On June 3, 2026, Princess Leonor received the Gold Medal of the Regional Assembly of Murcia, the highest honorary distinction awarded by the autonomous parliament. The award recognized her “institutional representation of the Crown, exemplary conduct and commitment to public service, defense of the unity and diversity of Spain, and her institutional ties with the Region of Murcia.”
In the central courtyard of the Regional Assembly of Murcia, following the reading of the resolution granting the Gold Medal by the Secretary General of the Assembly, the President of the Murcian Parliament, Visitación Martínez, presented Her Royal Highness with the institution’s Gold Medal.
The Princess of Asturias also visited San Javier Town Hall, where she was awarded the Gold Medal of the Municipality of San Javier and named an Adopted Daughter of the town.
Later, the Princess arrived at the Palace of San Esteban, the seat of the Presidency of the Region of Murcia and the Regional Government, where she received the Gold Medal of the Region of Murcia. She was awarded the autonomous community’s highest distinction in recognition of the completion of her military training at the General Air and Space Academy.
Upon her arrival at the Palace of San Esteban, Her Royal Highness was welcomed by the President of the Region of Murcia. She then greeted members of the Regional Government in the palace cloister and, in the chapel, met former Presidents of the Region of Murcia, María Antonia Martínez and Alberto Garre, before signing the Region’s Golden Book.
She’s gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBut I find always - across all countries where I see it - an inherent strangeness in presenting awards to royals. There will be many more unrecognised people working harder, smarter, more effectively - and they could well do with the prize, the medal, the recognition. I guess it’s an age old tradition.
I agree and that is nothing against Leonor. She seems to be a fine young woman who takes her duties seriously but more recognition should be given to those who work behind the scenes so to speak.
DeleteIt is an award from the autonomous región of Murcia, not from Spain, there are 17 autonomous communities, a small prize.
DeleteLeonor is so impressive. Many congratulations on what she has already achieved. She is a wonderful role model for young women. Her parents - indeed all of Spain - must be so proud of her. May she wear the weight of such heavy expectations lightly.
ReplyDeleteWell said. I agree. Spain must be proud.
DeleteLeonor appears impressively poised and confident.
