Maximum Excitement as the New Rumor About King Felipe and Princess Leonor Is Confirmed
King Felipe doesn't want Princess Leonor to have privileges during her stay on the Elcano ship
One of the rumors that had caused the most anticipation around King Felipe VI and his daughter, Princess Leonor, has been confirmed. The monarch has been firm in rejecting any type of privilege for his heir, even in the most delicate situations. His decision has provoked a wave of reactions, many of them marked by emotion and respect for his stance.
For weeks, there was talk in Zarzuela about the possibility of Leonor temporarily leaving the training ship Juan Sebastián de Elcano. The idea came from Queen Letizia, who was concerned about her daughter's health. However, Felipe VI has made his position clear: the princess must complete her training like the rest of her peers.

The king believes that suspending this stage would send the wrong message to the public. For him, military training is not only part of the institutional protocol but a key exercise in leadership and responsibility. He is aware that his daughter will be queen one day and must be prepared to face all kinds of challenges.
Even when Letizia suggested that Leonor leave the Elcano for a few days to attend her sister Sofia's 18th birthday, Felipe was adamantly opposed. He stated that no personal event should interfere with military training. This refusal has been interpreted as a demonstration of the king's commitment to the Crown's exemplarity.
Princess Leonor Will Complete the Training Cruise
In the Royal Household's environment, there has been some tension since the princess embarked on the Elcano. Although official images show her happy, focused, and dedicated to her duties, the reality is tougher than it seems. Leonor suffers from seasickness, the so-called motion sickness, and experiences dizziness, vomiting, and even falls.
Her peers have commented that, despite her delicate physical state, the heir to the throne has not stopped participating in the assigned tasks. She has hoisted sails, taken watch shifts, and attended nautical classes like any other. This attitude has caused deep admiration among the crew and also among her superiors.

But the pressure doesn't only come from the sea or physical effort. In recent weeks, private images of the princess in public places in Chile and Uruguay have been leaked. Photos in swimsuits or on terraces with peers have circulated on social media uncontrollably.
Queen Letizia has shown deep concern for her daughter's safety and public image. She considers these leaks to represent a serious institutional protection failure. She believes that exposing Leonor in this way puts at risk not only her privacy but her prestige as a future head of state.
King Felipe Has Already Made the Decision
Felipe VI keeps his stance firmly. He believes these difficulties are part of his daughter's learning process. He is convinced that overcoming this test will strengthen her character and better prepare her for her future.

The princess, meanwhile, has remained silent. She has not issued any complaints or requested any special treatment. Her attitude has been described as professional and committed by those accompanying her on this journey.
As Leonor's military training progresses, the admiration of the people also grows. Many citizens have expressed their pride in the discipline and dedication the heir demonstrates. They consider her an example of hard work, humility, and responsibility.
Although there are disagreements between the kings in Zarzuela, the message they convey to the outside remains one of unity and commitment. The princess is fulfilling her mission, with effort and without privileges. That, for many, is the best sign that she is prepared to lead the future of the monarchy.
