Leonor’s Preparation for her Future Role
Felipe and Letizia are focused on preparing their eldest daughter, Leonor, for her future role as queen of Spain. They have taken steps to completely disassociate her from the Bourbon surname, which has been the subject of controversy in recent years, with the aim of her representing a new era for the Spanish monarchy.
For the last decade, the monarchs have prevented Leonor and her sister, Sofía, from spending time with their cousins, including Cristina and Elena’s children. Although the exact reason is unknown, it is speculated that Queen Letizia believes that some of her cousins, such as Victoria Federica, could negatively influence the princesses due to her focus on social media and fashion.
The ‘It Girls’ of the Royal Family
Leonor and Sofía have distant cousins, Chiara and María Carolina de Borbón dos Sicilias, who have gained popularity on social networks, accumulating more than 100,000 followers. These young women, daughters of Carlos de Borbón-Dos Sicilias and Camila Crociani, have stood out as ‘it girls’ and have achieved recognition in the world of fashion.
Both cousins study at prestigious universities, with Carolina focused on Economics and Fashion Design, while María Chiara specializes in Business, Economics and Fashion. In addition, María Chiara has ventured into acting, participating in the film ‘Grace of Monaco’ alongside Nicole Kidman, and she is also an ambassador for the World Wildlife Fund for France and Italy.
These young women have walked in fashion events, attended red carpets and have been invited to prominent fashion shows, consolidating their influence in the stylistic field. Her presence on social networks and her participation in fashion events have contributed to her growing popularity.
Influence in the World of Fashion
Last year, Chiara and Carolina dazzled at Pierre Cardin’s Spring-Summer 2024 collection show, capturing attention with their elegant outfits. Her presence on social media reflects her passion for fashion, sharing posts that showcase her participation in events and her unique style.
Although it is unknown whether Princess Leonor or Queen Letizia follow their profiles on social networks, the influence of these distant cousins in the world of fashion is undeniable.
