In a private ceremony held at the General Military Academy of Zaragoza, Princess Leonor de Borbón was awarded a diploma for her exceptional academic and military merits during her training as a cadet.
This distinction, awarded to the heiress to the Spanish throne, recognizes her dedication, effort, and excellence in the rigorous military studies she has completed in recent months.
Princess Leonor receives diploma from the Military Academy
The ceremony, attended by students, professors, and military authorities, took place on the occasion of the 142nd anniversary of the prestigious General Military Academy.
According to sources close to the Royal House, Leonor was recognized as a “brilliant student” by her superiors, who praised her perfection in the execution of the exercises and her commitment to military training.
In addition to the princess, around ten other cadets received similar diplomas for their academic and military excellence during the first four-month period.
The General Military Academy seeks to encourage and distinguish those students who, by their example and hard work, excel in their preparation.
During the event, military decorations were also awarded to military and civilian officers, as is the tradition of this annual celebration.
Although it was a private ceremony, there was speculation about the possible presence of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, but as a general rule, family members do not usually attend this type of internal ceremony.
The diploma awarded to the Princess of Asturias reinforces her military vocation and her commitment to military training, a path she has decided to follow in the footsteps of her father and grandfather.
This recognition augurs a promising future for Leonor in her preparation as the future Chief of Staff of the Spanish Armed Forces.
