Her parents are Their MajestiesKing Felipe VI of SpainandQueen Letizia, per theSpanish royal family.
At the time of Leonor’s birth, Felipe was crown Prince of Spain, aka thePrince of Asturias.
It was only when Felipe ascended in 2014 that Leonorbecamea princess.
All of that being said, Princess Leonor is not the heir apparent, but the heir presumptive.
In any event, Princess Leonor has long been regarded by the Spanish people as their future queen.
Join us as we trace the stunning transformation of this future Queen of Spain.
Indeed, many of her milestones have been well documented.
The 2007 birth of her younger sister,Infanta Sofia, eliminatedsomedegree of uncertainty regarding Leonor’s status.
Like Leonor, Elena was regarded as the heir presumptive at birth.
And so it remained, even after the birth of her younger sister, Cristina.
Like Elizabeth, Leonor is the more reserved of the two sisters, perRoyal Central.
Of course, we know how that went for Elizabeth.
Given Felipe and Letizia’s respective ages, it’s quite possible history will repeat itself.

Perhaps not surprisingly, King Felipe was also 13 when gave his own first public address as crown prince.
She sported a dress she’d already worn the previous year (relatable!)
along with kitten heels and a face mask.
A warm welcome from the public and a banner that read “The future is Leonor” greeted her.
This engagement involved planting trees in a nature preserve in Madrid in honor of World Environment Day.
Tuition for Leonor’s two-year course of study comes in at just under $93,000.
The radio station later apologized for the inflammatory fake-ish news.
