Leonor Advances Navarre Debut as Princess of Viana With Olite and Tudela Stops

The two-day itinerary signals a calibrated push to elevate the heir’s institutional profile during a training pause at San Javier.

Overview

  • On Friday in Pamplona, Leonor viewed the unique 1423 charter that created the Principado de Viana, with explanations from archival chief Félix Segura.
  • She signed the Libro de Honor, writing that the title “me compromete y me responsabiliza,” before greeting large crowds in Viana and paying tribute at the Monastery of Leyre.
  • Saturday’s program features a tour of the Royal Palace-Castle of Olite and a visit to Tudela for a city hall reception and a meeting with youth and civic groups at the UNED’s Marqués de San Adrián site.
  • The visit, facilitated by President María Chivite’s government, follows years in which regional authorities limited royal participation in Viana-related ceremonies.
  • Public response has ranged from modest turnout at the Palacio de Navarra to enthusiastic receptions in Viana and Olite, alongside criticism from parties such as Bildu and Contigo Navarra.
