By being the next heir to the Spanish throne, Princess Leonor has a trajectory to follow, and the career she wants to study is not in the path as it breaks tradition and distances from her father’s, King Felipe VI, indications for her future.
The crown princess has followed the royal indications by studying at the prestigious Santa María de los Rosales school in Madrid and then at UWC Atlantic College. Now, as her father does, she will become a cadet at the General Military Academy of Zaragoza. But many wonder if she will always follow the royal protocol, even with the next step.
The next move of the Princess would be the university, and as King Felipe did, the most convenient for the royalty was that after the military ranks she would work on her “university studies, with law as the backbone“, and her father is a jurist from the Autonomous University of Madrid.
Although it was believed the Princess would follow the same path, according to reports in ‘Monarquía Confidencial’, Leonor’s “academic future is not yet fully decided” as she is not “sure whether she will follow in her father’s footsteps and study law, or, on the contrary, enroll in some engineering, still unspecified“, which would break the tradition.
