A Year of Important Milestones
The previous year was marked by significant milestones in Princess Eleanor’s life after she completed her studies at UWC Atlantic College in Wales. From her training at the Zaragoza Military Academy to her coming of age, symbolized by the oath of the Constitution at the Congress of Deputies in Madrid, the princess is taking steps forward on her way to the throne.
Personal Independence and Military Responsibilities
As Eleanor continues her military duties and prepares to take on wider responsibilities, she is also moving towards personal independence. Recently, it was revealed that she has started taking driving lessons, a crucial step towards her autonomy. Having your own vehicle and driver’s license will allow you to move around more freely, although you will still be under the protection of your escorts.
Family Revelations
It has been reported that his grandfather, John Charles I, had planned to give him a car in anticipation of this new stage. Despite her interest in getting her first car, Elionor couldn’t accept the gift. Queen Letizia and King Felipe VI flatly rejected the offer, prioritizing integrity and transparency in all aspects of their lives and that of their daughters, with the aim of protecting the image of the monarchy and the future reign of his daughter.
Although the specific model of the car that John Charles I intended to give Elionor as a gift has not been revealed, it is speculated that it was a vehicle from a luxury brand. However, current circumstances have led to a total rejection of any gift by the royal family towards the emeritus.
