobson, the duke’s future does not look bright: “He’ll be a bald 50-year-old prince. Someone formerly known as Prince, that’s what he will be.” The comment, as sarcastic as it is devastating, coincides with the imminent end of his contract with Netflix. The platform will not renew the $100 million deal that Harry and Meghan signed in 2020. Their productions…

For more than a decade, former British ambassador Sir David Manning was a key figure in training Princes William and Harry as representatives of the British monarchy abroad. Queen Elizabeth II herself personally chose him for this mission, convinced that his diplomatic experience and reserved nature would be essential in helping her grandsons find their place within the institution. Manning accepted the position under unusual conditions: he would be a part-time advisor without a salary. He did not want to be caught up in the formal machinery of the palace, but he was willing to offer his advice whenever they…

Without any need for ostentation, Princess Leonor has left a subtle but eloquent example in Catalonia of how jewelry can become a language in its own right. During her participation in the events linked to the Princess of Girona Awards, her choice of accessories revealed a growing inclination for pieces with identity that express her personal evolution. All the Jewels Princess Leonor Wore in Catalonia At the awards ceremony, held at the Gran Teatre del Liceu, the princess opted for a sober ensemble by Bleis Madrid and earrings with a history.
