Princess Leonor is currently in the middle of her military training aboard the ship Juan Sebastián Elcano, where she will remain until the summer, as we report here at RoyalFamily.news.
This training is quite demanding and requires her to stay in shape to participate in various maneuvers. Due to this intense work, many people wonder how much money the princess earns.
How much does Princess Leonor actually earn?
According to some media in Spain, a Marine starts with a gross monthly salary of approximately $1,059. However, during her training, as is the case with the heir to the throne, this figure can change.
After her time at the Escuela Militar de Zaragoza and the Marin Naval School, Leonor is expected to receive around $434 per month.
However, there is one detail that raises doubts: has Princess Leonor decided to reject this salary, as she did in her previous training?
According to the Royal Household, the answer is yes. Leonor has opted not to receive her payment, unlike her companions, who will be paid.
Although she receives the same treatment as the other cadets, her financial situation is different because she is not expected to pursue a military career.
Instead, her training is focused on preparing her for her future role as heir to the throne. For that reason, she has decided to forgo her monthly allowance.
It is interesting to note that, for now, the Princess does not have an official salary. Her parents, King Felipe and Queen Letizia, are expected to cover her expenses until she begins her duties in the monarchy. At that time, she is expected to receive a monthly allowance.
While Leonor is engaged in her intense preparation, it is clear that her path to the monarchy is accompanied by financial decisions that distinguish her from her peers, reflecting her unique position as a future queen.
