The Portuguese President’s official website shared a note on June 27 that read (translated to English): “At the invitation of the President of the Republic, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Asturias will visit Portugal on July 12th. On her first official trip abroad, Dona Leonor de Borbón y Ortiz, Heiress of the Crown, will be received at the Belém Palace by President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa.”
The program for Leonor’s visit to Portugal “will have a particular focus on environmental protection and ocean conservation,” which are described as “priority themes for Portugal and Spain.”
The Princess of Asturias is Queen Letizia and King Felipe’s elder daughter. Leonor undertook her first solo engagement back in 2021 at the age of 15. Last August, the Spanish royal began her first year of military training, which she reflected on last month at the Medal of Aragon award ceremony.
