The Spanish Crown Princess is currently undergoing tough military training – elsewhere Leonor is showing her softer side
In Zaragoza, Leonor from Spain is currently experiencing the seriousness of life: rigorous military training is preparing her for her future. One day the 18-year-old will inherit her father King Felipe (56), who is also commander-in-chief of the Spanish armed forces. What the Crown Princess still needs on her way to the throne is a partner at her side. Also to secure the succession. It seems that the daughter of Queen Letizia (51) has long since found her dream prince.
Crown Princess Leonor pays a high price for love
There is said to have been a spark between the heir to the throne and Gabriel Giacomelli in Wales, at the UWC College, which both attended. As BUNTE knows, the son of a millionaire couple from Brazil grew up in New York. His mother is successful in the advertising industry, his father works as an investment banker for Deutsche Bank and has a doctorate in philosophy from an elite US university. He is recognized as an expert in the international financial industry. The family lives in a posh apartment building on the Hudson River, not far from famous Wall Street. After graduating, Gabriel moved back to the Big Apple – where Leonor recently visited him, according to Spanish and Italian media.
The future Queen of Spain had a few days off over Easter and is said to have taken a plane to America. Leonor continues to pay a high price for love – namely that she and her partner are separated by thousands of kilometers. A long-distance relationship costs time, energy and money. But apparently the granddaughter of former king Juan Carlos (86) is worth all these efforts.
Palace keeps Leonor’s private life a secret
What must be mentioned in fairness: With Leonor’s 18th birthday, a lot changed for the future queen, but the palace continues to protect her privacy. The relationship with Gabriel Giacomelli has not yet been officially confirmed. But the young man is said to have already had an audience with his future parents-in-law last spring. Leonor’s focus, at least ostensibly, remains on royal duty – she already puts her life in the service of the crown. Your training in Zaragoza will continue until 2026.
