On the occasion of Princess Leonor’s birthday on October 31. Telemadrid will broadcast a documentary about the heiress and future queen of Spain. “Leonor 18 years, in 18 moments” is the name of the report that will be broadcast on the Spanish channel on the same day she comes of age.

On October 11, the production company Unidad Editorial PLAYTheUNIT premiered the official trailer for this work, which showed the most important moments from the life of Letizia’s daughter and King Felipe of Spain.

This could be the final detail with which Princess Leonor ends her October agenda, the very month in which “Leonormania” broke out, according to Telva magazine, given all the activities of the eldest of the Borbón sisters, which made her the protagonist of the headlines in the press.

Princess Leonor’s five most important moments

The documentary co-produced by PLAYTheUNIT and Amazon Prime Video collects several moments, perhaps the most important, of Leonor since her birth.

More precisely, Casa Real recently published never-before-seen pictures of the Princess of Asturias, revealing her most human side. It is a carousel of photos from Leonora’s personal album from her childhood to her arrival at the Military Academy in Zaragoza.

The report on her life will be somewhat similar and will be broadcast as Princess Leonor swears allegiance to the Constitution in her first public act on October 31 in the Congress of Deputies, in the presence of the Spanish kings, her sister and consort, Queen Sofia.

The director and screenwriter of the film “Leonor 18 years, in 18 moments” Caridad Riol commented on which are the “chosen moments” and which would be the most relevant on an emotional and institutional level.

1. Imposition of the collar of the distinguished Order of Runes

Felipe of Spain awarded Princess Leonor the Collar of the distinguished Order of the Golden Fleece, in an official ceremony held in 2018 in the presence of 80 guests at the Royal Palace.

2. Princess of Asturias Awards 2019

This was the event where Princess Leonor gave her first speech, in which she declared her commitment to Spain.

3. He studies in a boarding school in Wales

The heir to the Spanish crown spent two years at UWC Atlantic College in Wales, a boarding school where she “was a girl beyond her years” and shared “experience with boys of different nationalities”, the documentary director mentioned. At that time, a transition from his pre-adolescence to a more mature phase was noticed.

4. Enrollment in the military academy in Zaragoza

On August 17, 2023, Princess Leonor entered the Military Academy to begin three years of training, a “lesson in hard work and dedication,” according to Caridad Riol.

5. Pledge of Allegiance
