Leonor of Spain, a future queen who could save the monarchical institution<

Leonor has learned all her lessons well. On March 24, she presided alone, for the first time, a ceremony, and made no mistake. Impeccable in a little floral dress, the princess represented the Crown at the 30th anniversary celebrations of the Cervantes Institute, which promotes Spanish language and culture. Without her parents by her side, the teenager showed no sign of nervousness, as if she had been doing this all her life. After a speech, she even spoke with the employees, who explained to her the process of digitizing their archives.

With each of her official outings, the Leonor effect is confirmed: the young highness is adored by her subjects. It could even give color to this monarchy which is struggling today to seduce the Spaniards. According to some recent polls, if a referendum on the future of the institution were held today, between 32% and 45% would vote in favor of a republic. This disenchantment is certainly the consequence of the many escapades of Juan Carlos. The former king is entangled in several scandals, including money laundering, which led him to abdicate in 2014, and to go into exile in August 2020, heading to Abu Dhabi. Since then, his son, King Felipe VI, has been trying to regain the confidence of his country, but seems unable to do so. His wife, Queen Letizia, divides citizens as much as the press: she is sometimes adored, sometimes harshly criticized. So, wouldn't Princess Leonor be the hope of a new breath for the monarchy?

While waiting to assume even more of her duties, the young woman will integrate, at the start of the next school year, the Atlantic College, in order to prepare for an international baccalaureate. This prestigious establishment in Wales is nicknamed “the school of kings”, as it is frequented by the aristocracy and good society. Another princess will take her first steps there next September: Alexia of the Netherlands, Princess of Orange-Nassau and second daughter of King Willem-Alexander. A model student, Leonor will study history, literature, science and languages ​​there: she who already speaks Spanish, English, Arabic, as well as a little French, Chinese and German.

After two years in the United Kingdom, where she will be able to enjoy a certain anonymity, the princess should return to Spain, where she will accelerate her training as a future sovereign. When she is on the throne, her counterparts in the other monarchies will also, for the most part, be women: Elisabeth in Belgium, Catharina-Amalia in the Netherlands, Estelle in Sweden, Ingrid Alexandra in Norway… Tomorrow, royal Europe will be feminine.
