Leonor, the Princess of Asturias, played a central role in last week’s military parade in Madrid to commemorate Spanish National Day.
Members of the Royal Family usually preside over the display through one of Madrid’s main avenues, plus a jet flyover, followed by a reception at the Royal Palace.
Princess Leonor, who is currently undergoing military training as heir to the throne, took a more prominent role in the ceremonies this year.
The Fiesta Nacional coincides with the anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ first arrival in the Americas. Countries around the world celebrate Hispanic heritage around the same time.
