After joining his daughter in a enthusiastic fly past in full military garb, alongside the Order of Charles III, Spain's highest honour, Felipe paid homage to the 20-year-old and other military personnel.

"I know, Leonor, that your experiences of these past few years are helping you to understand and fully embrace the commitment and sense of duty that are the moral compass of military life; the path chosen for themselves by all the men and women who make up our Armed Forces and the Civil Guard," King Felipe noted.
