Everything Changes for Princess Leonor After the Exclusive Just Published in Peru

Princess Leonor has once again become the center of media attention following an unexpected appearance in Lima. In the midst of the Juan Sebastián Elcano's journey, an exclusive from a Peruvian magazine has revealed that Leonor has broken with the low profile that was desired for her visit to Peru. According to reports, she has left the ship twice to have lunch at a popular Lima restaurant during a strict state of emergency affecting the port of Callao.

The news has caused surprise, as days ago it was reported that Leonor would limit her outings due to the security context. What then led the daughter of the Kings to share lunches in a public and relaxed environment with her fellow midshipmen?

Princess Leonor Arrives in Peru During a State of Emergency

Since her embarkation on the Juan Sebastián de Elcano, Leonor has experienced an unprecedented formative journey. This voyage, which is part of her military training, has taken her to different ports around the world. At each stop, her presence has been captured by cameras, and she has left some controversy in our country.

However, her time in Peru has been surrounded by unusual discretion. Lima and Callao are going through a tense moment due to the increase in violence, which led the government to declare a state of emergency. Therefore, it was expected that the princess's stay would pass almost in complete anonymity, without public appearances or notable protocol acts.

The Navy's training ship docked at the port of Callao on April 18. There, the 75 midshipmen were received in an official ceremony with the presence of Spanish diplomatic representatives, including Ambassador Alejandro Abellán García. There were no grand speeches or official tours, just a brief reception that marked the beginning of an atypical stopover.

From that moment, the group's mobility has been restricted. The security measures imposed by the emergency have limited the crew's movements. Unlike other cities visited by the ship, where Leonor was seen strolling and participating in cultural activities, in Lima the watchword has been prudence.

Despite this, according to the magazine Cosas, Leonor was seen on April 18 and 19 at the Isolina restaurant, located in the bohemian Barranco neighborhood. The venue, known for its Creole cuisine and homage to old Lima taverns, was the setting chosen by the princess and eight companions to enjoy a relaxed meal.

The report highlights that the heiress did not go to the main establishment but to a new location set in a historic mansion in the same neighborhood. There, the group enjoyed typical dishes such as ají tiradito, arroz tapado with egg and plantain, and the classic lomo saltado.

What particularly draws attention is the contrast between the relaxed atmosphere of the restaurant and the country's situation. Leonor's presence in this venue, accompanied by escorts dressed in civilian clothes who sat at an adjacent table, shows careful planning.

This company suggests that it was an organized outing, allowing the future officers to enjoy a moment of leisure outside the ship and get to know a bit of the city. Both tables left the venue together, keeping the security protocol at all times.

The source consulted by Cosas had the opportunity to welcome her to Lima. The heiress thanked the gesture and, according to this source, appeared "very simple and friendly," highlighting the closeness and kindness of the future Queen of Spain despite the circumstances.

The exclusive published in Peru reveals an unexpected turn in Princess Leonor's visit to Lima. Despite the state of emergency and previous reports pointing to a low-profile stay, Leonor has left the ship to enjoy moments off the vessel. However, everyone is asking the same question: how will the Royal House take this decision?
