The Minister for Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, José Manuel Albares, will accompany Her Royal Highness the Princess of Asturias on a visit to Portugal on 12 July, her first official trip abroad. Princess Leonor will be received at the Belém Palace by President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa.
The schedule for this visit, undertaken at the express invitation of President Rebelo de Sousa, will have a particular focus on environmental protection and ocean conservation, priority issues for Portugal and Spain.
Minister Albares, together with his Portuguese counterpart, Paulo Rangel, will participate in the various institutional meetings to take place in Lisbon during the official visit.
The choice of Portugal as the destination for Her Royal Highness the Princess of Asturias' first official trip abroad reflects and strengthens the bonds of fraternity and close ties that unite the two countries.
It's very likely it's her. She's been photographed more times in Jaca. Apparently she and her fellow cadets are still training before graduation at the military school of Candanchu (where they were seen skiing this winter as part of their mountain military training)Are we even sure its Leonor?
Poor Leonor trying to enjoy herself and personally I'm against this sort of online intrusion!It's very likely it's her. She's been photographed more times in Jaca. Apparently she and her fellow cadets are still training before graduation at the military school of Candanchu (where they were seen skiing this winter as part of their mountain military training)
Jaca is the biggest local town and the local festival is taking place this week.
I hope all goes well for you , hope and prayers .Great news! Portugal is a great choice for the first official trip abroad! I will be in Lisbon, though I will be in the Hospital, so I won't be able to see the Princess.
Btw, it will be a busy week for Leonor since she has The Princess of Girona awards on July 10th (and the events related to it) and two days later the official trip. I bet that after that busy week she'll have her deserved vacations
Leonor made her speech in Spanish, but at the end she made the toast in Portuguese.Will she be speaking Portuguese to the President and throughout her time there?
The Spanish Royal Family has always had a very good relationship with the Presidents of Portugal, and the family is closely linked to the country because the Count and Countess of Barcelona lived there for many years (infanta Margarita has a house in the country). Portugal was also the first destination of the new King Felipe.I realize the Portuguese President knows her and is a family friend, but he sincerely appears extremely fond of her. The effect of today was something like Leonor going on a very elaborate visit to see an older relative.
