Princess Leonor will begin on September 7 the Degree in Political Science at the Carlos III University of Madrid, marking the beginning of a new stage in her preparation as future head of State. This university phase will be quite different from the training she has received until now.
After three years of military training in the three branches of the Armed Forces, the heir to the Spanish Crown will now attend a public university campus. There she will live daily with hundreds of young people, something completely different from her previous education.
This change happens in an era when anyone carries a mobile phone with a camera and access to social media, which will mean that Leonor will be under unprecedented media and social attention during her academic life.
