With the coming of age of Princess Leonor, the spotlight on her private life has intensified.
The rigorous protection that had been maintained around the heiress has begun to give way, allowing her new stage, marked by independence, to become the object of public interest.
Recently, a meeting of the princess with her classmates at the Military Academy of Zaragoza generated speculation about a possible relationship with a fellow student.
However, the Royal House was quick to deny such rumors. The Portuguese press has gone a step further, identifying Leonor’s supposed new love interest: Pedro López-Quesada y Borbón Dos Sicilias.
Does Princess Leonor have a boyfriend?
According to Spanish press reports, Pedro is a young man who belongs to an aristocratic family background, the son of Princess Cristina de Borbón Dos Sicilias and businessman Pedro López-Quesada.
His close lineage to the royal family is notable, as King Felipe is the godfather of his sister, Victoria. An interesting fact is that Pedro is also a member of the Navy, the same military corps where Leonor has recently begun her training.
Several media outlets in Portugal have highlighted that both young people, besides being distant relatives, have grown up together and now have met again at the Naval School, where Leonor is in her second year of military training.
Although the exact relationship between Leonor and Pedro remains in the realm of speculation, the Royal Household has neither confirmed nor denied whether there is anything more than a simple friendship between the two.
As a public figure, Princess Leonor’s private life will continue to be monitored, but respect for her privacy should take precedence in this new phase of her life.
Thus, many will be watching the developments surrounding the young woman as her personal story unfolds before the public eye.
