A new adventure for the heir to the throne
With the beginning of the month of September, Princess Leonor prepares for a significant change in her life, as she joins the Escola Naval de Marín for her military training. This stage represents not only a new learning, but also a strong commitment to the responsibilities that come with her position as a future queen.
Adaptations to the School’s rules
The arrival of the princess has led the Naval School to implement some adaptations to its traditional rules. In particular, the service of the meals has been modified, which until now were done in buffet format. From now on, lunch will be served with a fixed menu, a change that may influence the daily dynamics of the school.
Logistical implications
This new type of service requires an adjustment of the budget, as more staff will need to be hired to manage the tables of the 500 students who train daily at the school. The transition to a restaurant system for lunch is a logistical challenge that the school must address effectively.
Strict rules for the princess and her companions
The rules that will govern Princess Leonor’s life at the Naval Academy remain strict, as has been reported. The ban on leaving the province of Pontevedra during the weekends, without a special permit, is one of the measures that she and her colleagues will have to follow.
A strict schedule
The princess’s daily work will start very early, with the touch of the target at 6.45 am. After 35 minutes to get ready and have breakfast, the students will have to change and be ready for classes at 07.20. This discipline is essential for their training.
A demanding routine
The day’s activities include room inspection, physical education classes focused on military maneuvers, and miscellaneous instruction that will take up most of the morning and afternoon. The day will conclude with dinner at 9:30 p.m., marking the end of an intense and structured day.
Looking to the future
The inclusion of Princess Leonor in the Naval School represents not only a step in her personal training, but also an example of dedication and discipline that reflects the expectations that society has for her. As she moves into this new stage, her experiences and learnings will be key in her development as a future leader.
