    October 31st, 2023 was a historic day for Spain and for Princess Leonor, who turned 18 and was sworn in as heir to the throne.

    The ceremony, which took place in the Congress of Deputies, was full of symbolism and emotion, but also of some curious moments that did not go unnoticed.

    One of them was the protocol error of the Infanta Sofía, who, upon arriving at the Congress and then sitting in the seats that were already there, took the position corresponding to that of Leonor.
