While the princess swore allegiance to the constitution, some news outlets were calling the frenzy surrounding the nation’s future queen “Leonormania.”
In a speech, she discussed the importance of the constitution and mentioned that she has sworn allegiance to her father, King Félipe VI. “I have also taken an oath of fidelity to the King,” she said. “Not only to his person, but also to what the Crown symbolizes and represents: the unity and permanence of Spain.” The princess, who is also known as the Princess of the Asturias, shared a piece of advice he gave her when she became a member of the Order of the Golden Fleece in 2018.
Over the summer, she returned from two years at United World College of the Atlantic and began three years of military training, where her classmates simply call her Cadet Borbón Ortiz. On October 12, she made another high-profile appearance at Spain’s national day celebrations in uniform and participated in a “jura de bandera” ceremony alongside her fellow cadets. She made headlines later that day, when two of her military classmates approached to shake her hand during a formal event.
