Unpublished Photos Revealed: A Glimpse into Princess Leonor’s Life on her 18th Birthday

The Royal Family has already given the starting signal, a few days before the expected swearing-in of the Constitution, for the celebrations of Princess Leonor’s coming of age, marking her 18th birthday with some unpublished photos from his childhood. From his early years to his most recent moments, the images make a tour of the heiress’s lifeshowing more private scenes and moments that until now we had not been able to witness, although many of them have been taken at public events, but in situations in which the accredited media were not present.

There are, in total, 20 photos that show the Princess Leonor in different stages and scenarios in these 18 years, from its first days of life until last Saturday, during the presentation of the Exemplary Town Award. The series of images begins a few days after his birth, on the day of the presentation to the media, in the room of the Royal House where the images were taken. first official photographs of the heiress.

Another image is only from a year and a half later. Surely you remember how Princess Leonor, then an infanta, became the protagonist of the presentation before the media of his little sister. Well, after posing in front of the cameras at the doors of the Ruber Internacional clinic, the family arrived in Zarzuela and Leonor sat on one of the access steps, a moment of naturalness that was also captured by the royal lens.

Another of the lesser-known snapshots that were distributed this Wednesday from the Zarzuela Palace is that of Princess Leonor in her first day at the Royal Guard nursery, in September 2007.

But, as we said, there are many that come from public events but in more private moments to which the media objectives did not have access, like this one from the General Air Academy of San Javier. The 25th anniversary of the class in which Don Felipe graduated was being celebrated and the then Princes of Asturias – it did not take long for them to become kings – did not hesitate to attend the celebration event accompanied by their daughters. This photograph of Leonor was taken there, aboard one of the exhibition planes, as well as the image that opens this article with the heiress showing her total spontaneity while his father signed the academy’s honor book.

Another public moment, but of which there are unpublished photos, is the journey that, in the summer of 2012, Don Felipe and Doña Letizia took with their daughters in the Sóller tourist trainduring his summer stay in Mallorca.

Or this one, much more recent and in a very similar answer. This summer, during her visit to the Alfabia gardens in Mallorca, the camera of her official portrait photographer captured this moment, with Leonor acting as photographer for her father and her sister.

Also during that visit to the Alfabia gardens, the Kings’ photographer was able to capture a unique gesture from the Princess of Asturias, looking directly into the camera at a moment when her family had all their attention focused elsewhere.

Other images that have been distributed this Wednesday to celebrate Princess Leonor’s 18th birthday, which she will turn on October 31, are, simply, different perspectives than that of the media accredited to public events. For example, when the Spanish soccer team took its second Euro Cup to the Zarzuela, the presentation of the Golden Fleece by Don Felipe in 2018 or different editions of the Princess of Asturias Awards.

There is also a beautiful image with her other half, Infanta Sofía, taken during the heiress’s graduation last May. Two united sisters who show their affection in this previously unpublished snapshot.

Leonor and Sofía experienced their first solo act outside our borders a year ago, when they traveled to London to watch the match between the Spanish and Danish teams, within the framework of the UEFA Women’s Euro England 2022. Although we had photos from the media accredited, there was a private moment that only the Royal Family photographer could capture, when the two sisters They went down to the locker room to congratulate the players. A scene of which we were able to see several images, but not this one, unknown until this Wednesday.

Princess Leonor’s entry into the General Military Academy of Zaragoza also has its place in this series of unpublished photographs, with Doña Letizia very attentive to her eldest daughter, worried about the step she was about to take.

This tour of the heiress’s life also includes an image of the first solo act in which he starred alongside his sister, Infanta Sofía, for the ‘A tree for Europe’ project, in 2021, on the occasion of World Environment Day. Also one of that civil State ceremony for the victims of the pandemic, in 2020, the celebrations for the National Day of the 2019, the visit to the Dalí Museum, last year, or his visit to the Naüm socio-educational center, in Palma de Mallorca.
