Princess Leonor has embarked on her exciting adventure in Brazil, marking the first stop of an extensive six-month voyage aboard the Juan Sebastian Elcano, which will culminate in New York.
Leonor disembarked on February 15 and will spend five days exploring Brazil.
This tour is not just a leisurely stroll; it is a crucial stage in her preparation to become the future queen of Spain.
However, Leonor’s arrival in Brazil has caused a stir in the press. Following images of the princess, many noticed several visible bruises on her right arm.
Bruises on Princess Leonor’s Arms
When the heir to the throne greeted the crowd waiting for her in Salvador de Bahia, it was hard not to notice those bruises.
Although they went unnoticed at first, when she raised her arm, at least three bruises were visible.
This situation has caused concern, revealing the difficulties of life on the high seas.
But there is nothing to be alarmed about: the cause of these bruises is a small incident on board. It was learned that the Princess suffered a fall on the deck of the ship, slipping due to the movement of the boat and hitting a railing.
The press, seeking to play down the drama of the matter, assures that such stumbles are common in such a dynamic marine environment and that Leonor is not the only one to have had an accident.
Life on the ship involves dealing with heavy sails, climbing masts, and performing numerous challenging tasks that can result in bruises.
This is not the first time Princess Leonor has shown bruises on her arms. A few days ago, we also reported here at RoyalFamily.news that the heir to the throne had these striking marks on her arms.
So, while the princess’s arrival has caused a stir, it’s just part of the learning and experience she’s accumulating during this voyage. I’m sure these moments will become anecdotes that she will look back on with a smile in the future.
