Princess Eleanor’s Role in Queen Elizabeth’s Jubilee

The United Kingdom has been celebrating since June 2 and at least until the following day 5. The platinum anniversary of Isabel II so deserves it. The longest-serving monarch of the European royal family has overcome her mobility problems to participate in the events planned for this holiday season. The first was the Trooping The Color, where he had the company of his family, the “active” members of the crown, as they themselves described it. That excluded Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle from the equation, as did the Duke of York, who recently tested positive for Covid. However, you don’t have to be a Brit to celebrate such a big date in the British Isles. And if not, let them tell you Eleanor of Bourbon†

The daughter of Kings Felipe and Letizia will actively participate in the celebrations for the anniversary of Elizabeth II. It goes through the school in Wales where he studies. Just like the rest of the schools and universities, the UWC College, in which Princess Alexia of the Netherlands also participates, will be carrying out special activities for this reason. And Leonor is of course one of them.

The boarding school has prepared itself for this Friday afternoon a outdoor party in the castle of San Donato. The party kicks off at 7.30pm local time with a spectacular setting created from the gardens of Atlantic College, which is being organized by the boarding school management, St Donats Community Council and NCI St Donats Bay. Food and drink stalls have been set up and leisure and entertainment activities have been organised. At 9.30 pm one of the big moments is expected with the lighting of a beacon, which will contribute to the 1,500 fires estimated to be lit across the country, including the overseas territories, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and Commonwealth capitals. This is a common custom in England. For example, in 1987 they were lit for Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee and Elizabeth II did the same for her silver, gold and diamond anniversaries, including her 90th birthday in 2016.

A few days ago we saw how the UWC was preparing another great outing for its students to the forest where a Harry Potter movie was shot. “It’s time to spend a few days camping in the Forest of Dean – cooking, cleaning, hiking, problem solving and exercising in a peaceful environment. And after all that, the evening ends around a campfire full of toasty sweet clouds and songs,” they wrote in the school’s official account.

The platinum anniversary celebration will be one of the last major plans to be implemented at Leonor’s Welsh school since the next June 17 will close its doors until the next course. After the organization of a year-end party, the freshmen will leave the premises at 10 p.m. to board the downtown chartered coaches that will take them to London’s Heathrow Airport. From there, Leonor de Borbón is expected to fly to Madrid, where her parents and sister will be waiting for her with open arms. Exactly, Sofia will get 3º from ESO on June 22, in the Santa María de los Rosales School.

A summer with no clear plans lies ahead of him, except traveling with his parents to Mallorca, as every year. What seems certain is that they will try to spend as much time together as possible after a few months apart. The last time Princess Leonor was in Spain was on April 16, on the occasion of a few vacation days she was getting at her school. Taking the opportunity to show his support for the victims of Ukraine, he went to the Reception, Reception and Referral Center (CREADE) for Ukrainian refugees in Pozuelo de Alarcón (Madrid). Likewise, he attended a conference on youth and cybersecurity at a Leganés Institute. The young woman took several photos with the students, with whom she was always very close.
