What about Princess Leonor’s safety: Está en peligro?

Princess Leonor is living a unique experience in her life. In the midst of an exciting journey aboard the ship Juan Sebastian Elcano, the daughter of King Felipe and Queen Letizia is embarking on a voyage that will take her to visit several countries in Latin America, with a final highlight in New York, where she will be received by her grandmother, Queen Emeritus Sofia.

However, as in any great adventure, some risks lurk on the horizon.

Although the princess’s safety has been an issue of concern, she is known to be moving forward with her mission.

What about Princess Leonor’s safety?

Recently, the press has noted that a private vessel has been following the same route as the Juan Sebastian Elcano since its departure from Spain, and this has set off alarm bells in the Royal Household.

According to Spanish press reports, the situation has been somewhat different for Leonor compared to her father, King Felipe, who sailed these same seas in his youth.

Although authorities have ruled out direct threats, the proximity of this boat, which belongs to a Madrid businessman, has raised concerns, especially due to fears of possible leaks of unauthorized images of the young heiress and her companions.

Even though the vessel has taken the precaution of keeping a “prudent distance” from the Elcano, its constant presence has led the Navy to reinforce security measures.

Those in charge of the private ship have been reminded of the protocols and restrictions on approaching the training ship, underscoring the public interest generated by Leonor and the challenges of preserving her privacy even in such a controlled environment.

Leonor will sail for several months, conducting various exercises with her shipmates aboard this emblematic Spanish Navy vessel.

Her first stop away from Spain is expected to be in Brazil on February 14, a moment that will mark the voyage.

Although Princess Leonor is getting used to her role and life on board, on land she will always be treated as the princess and royal highness that she is.

This voyage will mark a significant milestone in her life and an exciting chapter in her journey into the future.
