Happiness for King Felipe VI thanks to the big news about Princess Leonor

A wave of pride and happiness surrounds King Felipe VI after the latest and significant news about his daughter, Princess Leonor, became known. The heir to the Spanish throne is preparing to assume a new and symbolic title within the monarchical tradition: Princess of Viana. Although some might let their imagination run wild and nickname her “princess of the skies” after seeing her recently in contact with military aircraft, the reality is much more down-to-earth.

Leonor, who already holds titles such as Princess of Asturias and Princess of Girona, will add the title of Princess of Viana in a few days, a title deeply connected to the former Kingdom of Navarre. This had not happened until now.

This title, one of the oldest within the Royal House, was originally created to designate the heirs to the Navarrese throne. After the unification of the kingdoms that today make up Spain, it became part of the set of traditional titles inherited from parents to children in Spanish royalty.

Princess Leonor and King Felipe VI will visit Navarre in the coming weeks, where something historic will happen

Between Thursday, September 25 and Saturday, September 27, Princess Leonor will use this historic title for the first time during an official visit to Navarre. On this trip, which promises to be brief but full of symbolism, she will visit key places such as Pamplona, Tudela, and the Monastery of Leyre. Of course, the town of Viana, which gives the title its name.

The most moving part of the event will be the presence of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, who will accompany their daughter at this event. The monarch was the last member of the Royal Family to hold and use the title of Prince of Viana.

King Felipe VI is the last monarch to use the title

After the Viana City Council recalled the existence of the title in 1998, which until then had fallen into disuse. Since then, the current monarch used it every time he visited Navarre. The Princess of Viana Awards were even promoted, following the model of the well-known Asturias and Girona awards.

This new stage for Leonor not only strengthens her training as a future queen, but also represents a moving moment for her father, King Felipe. He will be able to see how his daughter continues a tradition that he himself helped to recover. Without a doubt, a historic event that will fill the monarch and all
