Why will Princess Leonor celebrate her 18th birthday at the Royal Palace of El Pardo and not at her home in Zarzuela if the King and Queen have announced a “private and intimate party”

On October 31, Princess Leonor comes of age and unlike the Danish Prince Christian who had a big party, the Spanish heiress will be more discreet and will have a “private and intimate” celebration in the royal palace of El Pardo, the same place where Felipe proposed to Letizia and festive dinner before the couple’s wedding.

While there are few details about the party the Spanish royals are throwing for their first-born daughter, the Spanish press suggests it will be the perfect occasion for the “miracle” of uniting the whole family for the first time in a long time.

Why Leonora’s party will be at El Pardo Palace and not Zarzuela

Mujer Hoya reveals that the private party will be at El Pardo Palace and not in Zarzuela, where Their Majesties’ official residence is located.

They also point out that the Casa Real announcement announces a private party, but the chosen place is an area dedicated to institutional, large galas and where they host foreign monarchs and heads of state on official visits, as happened with the President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro and his wife Verónica Alcocer.

Namely, this place has exclusive security, despite the fact that it has several entrances, including the main entrance and the entrance for visitors and tourists.

Given this information, probably no one knows about the arrival of Princess Leonor’s cousins, Marichalar and Urdangarin, with whom the heiress has had very little contact for some time.

According to the magazine, the facilities also have artistic, architectural and historical value in which they can offer high-level dinners for half a thousand people with service described as “premium”, due to the high standard.

So, as intimate as Princess Leonor’s birthday was, the occasion and the place chosen by the royal family give the impression that it will be in style, since it is a party for the future Queen of Spain, who will “give it away” to her entire family for the first time.
