Leonor, who will turn 20 on October 31, arrived in Murcia at 12 on 1 September, after a few weeks of holiday spent in Majorca with the family. For the occasion, the princess wore the blue gala uniform of Spanish aviation, already full of decorations: the order of Charles III, the order of military merit, the order of naval merit and the order of Christ (the latter was conferred on it by the president of Portugal on the occasion of his first official journey abroad). In short, a uniform, which does not only symbolize its belonging to the Air Force, but also the training course as the future head of the armed forces. The heir to the throne is now the pupil of the guardiamarina Boubon-Ortiz and at the end of his training course he will be a pupil of the frigate.
