Her status as crown princess will allow her to receive a salary at the end of her studies. Even though that day is far from having arrived, Vanity Fair Spain deduced what Leonor of Spain could earn each year.
Since the economic escapades of his father, Juan Carlos I, King Felipe VI wants to restore the image of the Spanish royal family. To do this, he revealed in 2020 the salary received by his wife, his mother and himself, after excluding the king emeritus from the budget of the Royal Household. The Spanish subjects therefore learned that Felipe VI, Queen Letizia and Queen Emeritus Sofia of Greece received a little more than €500,000 in 2023: €270,609 for the king, €148,826 for his wife and €121,776 for his mother. As for his daughters, they do not yet receive this famous salary for several reasons. Although they are officially part of the royal family, they do not have an official full-time schedule, do not have a team at their side and Sofia is still a minor.
However, Vanity Fair Spain revealed an estimate of what the king and queen's eldest daughter could earn. As of today, Leonor of Spain is 19 years old and still undergoing her military training, which is not expected to end for some time. It is only after this time in the army that she will eventually be able to receive an annual allowance. The media is based on that perceived by Felipe VI when he was still prince of Asturias. He received 50% of his father's salary. This criterion remained in place until his abdication and should surely be applied for Princess Leonor. Which would mean that she would receive €135,304 per year. Less than his mother, but more than his grandmother. In the meantime, the heir to the Spanish throne must finish her career in the army. After spending several months in the army at the Zaragoza Military Academy, she joined the Marin Naval School at the start of the 2024 school year. After these few months, she should continue her education at the General Academy of Air in San Javier. To be continued.
