Unpublished Photographs of Christian of Denmark and the Princess of Asturias: A Glimpse into Their Childhood

Each master has his little book, and each Royal House knows how to proceed with its affairs. On October 15, Christian of Denmark, second in line to the Danish throne, came of age; just two weeks later the Princess of Asturias will do so. And to commemorate these anniversaries, both families wanted to ‘gift’ to the public unpublished photographs from the protagonists’ childhood.

In the case of Christian, we are faced with never-before-seen images of the prince as a child, playing with family or on vacation with his parents and brothers in Paris. They are some snapshots that They show us a little more about the personal life of Federico and Mary’s first-born, and that have a different style than those sent this Wednesday by the Palacio de la Zarzuela. Don Felipe and Doña Letizia are clear: even though Leonor turns 18, They want him to continue having that area of ​​privacy that they have defended since he was born.

In accordance with this, the photographs chosen belong to acts or appearances that we already knew, but from another point of view. For example, we find a snapshot of a little Leonor, with her golden curls and dressed in red, sitting at the door of the Prince’s Pavilion. It was taken in April 2007, when Infanta Sofía was born and, a few days later, the four of them posed together at her official residence. The photograph belongs to that same set, but it is a shot that we have never seen.

The same thing happens with the image of the then Infanta Leonor in the Royal Nursery class. At her time, in September 2007, we witnessed how she entered the center on her first day of school, accompanied by her parents; What is new is seeing her sitting in her blue robe in the classroom. Another example are the photographs at the San Javier Air Academy, which, by the way, will become the Princess’s home in the 2025/2026 academic year. Although that military event had the press, later, other unpublished photos were taken from Casa Real, such as the one of the heiress on a plane or watching, attentively, how her father writes in her book of honor.

Don Felipe and Doña Letizia are acting with the same consistency as always by not wanting to provide details of Leonor’s private life. That remains for her and her family and friends. It is very likely that this is, furthermore, the same pattern that Leonor herself will follow, first in her active years as Princess of Asturias and, when the time comes, as Queen of Spain.

What we want to enhance about Leonor with these snapshots is, above all, her institutional image, which is being worked on meticulously, with great care to avoid any misstep by the future head of state. Hence, several of the photographs chosen of her show us with people of her generation, talking with citizens and shaking hands.

There are two photos that refer to topics that interest the Princess and will most likely be on her agenda when the time comes. One of them is women’s sports, since Zarzuela has included an image of Leonor speaking with players from the Spanish team, on a trip she took to London with her sister to support them. The other is the environment, because among all the available snapshots they have chosen one of the Princess, wearing a mask, when she attended an event about nature in the Madrid mountains.

In the album of her 18 years we also see other relevant events for the heiress, such as the National Festival and the Princess of Asturias Awards. In addition, we also wanted to take into account a more familiar part: looks of complicity with Don Felipe, gestures of affection with Doña Letizia and sisterly love with Infanta Sofía.

In conclusion, The 19 photos give us a general image of a well-prepared heiress since she was little, very family-oriented, committed to her role as future queen and already concerned about current hot topics such as equality or climate change. The rest is left for her privacy.

Each master has his little book, and each Royal House knows how to proceed with its affairs. On October 15, Christian of Denmark, second in line to the Danish throne, came of age; just two weeks later the Princess of Asturias will do so. And to commemorate these anniversaries, both families wanted to ‘gift’ to the public unpublished photographs from the protagonists’ childhood.
