Princess Leonor Arrives At The General Military Academy

ZARAGOZA, SPAIN - AUGUST 17: Margarita de Pardo Santayana, The Princess Lonor of Asturias, Queen Letizia, and Princess Sofia arrive at the General Military Academy of Zaragoza on the occasion of her entrance for her military training, on 17 August, 2023 in Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain. The Princess of Asturias begins today her training as a lady cadet at the General Military Academy, joining a new class of cadets, future officers of the Army, the Civil Guard and the Common Corps of the Armed Forces. Leonor will have a special study plan compared to that of the other cadets, since she will take two courses in one year and will have, like her father King Felipe VI, the specialty of infantry. She will join 612 cadets (140 women) in the first promotion, but on October 7, the day of the Oath of Allegiance, she will join the second promotion. In the first weeks of military life, the cadets will acquire basic knowledge of military law and regulations, which they will complement with physical training and military instruction. During the course, Her Royal Highness will stay with the rest of her class in shared quarters with other female students. (Photo by Toni Galan/Getty Images)
