Princess Leonor, heir to the Spanish throne, is immersed in intense military training.
At the peak of her military training, the young royal had the privilege of being in the presence of her father, King Felipe VI, who proudly witnessed the military maneuvers in which his first-born daughter participated.
Princess Leonor completes military training under the watchful eye of King Felipe
Princess Leonor, 18, has shown unwavering dedication to her military training since she entered the General Military Academy in Zaragoza last August.
Her determination has been put to the test in rigorous training that includes full-gear runs, combat drills, and maneuvers in challenging terrain.
However, one of the highlights of this training stage was the recent visit of King Felipe VI to the San Gregorio National Training Center.
There, the monarch witnessed with paternal pride the maneuvers of the 22nd company, to which his daughter belongs.
Dressed in the uniform of the Army, the king was able to observe closely the exercises performed by Princess Leonor and her fellow cadets.
The images released by the Royal Household show the heir to the throne immersed in training, wearing a helmet, goggles, and rifle, without distinction from the rest of the cadets.
Her ability to integrate and follow orders to the letter has been widely praised.
After finishing the exercises, King Felipe did not hide his satisfaction at approaching his daughter, sharing a moment of complicity that reflects the close relationship between the two.
In addition, the monarch had the opportunity to share a table and chat with the princess’s companions, demonstrating his genuine interest in the experience of the future officers.
This visit of King Felipe to his daughter took place last Friday, March 15, just days before Princess Leonor started a new training at the Infantry Academy of Toledo to become a student ensign.
There, she will face combat training in urbanized areas, preparing her for the challenges that come with military leadership.
The training will last until next Saturday, March 23, after which Leonor will be able to enjoy a few days of rest during Easter Week.
With these new maneuvers in Toledo, the heiress enters the final stretch of her toughest training in the Army.
The dedication and commitment shown by Princess Leonor in her military training has received widespread praise.
Her ability to adapt to the demands of military training, without privilege or distinction, augurs well for a promising future as the head of the Spanish Armed Forces.
