Infanta Sofia of Spain.

The Military Easter on January 6th was attended by King Felipe and Queen Letizia, along with Princess Leonor, but many wondered where Sofia was. The Infanta was still in Spain before returning to Lisbon to continue her university studies, so her absence was not due to being abroad. The reason is much simpler and relates to the historical protocol of this act. ​​Since the 18th century, the Military Easter has been reserved for the Head of State and the military chain of command. This means that only monarchs and the heir to the throne attend. ​​Sofia doesn’t have that condition, so her…

Kate and William did something unexpected. ​​They arrived at Charing Cross Hospital just as NHS staff were taking their tea break. The visit was originally planned for William alone, but Kate joined at the last minute. ​​And just before his 44th birthday, she decided to join him to thank the medical team for keeping the system running during the year’s most demanding winter.

Queen Camilla Reveals She Was Assaulted As a Teenager

Camilla has just revealed something she had kept secret for decades. ​​In a special Radio 4 program, the Queen spoke for the first time about how a man attempted to molest her on a train to Paddington when she was a teenager in the 1960s. ​​And she didn’t stand still. ​​As she recalled, she defended herself against the attacker.

Princess Leonor is already on her way to earning another medal. ​​Fernando López Miras, the president of Murcia, has just announced that the heiress will receive the Region’s Gold Medal. ​​It’s no coincidence: Leonor has been training at the General Air and Space Academy in San Javier for months, and according to the president, that already makes her “one of us.” The phrase sounds powerful, almost as if Murcia had officially adopted it. ​​This is not just another formal distinction, but a gesture intended to connect the future queen with the region where she is undergoing one of the most intense stages of…

Why Was Princess Leonor’s First Flight Criticized?

Princess Leonor recently completed her first solo flight at the General Air Force Academy, and already, there is controversy. ​​But be careful, not because of the flight itself, which was perfect. ​​The confusion stems from a much more technical, and even somewhat absurd, issue: the aircraft registration numbers in the photos. It turns out that when the images were released, some people began to notice that different Pilatus PC-21s appeared. ​​The official release was 792-14, but other photos from the training process show 792-12. ​​And of course, they mixed everything up and started saying something wasn’t right. What happened is quite simple. ​​Leonor, like any…
