00:00 On her 18th birthday, which fell on October 31, 2023, Spain welcomed its future queen,
00:12 Princess Leonor, as she solemnly swore an oath to the Constitution.
00:17 The joint session of the Spanish Congress and Senate, where this momentous occasion
00:22 took place, she was met with a standing ovation from the members in attendance.
00:28 Princess Leonor is the eldest daughter of the current King of Spain Felipe VI and Queen
00:33 Letizia.
00:34 In 2005, Leonor captured the hearts of the Spanish people with her grace and intelligence.
00:41 She is seen as a beacon of hope in renewing the image of the royal house, especially following
00:46 the controversial face of her grandfather, former King Joan Carlos.
00:51 The former king has faced severe allegations, including accusations of money laundering
00:57 and reports of harassment by his former lover, Princess Corina Zuzanne Wittgenstein, a German
01:04 aristocrat.
01:05 These accusations have indeed tarnished the reputation of the Spanish royal family.
01:11 The formal oath ceremony of Princess Leonor has kindled renewed optimism.
01:18 Princess Leonor's popularity, known as "Leonor-mania", had taken hold among the Spaniards.
01:25 Experts believe her success is linked to her limited exposure in the media.
01:29 In a world where social media often fuels controversies, Princess Leonor managed to
01:34 maintain a low profile, which helped shape her positive image in the public.
01:40 According to Fernando Reon, a journalist and professor, the royal family's strategic
01:44 timing played a role as Princess Leonor kept a discreet profile during her study years,
01:50 which contributed to her favourable image.
01:53 Leonor's popularity is widespread and as reported by Hola magazine, a mere 21% of Spaniards
02:02 believe she is unprepared for her role as the future head of the state.
02:06 While her personal life remains largely private, her presence on the national stage has taken
02:11 centre stage.
02:12 And the anticipation for her reign continues to grow, marking an exciting chapter in Spanish
02:19 history.
