The Crown Princess Leonor of Spain is now solidly in the spotlight—and the Spanish public loves her for it.
On Tuesday afternoon in Madrid—on the very morning of her 18th birthday—Crown Princess Leonor swore allegiance to the Spanish Constitution, as a symbolic commitment to her eventual succession as the reigning monarch of Spain. In front of a crowd of hundreds, she pledged “to faithfully carry out my duties, to keep and uphold the Constitution and the laws and respect the rights of citizens and the autonomous communities and loyalty to the king.
In 2014, the King abdicated in favor of his son, Felipe, after his daughter was involved in an embezzlement scandal. Meanwhile, two years earlier, he had taken a $60,000 hunting trip to Botswana, paid for by an advisor to the Saudi royal family who would later be named in the Panama Papers. It left many in Spain wondering if they should have a royal family at all: a 2020 poll found 48 percent of Spaniards wanted a referendum on the monarchy. Enter Princess Leonor.
