Princess Leonor Makes First Official Navarra Visit as Princess of Viana

A two-day program presented as a measured step in her public role during military training links the 1423 dignity to the territory that bears its name.

Overview

  • The heir arrived in Pamplona with King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia for an institutional welcome at the Palacio de Navarra by regional president María Chivite.
  • Inside, archive director Félix Segura presented the original 1423 act creating the Principality of Viana, underscoring the historical bond between title and territory.
  • Leonor signed the Book of Honor and wrote that the title commits and obliges her, marking her public debut in the community associated with that dignity.
  • Crowds later filled Viana’s Plaza de los Fueros to greet the royals, as parties such as Bildu and Contigo Navarra rejected the visit and did not attend official events.
  • The program moves to the Monastery of Leyre this afternoon and to Olite and Tudela on Saturday during a pause in Leonor’s studies at the Air and Space Academy.
