Spain's Future Queen Starts University: Princess Leonor, 20, Dresses Down in Jeans and a T-Shirt at Universidad Carlos III in Madrid

The heir to the Spanish throne begins a four-year Political Science degree after three years of military training, officials said.

  • On Monday, Princess Leonor, 20, began a four-year Political Science degree at Carlos III University's Getafe campus, arriving with other first-year students for her first day of classes.
  • Before enrolling, Leonor completed three years of rigorous military training, serving as a cadet in Zaragoza, a midshipman in the Spanish Navy, and continuing at the General Air Academy in San Javier.
  • Dean Antonio Descalzo González confirmed student selection is based on entrance exam scores, while Rector Angel Arias stated, "The Princess is excited, calm, and eager to begin," noting her first class is legal theory.
  • Student Hugo Pérez, 22, told HOLA, "You never see the campus like this, waiting for a student to arrive, but I've seen her as just another student," reflecting calm integration despite royal attention.
  • This four-year degree prepares the heir for her future role as Spain's queen regnant, continuing a pattern of independent education established during her previous studies at UWC Atlantic College in Wales.
