October will undoubtedly be Princess Eleanor’s month. In addition to presiding over the Princess of Asturias Awards ceremony for the first time alone, something else is beginning to take shape: the possibility of her sister Sofia joining her on the traditional tour of the Pueblo Ejemplar.
Although the Zarzuela initially planned for Leonor to attend alone, everything now suggests that we might see the two sisters together at a very special event for the monarchy.
The awards ceremony, set to take place on October 24 at the Campoamor Theater in Oviedo, will mark a significant milestone in the heiress’s public career.
This time, she will preside over the event without the intervention of King Felipe VI, symbolizing her advancement within the institutional structure.
The monarchs will be present in the gallery, accompanied by Infanta Sofia, who will travel from Lisbon for the occasion.
But what truly sparks anticipation is the visit to the Pueblo Ejemplar, scheduled for the following day. This more intimate and emotional event could be the perfect setting to see the daughters of the monarchs demonstrating the bond that defines them.
Sources close to the Palace confirm that the two form a “good tandem,” and there is no doubt that their joint presence would send a message of unity and continuity at a time when Leonor is taking on more responsibilities.
Watching the two young royals walk through the streets of the chosen town is a symbol of the future.
If there’s one thing Eleanor has shown in recent months, it’s her maturity and sense of duty. Accompanied by Sofia, this would further strengthen the connection with society that the Royal Household aims to consolidate.
