Leonor wears Army uniform as Spain marks National Day in Madrid
Spain’s royal family attended the National Day parade in Madrid on October 12.
King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia presided over the ceremony with their daughters, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía.

Leonor has completed military training with Spain’s three armed services, including at academies for the Army, Navy and Air Force.
