The 19-year-old royal is undertaking a training cruise, sailing through two oceans, and visiting 10 ports and eight countries in America, according to La Vanguardia. She is following in the footsteps of her father, Felipe, and her grandfather, King Juan Carlos, who also carried out a similar trip.

Leonor - who began three years of military training in 2023 - looked just the part in a black uniform. She styled her brunette tresses in a sleek low bun, allowing her sailing hat to sit comfortably, and added a pair of white gloves. The royal wore little makeup for the occasion, revealing her naturally glowing complexion.
