Princess Leonor is preparing for one of the most intense months of her young career as heir to the throne.
At just 18 years old, this July will mark a turning point in her public life, beginning with her first international trip to Portugal on July 12.
Princess Leonor’s Royal Agenda in July
The Royal Household has unveiled a busy schedule for the royal family in which the Princess of Asturias will be the center of attention.
Leonor, lady ensign
The first significant event of this summer will take place on Wednesday, July 3 at the General Military Academy of Zaragoza.
There, Leonor will receive from the hands of her father, King Felipe VI, the appointment as lady ensign cadet of the Army, as well as the Grand Cross of Military Merit with white badge.
This event will also be attended by Queen Letizia and Infanta Sofia, although they have no other public appearances scheduled for the rest of the week.
In contrast, the King and Princess of Asturias will continue with a more active agenda.
Trip to Lleida
On Friday, July 5, they will travel together to Lleida to preside over the presentation of Royal Dispatches to the new promotion of the Non-Commissioned Officers Scale of the Basic General Academy of Non-Commissioned Officers of Talarn.
This will be the first public engagement in which father and daughter participate together, without other members of the royal family, a situation that is expected to be repeated in future military events.
A day before, on Thursday, King Felipe is scheduled to travel to León for the delivery of Royal Dispatches of Employment at the Basic Academy of Air and Space. In addition, on Monday he will travel to Panama to attend the inauguration of President-elect José Raúl Mulino.
Princess Leonor’s trip to Lleida with her father will mark the beginning of her institutional agenda in Catalonia.
Trip to Lloret de Mar
A week later, on July 10, she, along with her parents and sister, will be in Lloret de Mar for the Princess of Girona Awards ceremony.
Princess Leonor in Lisbon
Just a few days later, Leonor will embark on her first official trip abroad, visiting Lisbon.
This trip represents an important milestone in her formation as heir to the throne.
In addition, in July she is also scheduled to visit with the King the Escuela Naval Militar de Marín, in Pontevedra, where she will continue her military training at the end of August, after her vacations in Palma.
This July will undoubtedly be a month full of commitment for Princess Leonor, in her growing role within the royal family and her preparation for future responsibilities.
