Leonor’s parachute training will take place at Alcantarilla Air Base, also in the Murcia region. According to the outlet, she is set to begin “this week” at the Méndez Parada Military Parachuting School, located in Sangonera La Seca. The Princess, whom we’ve already seen take to the skies, will once again face a major military challenge, as she’ll be required to complete a jump from an altitude of 400 meters.

The royal luncheon formed part of a wider diplomatic program focused on strengthening bilateral relations and launching a new strategic partnership between the Netherlands and India.

The princess has been married to Haakon, the Crown Prince of Norway and heir to the throne, since 2001, and was diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis in 2018.

The royal appeared alongside her other half and their son, Prince Sverre Magnus, as well as Queen Sonja and King Harald.

As she walked out of the royal residence, Skagum, fans noticed the royal was using an oxygen mask to assist her as she made her way outside to greet the crowds and mark the national holiday.

In less than a month, on June 5, 19-year-old Infanta Sofía will wrap up her freshman year of college and say goodbye to her life in Lisbon. The younger daughter of King Felipe and Queen Letizia is studying Political Science and International Relations at the Lisbon campus of Forward College. This private institution, accredited by the University of London, splits its coursework across three different European campuses. Following her time in neighboring Portugal, Princess Leonor’s sister is packing her bags this September for a new move, this time to Paris, where she will complete her sophomore year.

Though she is changing cities and countries, the Infanta will continue to take her classes in English, a language she has mastered since childhood and perfected alongside the Princess of Asturias during her time at UWC Atlantic College in Wales, the international boarding school where she completed her high school diplomas. However, she will also take elective courses in Portuguese, French, and German, which will be essential for fully immersing herself in Parisian life.

Even though she is already a seasoned university student, Infanta Sofía will have to start fresh in a brand-new city. The French capital is a favorite destination for college students, not just for its beauty and sightseeing appeal, but because it stands as a world-class academic, cultural, and intellectual hub with a storied history. It is a highly welcoming hub where students from all over the globe live side-by-side in one of Europe’s major economic engines. The city offers a vibrant cultural scene spanning the visual arts, architecture, literature, theater, cinema, music, and dance, while also playing host to some of the top universities in the world.

For this upcoming sophomore year starting after the summer break, Sofía de Borbón will live and study at the Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris (CIUP), the largest residence hall system for French and international students and researchers in the Île-de-France region. Every year, over 12,000 students and researchers representing 150 different nationalities pass through these facilities. It is a city within a city designed entirely around university life. 

In a statement from the Danish Royal House, the Queen expressed her gratitude for the many messages of support she received during her hospital stay. Following her discharge, a planned theatre engagement on May 23 has been cancelled, as the Queen will be focusing on her healing in the coming period. 

The Danish Royal House confirmed that the Queen underwent an angioplasty, a minimally invasive procedure used to open blood vessels that are blocked or narrowed, restoring normal blood flow. It is most commonly applied to coronary arteries, though it can also be performed in other parts of the body, including the neck, kidneys, and legs. As confirmed by the Royal House, the Queen recovered satisfactorily from the procedure.

According to Dutch outlet AD, Máxima approached a man named Aloysius, who shared with her the challenges he faces caring for his mother, who has dementia.

“My mother also has dementia; it’s a very painful situation,” she said, speaking for the first time about an illness that also affects her daily life.

Máxima isn’t going through this alone; she’s navigating this difficult chapter alongside her brothers, Juan and Martín.

According to her PR the monarchy would be over without her- true or false?

Saw a pic of her come up on my feed and genuinely forgot she existed. Had to take a minute placing who she was.

Does receiving a knighthood require a lifetime of kissing royal arse? How sad.
