Princess Leonor Visits Military School with Parents Ahead of Her Military Training

On July 7, Leonor, The Princess of Asturias, and Spain's future Queen regnant, accompanied her parents, King Felipe and Queen Letizia to Zaragoza as His Majesty presided over the act of the delivery of employment dispatches and appointments to the new officers of the Army at the General Military Academy in Zaragoza, Spain.

It's an introduction of a military life to Princess Leonor as she begins her military training this August after completing her high school studies.

Leonor, who will turn 18 this coming October, will train in the three branches of the Spanish armed forces - Royal Navy, Army, and Air Force, just like what her father did. It is part of her role as future Spanish Sovereign.

As she proudly stood beside her mother Queen Letizia and father King Felipe, Leonor stunned in a white summery dress with black polka dots and a sash.

The Crown Princess looked elegant in a white and black polka dot top and skirt by Spanish label, Barey, she paired it with a pair of black shoes. While her mother, Queen Letizia opted for a white waistcoat and skirt ensemble by Felipe Varela.

Just days ago, they attended the Princess Girona Awarding Ceremony in Girona where Princess Leonor delivered a speech urging the youths to be responsible part of the society.

Her younger sister, Infanta Sofia who accompanied them to the Princess Girona Awards, were not seen during their Zaragoza engagement. Infanta Sofia is expected to follow her older sister to UWC this coming autumn as Leonor will immerse in military training.

As The Princess of Asturias comes of age this year, she is expected to take a full load in performing her royal duty as her younger sister begins her international baccaulareate course in Wales.

As the Spanish royal family does not have any working family members currently, apart from the King and Queen, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia are expected to assume full royal duties next year.

The Spanish Royal House is the only reigning royal house in Europe that has no working family members. The two older sisters of His Majesty - Infanta Elena and Infanta Cristina - are no longer working royals. They are not receiving any allowances also from the state.

The King's mother, Queen Sofia, only performs royal duties related to her charities but not on behalf of the Crown. Since the financial scandal and controversies involving the former King, Juan Carlos, and Infanta Cristina's previous controversies, the Spanish Royal House restricted working royals to King Felipe's direct family only.
