    It’s inspiring to see Crown Princess Leonor take such a hands-on approach to her military training. Her dedication and commitment to her future role as queen are truly impressive. This marks an exciting chapter in her journey. The support from her parents will undoubtedly make this experience even more meaningful. Wishing her all the best on this remarkable voyage!

    A nice dress uniform. She looks very polished. Can anyone explain what the gold knot braid on her upper sleeve represents?

  3. Il faut reconnaître que Leonor porte à merveille l'uniforme militaire mais je la préfère quand même de couleur blanche !

    From all the royal females who are serving their country she is the one who is mostly photographed in gala uniform.

    1. Because Leonor is the only royal female doing 3 years in the different branches of the army. It means that in official days like today, she must wear the uniform. The only times we see her in civilian clothing is in civilian official engagements.

    I have to say,Lenor is a very impressive young lady. I look at her and Elisabeth of Belgium and Ingrid of Norway,all have/are putting in the service with the armed services! As heirs to the throne it’s admirable to see them doing it. Being a Crown Princess it’s not all about the tiaras and jewels.
    I understand Christian of Denmark will also be joining a branch of the army this year. Bravo and best of luck to them all.
    Lowri.
