France points to Princess Leonor and uncovers the open secret: the Kings know it

The press of the neighboring country has brought up a rather tricky and complicated issue about Felipe VI's daughter

Princess Leonor continues to generate interest both inside and outside our country. A good example of this is that she has now become the subject of the French press. They have uncovered an open secret about the young woman that her parents already know.

Yes, they have brought to light that what happened during her journey on the training ship has shown that there is a problem. Specifically, a security one.

Princess Leonor's security under international scrutiny

Since she began her military training, Princess Leonor has made headlines not only in Spain but also in various European countries. Her presence in the academies and, more recently, on the Elcano ship, represents an important step in her preparation as a future head of state. But this experience has brought with it media exposure that has caused concern in the Royal House.

During her stay on the ship, she has been photographed during leisure moments, both on board and on land. Some photos in a bikini with companions, as well as images of her in a shopping center, have begun to circulate. These captures have shown a lack of adequate protection in terms of privacy and security, of which the kings are aware.

The French press has not hesitated to describe the situation as worrying. According to Paris Match, "it is Princess Leonor's security that is now at the center of concerns." So much so that the media poses a clear and direct question: "Will she be able to complete her training in peace?"

Kings Felipe and Letizia already know Princess Leonor's problem

Both King Felipe and Queen Letizia have closely followed every step of their daughter in this crucial stage of her life. They are well aware of the challenges that the public projection of Princess Leonor entails, and they are fully aware of the impact that her security being at risk has. Therefore, they have made decisions to reinforce the protection of the princess's privacy, such as undertaking certain legal actions.

The media pressure on Leonor is intense. Every step she takes is analyzed in detail, both in terms of institutional image and personal life.

What seemed like normal training within the military calendar has become a matter of international debate. This time, France has been the country that has raised its voice to alert what others already sensed.

Moreover, the fact that the princess is about to begin her stage in the Air Force makes the level of attention increase even more. It will be another different scenario, with new routines, companions, and challenges. With it, new opportunities for the same problem to repeat: uncontrolled media exposure.

The Spanish Royal House will likely take more forceful measures in the future. Not only to protect the young woman's image but also to ensure that she can continue her preparation without external interferences or concerns. The focus should not be on her clothing or her free time, but on the institutional role she is beginning to assume.

In summary, France has put into words what many national media already knew but did not quite say. Yes, that the security of the heir to the throne is a matter of state. Despite the efforts of the kings, media coverage sometimes exceeds the limits of what is reasonable.
