Princess Leonor of Spain, 19, makes her first official visit to parliament building (while following in her mother’s very stylish footsteps!)

Princess Leonor of Spain made her first official visit to the Palacio del Gobierno de Navarra on Friday.

The 19-year-old joined her parents Queen Letizia, 52, and King Felipe, 57,  for the trip to the parliament building in the northern province of the country.

Heir presumptive Leonor, who is also known as the Princess of Asturias, appeared to have taken a leaf out of her mother’s style book for the appearance.

She donned a professional pinstripe navy suit with an oversized blazer and wide-legged trousers.

Leonor paired the ensemble with a pair of pointed, sling back heels, and a matching navy handbag.

Meanwhile, she opted to wear her long, light brown tresses loose, with her glossy locks falling past her shoulders.

The teenager completed her ensemble with a natural make-up look, opting for a dewy base, light eye-shadow, and a natural lip.

Meanwhile, Queen Letizia also wore a trouser suit, hers in maroon, which she paired with low-heeled black pumps and a red handbag.

The royal also opted to wear her chestnut tresses loose, completing her look with her classic, natural make-up style.

Leonor is currently undergoing her three-year military training: she embarked on her final year earlier this month. 

As she is the heir to the throne, Leonor will one day take the title of Commander in Chief of the armed forces, alongside being the Queen of Spain, and therefore has to spend three years in each section of defence.

In January, she boarded the Juan Sebastián de Elcano, a Spanish Navy training ship.

Then, in June, the royal and her fellow cadets arrived in New York on board the vessel. Leonor was not reported to have taken the ship back to Spain, instead returning by plane to board the Spanish Navy guided missile frigate Blas de Lezo, where she was scheduled to complete an essential part of her naval training.

The royal looked every inch a poised naval cadet as she arrived in the States, blending, in her crisp white uniform complete with black insignia.

She took off her hat and saluted onlookers as she stood proudly aboard the ship as it arrived in the US.

Leonor is currently undertaking her aeronautical training, arriving at the General Air and Space Academy in San Javier on September 1.

A message written in the Academy’s Book of Honour by Leonor said: ‘Today I begin the third stage of my military training at this General Air and Space Academy. I look forward with enthusiasm to this course, during which I will have the opportunity to begin my aeronautical training and, alongside my classmates, learn the practical and theoretical aspects of military aviation.’

After being found ‘flight fit’ before the Summer, the princess is taking a number of theoretical classes, before she takes to the skies – with reports saying that by Christmas, it’s estimated that she will have started flying. 

It comes several months after King Felipe and Queen Letizia took legal action to protect Princess Leonor’s privacy in May this year – the first time they have done so.

According to reports, the alleged invasion of privacy took place in Chile, during Leonor’s free time away from the navy training onboard the Juan Sebastian de Elcano that she was undertaking at the time. 

Following her outing, photographs of Leonor in a Chilean shopping centre surfaced, prompting a report in Lecturas that claimed that the royals considered the images a breach of Leonor’s privacy. 

Chilean news outlet biobiochile.cl further claimed that the Spanish Embassy in Chile filed a complaint with the National Police regarding the photographs, which showed Leonor inside a shopping centre in Punta Arenas.

The Spanish Royal Family claimed that a staff member responsible for monitoring the shopping centre’s security cameras granted a Chilean media outlet access to the images and thus breached data protection regulations in Chile, the outlet said.

The report further claimed that the palace considered the images of Leonor to be ‘unacceptable’.
