From this Friday, the Princess of Asturias takes her bearings and learns the basics of the army. She must manage faster than her classmates because in October, during the swearing-in ceremony, she will already be joining second-year students.
Due to her atypical background, her studies will be condensed and she will have to study two years in one. By October, her instructors will consider that she has assimilated the equivalent of the rudiments of the first year.

Even if this military atmosphere is completely new for the heiress to the throne, Leonor is not at her first experience outside the family home. For the past two years, the Princess of Asturias has been studying at a boarding school in Wales, at UWC Atlantic College.
