The poise and confidence of the lady cadet Leonor at her premiere in the Hispanidad parade

Lady cadet Leonor de Borbón, with the Army’s gala uniform on October 12. We see her with poise, strength and security. She is accompanied by her parents. She is the image of the day of the great institutional event of the Kings. For Don Felipe it is the tenth year that he has presided, as monarch, over the Hispanidad parade. The heiress has not paraded, but she marks his debut as a soldier and, as such, has greeted the authorities.

Uniformed in khaki, tunic and pants of the same color, with a grancé red cap, black tie, belt and black high-heeled shoes. The Princess of Asturias, with the Golden Fleece, has returned to the military parade of Hispanidad after two years of absence due to being at school in Wales. This has been the sequence of a festive morning.

Neptune Square with a summer sun. In the line of greeting, the acting President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez; the chief of the Defense Staff; and the acting Minister of Defense, Margarita Robles; and the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso. 11:00 in the morning. Boos have been heard.

Kings Felipe VI and Letizia arrived at the square in the Rolls Royce with the Crown’s red pennant. They were escorted by lancers and cuirassiers. In a second car, with the blue badge of the Principality of Asturias, Leonor. The King wore, by rotation, the uniform of Captain of the Air Force, the Golden Fleece and the sash of Charles III.

The Royal Guard Battalion has started the parade, which wears the historical gala uniform in the times of Alfonso XIII. The guard carried the national flag. The Kings have been received with military honors. They have climbed to the podium carpeted in crimson with the Crown’s shield. To the right of the head of state, the heiress. It is the photograph of two generations that symbolize the continuity of the head of the State. The anthem and the 21 gun salutes of the Schneider cannons from 1906 have been heard.

Don Felipe reviewed the troops, while Letizia walked with Sánchez and Robles. It’s only a few seconds and a few meters of travel, but both always find a few words to talk to. Before going up to the royal tribune, they have been completed by authorities, ministers and regional presidents. Leonor, also for the first time, gave the military salute.
