Since August 2023, the popular Princess Leonor, the older daughter of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, has been receiving the best military training possible before receiving the throne of Spain. After ending her two years of high school studies at the United World College, the princess returned to her country to start her military career, guided by her father.
The first steps for Princess Leonor in the Zaragoza Military Academy were in the ground cadet training course, where the first year they specialized in ground combat, strategies, and teamwork. After this, the young royal will enter the Marin Navy to begin her maritime defense course, and finally she will complete her training in the army at the San Javier Air Academy in Murcia, processes in which she will learn the most needed skills to navigate, to be a pilot, and to fully serve her country.
These types of courses and trainings have been designed for King Felipe VI, who, knowing the difficulty, knows that his daughter will be more than prepared by the Spanish army. After all this information, it could be inferred from the itinerary that the Princess Leonor will have a military training of three years, which is different from her father’s training, which lasted four years, composed of two years at the Zaragoza Military Academy, one year at the MarÃn Navy Academy, and finally another year at the San Javier Air Academy.
