Eleanor’s farewell to Wales with a great unknown resolved

princess eleano count the hours to return to Spain After successfully passing his first year in the UWC Atlantic College of Wales† The Spanish heiress has shared the academic year with Princess Alexia of the Netherlands, who also moved to the Valley of Glamorgan in September to start her first International Baccalaureate course. The princesses have been able to experience for the first time what it is like to live far away from the comfort of the palace; although their experiences in Wales are far from comparable†

Classes officially end this Friday. UWC Atlantic College, where Princess Leonor has been staying for more than ten months. At the end of August last year, King Felipe and Queen Letizia, accompanied by Princess Sofia, attended the Adolfo Suarez Madrid Barajas . Airport to say goodbye to Leonor, who started her freshman year of high school days later. The Princess of Asturias He has enjoyed an experience he will never forget for over ten months, and has shared facilities with Princess Alexia of the Netherlands. Like Leonor, King William and Máxima’s middle daughter managed to pass the entrance exams and moved to San Donato Castle to embark on what was also her first extended stay away from her family. All students of this prestigious boarding school are required to leave the facilities permanently before 10:00 am on the morning of next Saturday, June 18; moment when the center will definitively close its doors until the start of the next school year.

At the age of 16, the princess of Asturias already knows what it’s like to live far from home, away from her family and without the comforts that she can have in the palace. During his long stay in the UWC Atlantic College from Wales has chosen to remain low profile, and he’s barely been seen in some of the public events his colleagues have staged. Sources close to the school reported last year: LOC that there was no distinction with the people who came to study in the facilities. The only requirement for students like Princess Leonor is that her personal tutors should be as discreet as possible so that her classmates can carry out the various activities without being disturbed. A discretion that has also been transferred to Princess Leonor, who prefers to remain as unnoticed as possible to try to maintain their privacy during the months that their stay in the castle of San Donato lasted.

The big unknown about what Eleanor’s daily life was like in Wales is finally solved† and when we consider the position that the school has taken since the arrival of the princess, everything seems to indicate that eventually the Spanish heiress has been able to enjoy some `privileges’ during his stay at the castle of San Donato. When Leonor left for the islands in late August, everything seemed to indicate that we might see some images of the princess during her new experience in Wales. However, the school has chosen to pay close attention to this detail, and Leonor does not appear in any publication with her colleagues. Another question was to know whether the Royal House itself would be in charge of disseminating some of the most remarkable moments of his experience in Wales, which in the end did not happen.

Eleanor’s discretion collides head on with Princess Alexia’s attitude from the Netherlands, who also started his first year of the International Baccalaureate in September at the same boarding school. While Leonor has chosen not to participate in some of the boarding acts that have had more public attention; Alexia has reached sow controversy in your country after middle Dutch This in Datjes post some pictures of her surrounded by other students. Some images previously posted on social networks in which Alexia seems scantily dressed during the celebration of queer week, an event organized by the boarding school itself to give visibility to young people who feel identified with the LGTBIQ+ collective. Also the middle daughter of the kings Willem and Máxima of the Netherlands actively participated in a demonstration against climate change† The boarding school decided to publish a video of the young princess as she parades through the city streets with her classmates with a multitude of banners.

While it has not been officially confirmed that Leonor did not participate in the demonstration, the truth is that: no graphic proof to prove he did it. The different attitudes that both princesses adopt may be due to the fact that Eleanor is the heir apparent, while Alexia is the middle daughter of the kings of the Netherlands; so the dutch princess is a lot less subject to the strict formalities of the Crown† While this may only be due to the fact that their personalities are completely opposite: while Leonor is the epitome of discretion and formality, Alexia has always been a bit more rebellious. This weekend the princess of Asturias on the way back to Spain, where he will be reunited with his parents and sister, who will finish her classes next Thursday, June 23. Just like her older sister, Princess Sofia counts all the hours until her long awaited summer vacationafter receiving its third quarter figures on June 1.
