• Royal House Princess Leonor returns in style at the Awards concert after her absence on 12-O

The Princess of Asturias turns 16 this Sunday. Although there is no official confirmation, it is believed that Leonor continues in Madrid and that today she will be able to blow out the candles with her family in La Zarzuela,

before traveling to Barajas airport to fly

back to Wales and continue with the international baccalaureate classes that since September he has been performing at the prestigious UWC Atlantic College.

The heiress has enjoyed a vacation period all this last week,

although she has not been seen in public since Saturday,

when the royal family participated in the act in which the Asturian town of Santa María del Puerto, in Somiedo , was recognized as an Exemplary Town. Doña Letizia has had an almost free schedule of official events, which would have allowed her to fully enjoy the company of her firstborn.

Leonor is in full adolescence and the physical change she is experiencing did not go unnoticed during her presence in Asturias, especially some more accentuated features on her face that are reminiscent of several of her Bourbon ancestors,

without losing the sweetness of her face.

In her speeches at both the Campoamor Theater and Santa María del Puerto she was noticed even more self-conscious than in her public premiere two years ago, something that is not surprising precisely because she is in one of the most difficult ages for anyone, in the one that all insecurities tend to exacerbate.

THE FUTURE IS HERE

The eldest daughter of the Kings is going to stay in the British boarding school for the next two years.

But there are many decisions about her future formation and about her role as heir to the throne that are still pending and that

will be conditioned by the political future

of the present legislature.

Thus, until now, for example, nothing has been discussed about what type of military training it is going to develop, and when it will do so. No one doubts that, as the future head of the three armies, she will go through the military academies, although

she is not expected to do so for as long as her father,

Don Felipe. If she emulates European heirs like Isabel of Belgium, Leonor would submit to military discipline just after finishing high school, before undertaking her higher studies. But he could also follow in the footsteps, for example, of Victoria of Sweden, who

had her military immersion at the end of her university career.

The reasonable thing is that a decision of this type is agreed between the House of the King and the Government.

Hence, it is important who is in Moncloa in the summer of 2023, when Leonor has already said goodbye to Wales.

And if he turns 16 this Sunday, in two years he will reach the age of majority and

will have to swear the Constitution as heir

in a solemn session of the Cortes.

Constitutional experts emphasize that this fact of such transcendence must be taken into account by the Prime Minister when calling elections.

Finally, we will see if before the Princess concludes high school she makes her first official trip on behalf of the Crown.

Let us remember that Don Felipe did it when he was just 15 years old.

For now, while all these unknowns are resolved, Leonor can still stretch a little that exciting transition from girl to woman.
